Golden Compass Bombs



Vulture Prepares for a Meal


"SATURDAY AM: Friday night only $8.6 million from 3,528 theaters with anemic per screen average. Weekend estimate is $27 million. Cost of movie: $200+ million (amid reports that director Chris Weitz confirmed the budget soared to $250 mil). This flop should sink New Line Cinema chairman Bob Shaye's chances to stay on when his contract expires in 2008... Full report Sunday AM."

GJ - Concerned Christians helped get the word broadcast about this atheist stinkbomb. I noticed the old apostate theme used again - "Surely we can be exposed to various viewpoints. That should strengthen our faith."

NBC tried to veto an ad thanking our military. The outrage was so great that the network relented.

Both episodes show that our voices do matter.
