Compass performs well at Japanese advance screeningsPosted by jessia on February 28, 2008 at 5:22 amVariety Asia reports that the Golden Compass earned 2.5m USD (Y270m) this past weekend at advanced screenings in Japan this weekend. Audience demographics exceeded expectations drawing in not only families but teens and fans in their fifties and sixties. Although the Japanese distributor Gaga has not released their own box office projections, Variety calculates: “A straight line B.O. projection would be $51 million — not “Harry Potter” territory, but not bad for a pic that finished in the US with $70 million.” This estimate would set worldwide box office gross to 380m USD according to Box Office Mojo’s numbers.

actually its performance in the chinese box office should be pretty negligible. even though it’s pretty impressive that there’ll be a chinese release, cinema-going culture is pretty dwarfed by the massive pirated/legitimate dvd culture. but it’s nice that TGC will see a big screen audience nonetheless.
