I think it’s sad but I also think New Line deserves it.

It’s just sad, the books deserved a better studio.

Yeah, when I went the theatre was probably less than half full. It is quite sad, because like the books, this is really only one third of a much larger movie and there’s so much more to explore. I hope the worldwide box office numbers make the difference.

Anyway, great interview. Chris Weitz is amazing at explaining his reasons for having things happen they way they did in the film. Also looking forward to that director’s cut. Almost 40 minutes longer than the theatrical cut. That’s a lot of stuff we missed out on.

I am REALLY upset guys! Did you hear about the North American box office numbers this weekend? The Golden Compass only made around 25 million dollars! Websites around the internet are calling it a ‘bomb’, ‘disaster’ and a huge ‘disappointment’ for New Line. Does this guarantee that the sequels will never be made? If so, that would be the saddest thing in the world. What are your opinions? I think a lot of us were hoping that the movie would succeed so we could see all 3 feature films come to fruition. Do you think there is ANY chance that they will go ahead with the Subtle Knife? This sucks…

I wonder when we’ll know if they’re going to go ahead with the second movie. I’m hoping they will, but I read several articles stating that box office numbers were lower than expected for the first day. :\
