Classic Bond Forum

As much as The Golden Compass stunk up the US box office, it pulled in quite a bit of money internationally ($233 million, to be precise), which brings it's total up to $300 million worldwide. It's not going to recoup it's costs (it would need more than $360 million to do that), but it certainly ...
