I can't imagine founder Bob Shaye giving up so easily nor can I imagine the studio that put out the cash-printing Lord of the Rings franchise to disappear so quickly. Love in the Time of Cholera - $1.9M weekend / $4.3M total ( ~$45M budget)Įvery studio goes through some big downtimes, and maybe this is just New Line's. Martian Child - $3.3M weekend / $7.4M total ( ~$27M budget) Shoot 'Em Up - $5.7M weekend / $12.8M total ( ~$20M budget)Ĭode Name: The Cleaner - $4.2M weekend / $8.1M total ( ~$20M budget) The Last Mimzy - $10M weekend / $21.4M total I'm even worried if we'll even see a sequel now! SlashFilm's Mason also lists out New Line's very bad year.

In comparison, here are the #1 movie's box office earnings for the second weekend of December for the last 10 years.Ģ007 - The Golden Compass ($27M expected)Ģ005 - The Chronicles of Narnia ($66M weekend total)Ģ004 - Ocean's Twelve ($39M weekend total)Ģ003 - The Last Samurai ($24M weekend total)Ģ002 - Die Another Day ($13M weekend total)Ģ001 - Ocean's Eleven ($38M weekend total)Ģ000 - How the Grinch Stole Christmas ($19M weekend total)ġ998 - Star Trek: Insurrection ($22M weekend total)īox office analyst Steve Mason writes at SlashFilm that "$100M domestic is now a longshot, and the movie will probably finish only in the $80M-$90M range." Quite a low amount, well below the "reported" budget, not even considering the excessive marketing they've done. It's expect to be the #1 movie for the weekend, but it's a very weak opening for the second weekend of December. The film is expect to top out at $27 million for the weekend. The Golden Compass opened on Friday (December 7th) in 3,528 screens but only made an estimated total of $8.8 million on Friday. But at least I'm brave enough to ask the question that everyone is thinking but is too afraid to say. It's being referred to as a "disaster", but is it enough to bring about the eventual end of New Line? I hope not. Unfortunately things aren't going so well - The Golden Compass is doing very poorly at the box office on its opening weekend. Is New Line Cinema soon to become the next Orion Pictures or United Artists (before Tom Cruise bought it and started it back up)? They've had an incredibly bad year with every movie they've released and were relying heavily on The Golden Compass to perform very well, especially with its rumored $150-200 million (or more) budget.
