According to Box Office Mojo it may have only taken $41,639,000 at the domestic US box office since it's release 11 days ago (I cannot believe I've described that total as "only"!) but if you include the worldwide receipts so far it's taken $133,154,574 in total since it's release with an opening weekend of $25,783,232. That's not that bad, especially as it has only been out for 11 days. And it's still number 3 in the USA movie chart. Nope, it might not be doing as well as New Line had hoped but I don't think it's "tanked" just yet.

Methinks not! :lol: Is it coincidence that this announcement comes right after The Golden Compass tanked the big one? Methinks not! :lol:
