Golden Compass' box office points overseas

The film easily took the number 1 spot at the box office with $26.1 million in sales, but this was a bit of a disappointment considering the $180 million dollar budget. New Line was hoping for an opening in the range of $30-40 million. However, the film got a much warmer reception internationally (surprising...not really...) with $55 million. With X-mas break approaching, I just hope Compass can have a lot of "legs" and make more money and that the overseas profit helps the film break even. Dammit I want to see the other two books get made into movies!!!
