1. The Golden Compass - A disappointing $26.1 million weekend proves it takes more than Nicole Kidman, epic battles, and armored CGI polar bear fights to bring in audiences. It also takes a giant robot polar bear that totally eats the shit out of every other polar bear.

2. Enchanted - I can't figure out why America paid $10.7 million to see a fairy tale princess in the real world when we've already had one. Rest in peace, Diana!

3. This Christmas - Why talk about the $5 million weekend gross when Chris Brown could sing about it?

4. Fred Claus - $4.7 million worth of recommendations to not see Fred Claus.

5. Beowulf - After taking in another $4.4 million, what's next for Beowulf? Answer: NEOwulf!

Honorable Mention: Juno only made $420,000, but it only played on seven screens, so that's nutso.
