There's a pretty long article in Variety today talking about the fact that The Golden Compass just passed the $300 million mark overseas while not even reaching $100 million here in the US, and why it might've failed here, and so on... the part that caught my interest was the film's producer Deborah Forte talking about her commitment to getting the sequels, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass, made. Says Forte:"'This was a success as a family movie in most countries, it's a very strong family franchise, it won an Academy Award. We have to make the second and the third movie...
I will make 'The Subtle Knife' and 'The Amber Spyglass,'" she vows. "I believe there are enough people who see what a viable and successful franchise we have.'"
Stick to your guns, Deborah! And while you're at it, maybe work a little harder on the quality too. Just a loving suggestion from a big fan of the books who saw The Golden Compass twice in theaters in the United States.
