All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below,
30 Days of Night is available if you have the need to get the
bejesus scared out of you, and you can finally catch the emotional
Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale on DVD.
The Golden Compass opened this past weekend to the tune of $26 million, easily
taking the top spot at the box office, but still
disappointing New Line studio heads who'd expected more like $30-40 million. This is especially frustrating given the $180 million it took to make the film.
Enchanted followed behind The Golden Compass in its third week in theaters, bringing in $10.7 million while This Christmas came in at No.

For the second weekend in a row,
Enchanted hypnotized audiences,
topping the box office by a long shot with $17 million. Family holiday flick
This Christmas stayed strong at No. 2, though took home about half as much as Enchanted did.

The magic of Disney strikes again! The half-animated, half-live-action fairytale story
Enchanted put a spell on the box office over the long
Thanksgiving weekend, bringing in
approximately $50 million over the five-day stretch. After Toy Story 2, Enchanted is the highest-grossing Disney movie to open Thanksgiving weekend.
Beowulf killed more than just a couple monsters over its opening weekend, easily
coming in at No. 1 at the box office with just over $28 million. The movie enjoyed the
widest release for a 3-D digital film ever, and was the first 3-D movie that wasn't for children.
