With the months and months of promotion behind Beowulf it only making 28 million is a let down in my opinion.
It should do decent over the next couple weeks, but it might not even recoup its budget.
I didnt really even know there was promotion about it. Besides the trailers over the past few weeks I only saw a short video hype trailer for it when I was at the Imax in Aug. Other then that I had no idea what it was.

The majority of big budget movies don't recoup their budget in box office receipts. When they do, they're considered a huge success. But Beowulf will probably total at least $100 million in theaters, and make another $200-250 in DVD sales.
Also, I expect it to do almost equal business this week, it's one of the biggest box office weeks of the year.
