Damon is Da'man! "Supremacy" reigns supreme....

July 23 - 25 Weekend Estimates



1. The Bourne Supremacy - $54M

2. I, Robot - $22M

3. Catwoman - $17M

4. Spider-Man 2 - $15M

5. A Cinderella Story - $8M

6. Anchorman - $7M

7. Fahrenheit 9/11 - $5M

8. The Notebook - $4.5M

9. King Arthur - $3M

10. Shrek 2 - $2.5M



Debuting with double the opening weekend of the original, TBS continued the sequel streek of 2004. The weekend's other notable story is Catwoman, which took in $17M in its first 3-days. What's interesting to note about the film is that today the studio announced it was disappointed with the performance of the $80 million film. HOLD UP! All summer everyone was reporting the film cost well over $100 million. Sounds like damage control to me. Sony used the same tactic for Gigli last year when after its dismal opening decided to announce the budget as $54 million, when it had been reported it was spiraling way past $80 million mere months before. I know numbers can be tough to crunch, but $20 million on both counts seems a bit odd. Sidenote: Halle Berry was originally suppose to star in Gigli but backed out, and probably should have done the same with this year's disaster. Fahrenheit 9/11 crossed $100 million, and The Notebook had the smallest drop in the top 10 for the third straight week.





julia, now that we're #1 you can finally afford that forehead reduction like you always wanted
