"The Bourne Ultimatum" #1
at www.wildaboutmovies.com

Bourne Ultimatum Movie Poster

The third time was the charm for Matt Damon and "The Bourne Ultimatum's" Oscar nominated director, Paul Greengrass ("United 93"). The third film in the Jason Bourne saga - and one of nine films ("Pirates 3," "Spiderman 3," "Shrek 3," "Ocean's 13," "Rush Hour 3," "TMNT," "Die Hard 4," "Harry Potter 5") this year, which have been part of a trilogy, or more - debuted with over $70 million; nearly $20 million more than the second "Bourne," "The Bourne Supremacy;" and $45 million more than the original Bourne, "The Bourne Identity."

Last week's #1 movie, "The Simpsons Movie," dropped more than 60%, taking in $25.5 million. It will undoubtedly, however become the highest grossing non-Disney 2-D animated film of all time. And sequel is sure to arrive sooner, rather than later than 18 years - the length it took for the first big screen rendition of the 18 year old television sitcom.

Other new films this weekend, including "Walt Disney's Underdog;" SNL's Andy Samberg's (allegedly) "Hot Rod," (which interested just about no one), and those nasty "Bratz," all bombed, the latter two taking in less than $5 million.

In limited release, the Jane Austen based film, "Becoming Jane," starring Anne Hathaway, took in over $10,000 per screen, while the Jennifer Lopez biopic, "El Cantante," geared towards the Mexican and South American U.S. movie going audience, took in a healthy $6,000+ per screen.

One of the biggest high profile films of the summer, is a bomb; Michael Moore's "Sicko." While Moore's previous film, "Fahrenheit 9/11," broke box office records for a documentary, "Sicko," now on life support in theaters, dropping screen count precipitously each week since its release, will be lucky to cough up $25 million before it is put out - on DVD.
