News From the Box Office: Fahrenheit an Official Blockbuster, Bourne Dominates, Catwoman Tanks Horribly.

A trio of interesting news bits from the box office this week. First, and somewhat surprisingly, The Bourne Supremacy totally dominated with a weekend take over $53 million. That’s almost half the total take of the first film in one weekend, which is mighty impressive for a film that received relatively little in the way of marketing. Catwoman, however received a monstrous marketing push and drew only $17 mil. When you factor in the overwhelmingly bad press Catwoman’s received plus the fact that there are three highly anticipated films – The Village, The Manchurian Candidate and Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle – opening next weeked I’d be willing to put down money that Catwoman’s take will drop about 70% next week and that it’ll be largely out of theaters the week after which means it’ll be lucky to make back the money spent on marketing, never mind what they spent actually making the stupid thing. And, finally, Fahrenheit 9/11, already by far the top grossing documentary of all time, has just become the first documentary to ever cross the $100 million mark and thus enter into official blockbuster status.
