The Bourne Ultimatum was a fantastic action movie. I really hope it hits $200 million.

It looks on track to clear $200 million, if not a little higher. Also, to date it's earned a little under $30 million internationally, so its total box office take is hovering around $191 million at the moment. At a budget of roughly $110 million, accounting for possibly $80-100 million in P&A, it will need to clear about $210 million to turn a profit from box office alone. Factor in DVD rentals/sales when that window rolls around, and it's almost certainly going to be profitable.

Yeah! Mclovin!!!! VERY solid start for an R rated teen comedy. Especially since its lacking the date movie potential of Knocked Up.

Poor stardust 19mill after two weeks is not good, they really got the shaft on competition and opening movies.

Stardust is a good movie, it's sad to see it not doing so well. I hope this won't impact any future Gaiman adaptations.

It probably will!

Stardust's main problem is marketing. They should just use something simple like "If you like Princess Bride, blahblahblah".

Poor Stardust.
