The Bourne Ultimatum premiered at No. 1 with a huge $70.2 million gross. That's the best August opening ever (beating the $67.4 mil debut of 2001's Rush Hour 2). It's also the top debut for Damon, director Paul Greengrass, and the entire Bourne franchise (previous installments of which opened with $27.1 mil and $52.5 mil).
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY POINTS OUT: "this is the eighth bow north of $70 mil in 2007 — a truly eye-opening stat when you consider that there have only been 28 such premieres in history." Blogger note -- in other words -- more than 1/4 of all the huge debuts of all time have come in 2007 alone. BLOGGED BY JOYCE [email protected]
