Bourne, Timberlake Lead People's Choice Nominees
Question: Where can you find Jamie Foxx, The Rock, and Joaquin Phoenix in the same place? Answer: The People's Choice Awards. The three are nominated for Favorite Leading Man for this year's awards, which include a pretty motley collection of stars overall.
Box Office: Halloween Slashes to No. 1 Spot
This holiday weekend, Rob Zombie's reimagined remake of horror classic Halloween took the box office crown, bringing in $31 million in sales over its three-day opening.
Superbad continues to do impressively well — this weekend the bawdy flick came in second place, just before ping-pong comedy Balls of Fury. The Bourne Ultimatum continued to be successful, coming in fourth place, while Rush Hour 3 followed behind at No.
Box Office: Superbad Has Super Staying Power
Teen raunch comedy Superbad continued to get tons of McLovin from audiences this weekend as it reigned at the box office for the second weekend in a row. Overall, this weekend's box office sales were somewhat unusual, with older movies taking the top three slots before the new releases. The Bourne Ultimatum came in second place — a nice accomplishment in the movie's third weekend in theaters — while Rush Hour 3 stayed strong at No.
Rush Hour 3 Zooms to the Top of the Box Office
Well, Brett Ratner has become an even wealthier man. Having figured out a most profitable buddy action flick formula, his latest movie Rush Hour 3 took the box office crown this weekend, raking in $50.2 million. Though extremely respectable, this sum falls short of the $67.4 million made by Rush Hour 2 its opening weekend in the summer of 2001.
Box Office: Ultimate Bourne Breaks Records
For this weekend at least, Jason Bourne reigned supreme over James Bond. The Bourne Ultimatum finished its premiere weekend with an estimated $70.2 million in ticket sales, beating not only the other two Bourne films but also the premiere numbers for any Bond movie. It was also the biggest August premiere for any movie ever, and it was a personal best for both star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass.
The Bourne Ultimatum: Ultimately Awesome
From the breathless start to the wholly satisfying finish, The Bourne Ultimatum is, well, the ultimate action movie experience. Plenty of suspense, intrigue, and fight scenes that somehow make Matt Damon even sexier than ever all add up to the most exciting and tensely gripping movies of the summer.
From the instant The Bourne Ultimatum begins, the shaky camerawork makes the viewer feel rushed and frantic.
Movie Preview: Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne movies are action flicks that I can get behind. What with the high-speed chases, clever plots to elude the authorities and Matt Damon (who I enjoy watching despite my suspicion that he's not quite the sharpest tool in the shed — sorry, Pop!) looking cute while fighting the bad guys, there's enough stuff going on to keep me engaged.
So the fact that this new, full-length trailer for The Bourne Ultimatum has me excitedly awaiting the August 3 release is no big surprise, but it is a happy one.
