I was still tempted to take the under, since a lot of people talk like it's the second coming of Gigli, and it's hard to argue with that considering the laughable previews. It's not a good sign when people laugh at your action movie preview in the theaters... but, Halle Berrie's body wrapped in that S&M outfit might be enough to bring in 20 million or more.
Usher report, as of 3PM EST:
BORN2 (300 seat theaters):
11:30 - 20% full
12:15 - 30% full
2:10 - 45% full (just under half)*
2:45 - 55% full
CATWM (300 seat theaters):
11:40 - 40% full
12:30 - 55-60% full
2:15 - 50% full*
* (Long concession lines noted, could be a shade higher.)
Catwoman came out of the gate on top, but I do expect this to change as the day progresses. As of 2PM, the scale was beginning to shift towards equal business (though this is difficult to project with so few shows completed). The mall/shopping factor may have contributed to this, as younger audiences chose the Halle/comic book flick over the Damon/spy flick. I’ll be curious to see how CATWM fares throughout the rest of the day.
For my theater, BORN2 is a shade below average right now and CATWM is average. Nothing remarkable yet, but it's early.
On a side note, they have sold quite a few of the glow-in-the-dark value-size cat cups!
The final report will be at 8PM EST, along with a rough projection on Friday #'s.

I saw Bourne 2 today and it was about 25% full in a 400 seat auditorium. Didn't check the other screen.
PS if anyone wants to see that movie take some drammamine beforehand. Someone needs to pistol-whip the dog $hit out of that director. I put that camera work on par with Blair Witch. Here it is 4.5 hours later and I still feel queasy. Luckily, I saw the other movie first otherwise I might have had to waste the ticket.

some guys at boxofficemojo have a strange formula to come up with predictions based off of yahoo user reviews, and here's one Friday prediction so far:
1700 at a 250 ratio is $6.8 million for CATWOMAN (a best case scenario, probably).
1300 at a 120 ratio is $10.8 million for BOURNE SUPREMACY (a reasonable scenario).

1300 at a 120 ratio is $10.8 million for BOURNE SUPREMACY (a reasonable scenario).
another report:
<span class="ev_code_RED">First show of BORN2 was better than first show of IRBOT.</span> First show of CATWM about ½ of BORN2, but still decent
-- jhamaker (aka "jhamaker11"), Jul 23, 17:25
The crowd for BORN2 was fairly diverse - with the exception of teen girls. Catwoman was mainly teen girls (13-15).

Have you noticed the level of accuracy of their predictions?
Patrons for Bourne 2 (at least where I saw it) were roughly 10 women and 90 men or boys.
After reviewing my post above, I'll say that I am a fan of the first one and enjoyed this storyline even though it had weird moments (like I've never seen someone hit such a small moving target from 1200 yards+). The camera flashes are what ruined it for me. It may not affect you but if it does about half to three-quarters through you're going to be wishing for the end to come.

sometimes he's surprisingly accurate, other times he's way off.
that other guy never posted his 8 oclock predictions. He did post a theater report, and Bourne sold out some late shows and Catwoman was about 50% full the rest of the night. My theater was pretty packed for the 10 oclock showing, people were lined up for that one an hour in advance. Expect a fairly large Friday number... and yeah, the shaky-cam did make me a bit queezy during one fight scene but it wasn't as bad for the rest of the movie, since there weren't really any more hand-to-hand fights, which was dissapointing. The movie wasn't bad, not as good as the first of course.

Actually.. it opened at +200 Looks like some people snaged it. Got to watch out for those bracket specials.
