Bourne film sequel reigns supreme at US box office

MATT Damon’s The Bourne Supremacy, the sequel about the amnesiac assassin he played in The Bourne Identity, racked up $53.5 million (€44m) at the weekend, double the opening for the Bourne Identity.

Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 was No. 7 with $5m, lifting its domestic total to $103.35m, the first documentary ever to top $100m.

Halle Berry’s critically derided comic-book adaptation Catwoman opened a distant third with $17.16m, behind I, Robot, which took in $22.05m to lift its 10-day total to $95.4m.
