Box office Catwoman gets skinned by Bourne-again moviegoers

Just another typical weekend at the box office, with Matt Damon ruling supreme in "The Bourne Supremacy," "Catwoman" being declawed and "Fahrenheit 9/11" reaching blockbuster status.

Damon's sequel took in $53.5 million, according to Nielsen EDI. Halle Berry's "Catwoman," meanwhile, which cost $100 million to make, brought in a measly $17.2 million — one of the lowest takes ever for a major comic-book adaptation. Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit" raked in $5 million, bringing its total to $103.4 million so far.
