Filmmaker Paul Greengrass' "The Bourne Ultimatum" nabbed the best August opening on record, outperforming the debut of any James Bond film as well as the previous two installments in Universal's Jason Bourne spy franchise.  The film drew an estimated $70.2 million taking the weekend crown.

 “My name is Bond. James Bond”.  The James Bond franchise is one of the most recognized and lucrative in movie history. The next chapter will be written this year as the British actor Daniel Craig takes on the role of Bond from Pierce Brosnan in the coming movie “Casino Royale”. Now, is he the second coming of Connery or totally wrong for the part?

It is official, the Disney movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", has had the most successful opening weekend in Box Office history. In a time when people are talking about the demise of “Old Media” and the slump at the box office, “Pirates” comes along and grosses $136 million over three days in the US and Canada.

Today, Friday July 7, the much anticipated “Pirate of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” will hit the theaters. All the other studios have backed off any other big opening this weekend, afraid to challenge the mighty Captain Jack Sparrow and his fellow Pirates. It is probably a wise choice. The buzz online is loud and clear: this is going to be THE big summer flick. The movie is already climbing quickly in the number of Yahoo searches on Movies and Actors.
