Catwoman Movie Opens To Meager Numbers

Cat Woman rolled into box offices making $17.2million dollars. It was enough to bump Spider Man 2, but could not bring I,Robot off the top notch. This opening is far from stellar and I predicted this. Cat Woman will not last long is my prediction, but I am sure it will get some rentals in the video store and be worth making. In my opinion this was a film doomed to fail from the beginning.

Inspired by the DC Comics anti-heroine, the studio press release says Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry), a woman who can't seem to stop apologizing for her own existence.

She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat.

With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wild cat, she's dangerous, elusive and untamed. Out to settle a few scores, Catwoman's adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), a cop who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman who appears to be responsible for a string of crime sprees plaguing the city. Sharon Stone plays beautiful cosmetics icon Laurel Hedare and Lambert Wilson is George, Laurel's pompous husband and owner of Hedare Beauty.
