‘Bourne Legacy’ $40M Weekend, ‘The Campaign’ $27.5M, ‘Hope Springs’ $14.5M

Saturday 9:45 Pm, 5th Update: Universal’s The Bourne Legacy – $40M weekend. Warner Bros’ The Campaign – $27.5M. Sony Pictures’ Hope Springs – $14.5M. Full analysis coming… Saturday 9 Am, 4th Update: Universal’s domestic weekend estimate for #1 The Bourne Legacy keeps dropping, from $48M midday Friday to $44M last night to now $41M this morning. And Friday’s figure has fallen from $15M to $14M. Which is cause for concern. Especially for a reboot that cost $125+M, is opening much lower than the last two original Bourne movies with Matt Damon, and has a star like Jeremy Renner without a proven track record at the international box office. Although the studio went into this weekend lowballing expectations around $35M, the real figure Universal wanted was $40M-$45M. Warner Bros’ #2 The Campaign also lowered its Friday opener from $11M to $10.2M, which puts its weekend estimate at $26.8M. The studio’s #3 The Dark Knight Rises »
