After a couple of underperforming weekends at the box office, The Bourne Legacy [BORN4] met expectation with an estimated $40.3 million to dethrone The Dark Knight Rises [BATM3] for first place. The spin-off sequel brought back older fans of the spy franchise with 70% of the audience over the age of 30.
The Campaign [CMPGN] took in $27.4 million to debut in second place. The political comedy attracted a crowd that was64% over the age of 25.
