August is usually when the summer movie season slows down, but that didn't stop The Bourne Ultimatum, the last and most widely acclaimed of trilogy closers released over the three-month frame, from bringing in $70 million on opening weekend. This must break some sort of obscure made-up record, right? Yes! It's the strongest opening ever for a spy thriller and for the month of August, surpassing the $67 million made by the last Rush Hour movie. It also marked a significant improvement over the previous Bourne movies, which have steadily increased their take as the series has progressed, suggesting that people actually, you know, enjoy them (as opposed to feeling some weird cultural obligation to see them along with everybody else in America).
