‘‘The Dark Knight Rises’’ has finally fallen out of first place at the weekend box office.
Jeremy Renner’s action tale ‘‘The Bourne Legacy’’ took over as the No. 1 movie with a $40.3 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis’s political comedy, ‘‘The Campaign,’’ opened at No. 2 with $27.4 million.
The new movies pushed ‘‘The Dark Knight Rises’’ down to third place with $19.5 million, raising the superhero blockbuster’s three-week domestic total to $390.1 million.
The weekend’s other new wide release, Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones’s marital comic drama, ‘‘Hope Springs,’’ opened at No. 4 with $15.6 million.
‘‘The Dark Knight Rises’’ had been the
No. 1 movie for three straight weekends since debuting amid tragedy as a gunman killed 12 people and wounded 58 at a midnight screening of the film on opening day in Colorado.
The violence seems to have had little effect on the Batman finale.
Universal’s ‘‘The Bourne Legacy’’ casts Renner and Rachel Weisz in an offshoot of the three hits that starred Matt Damon as unstoppable operative Jason Bourne. (AP)
