Batman spent nearly a month atop the box office, but the Dark Knight has fallen. What movie hauled in the biggest bucks this weekend?
- 1
The Bourne Legacy
$40,265,000The fourth installment of the "Bourne Series" was the winner of the weekend, opening with over $40 million. The "Legacy" opening was higher than the $27 million "The Bourne Identity" took in opening weekend in 2002, but it's less than the $52 million and $69 million openings for "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Bourne Ultimatum."

The Campaign
$27,440,000Funny-men Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis (gesundheit) opened with a strong $27 million but it's a bit lower than the $40 million openings Ferrell has seen since "Talladega Nights" and that Galifianakis has had with the "Hangover" movies.

The Dark Knight Rises
$19,540,000"DKR" earned about half of what it did in the previous week, but it's approaching the $400 million mark for total earnings.

Hope Springs
$15,600,000The $15 million dollar opening might seem like a weak total, but Merryl Streep's films have never opened particularly strong. They always tend to do well in the following weeks though, and usually end with a lofty total.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
$8,200,000
Chalk one up for the Wimpy Kid. The third installment of this series managed to finish ahead of "Total Recall."
