Box office blog: 'Bourne' at the top

After a summer full of sequels, America still has a taste for more, and it's a good thing. Director Paul Greengrass' exciting and excellent "The Bourne Ultimatum" took in $70.2 million this weekend to top the box office, exceed tallies for the first two "Bourne" movies ($27.1 million, $52.5 million, respectively) and become the biggest August opening ever--besting the previous champ, "Rush Hour 2," which made $67.4 million over the same weekend in 2001. "Ultimatum" was also well ahead of the week's No. 2, "The Simpsons Movie," which dipped to $25.6 million in its second week of release. No other new releases made any significant waves, with the corny "Underdog" coming in at No. 3 with $12 million and Andy Samberg crashing and burning with his big-screen debut, with "Hot Rod" earning $5.01 million to finish at No. 9.

Which is your favorite "Bourne" movie? Was "Ultimatum" good enough to make you believe in this week's sequel, the awful-looking "Rush Hour 3"?
