Box Office Report: Aug. 3-5

Matt Damon grabbed the top spot at the box office for the second time this summer (“Ocean’s Thirteen” being the first), as “The Bourne Ultimatum” fought its way to an easy victory over the weekend, pulling in nearly $70 million. That makes it easily the biggest opener of the film series, a rarity in the world of sequels.

Last week’s number one, “The Simpsons Movie” fell to second, earning $25.1 million, or about 66 percent less than its first weekend. Still, it’s pulled in more than $235 million worldwide, so it would seem far from sad news for the Simpson clan.
