The Bourne Legacy tops U.S Box Office !

Jeremy Renner plays Aaron Cross in the new instalment of  the Bourne franchise .

After taking a hefty $40.3 million dollars at the U.S box office, The Bourne Legacy knocks The Dark Knight Rises right off the top spot! Matt Damon's Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum took a whopping $52m and $69m respectively, so Renner should be more than happy for his takings. It will be seen as a solid opening for the latest film in the franchise, but lets see how it holds up for the next couple of weeks. Renner commented on the authenticity of his film compared to Damon's, in the sense that there was little CGI involved and that there is great believability in everything that was done in the film. Director Tony Gilroy recently suggested that Renner was the 'perfect person' to play Aaron Cross and that he needed someone who was just as 'soulful and talented' as Damon, believing that Renner was exactly that. The Bourne Legacy is now playing in the U.K so lets see if it can keep up with its chart-topping U.S success...
