The sequel-the-world-couldn't-wait-for,
Rush Hour 3, topped the weekend box office with a $50.3 million haul, well shy of No. 2's $67.4 mil bow but good enough to be the fourth-best August opening ever.
Rounding out the top five were
The Bourne Ultimatum ($33.7 million),
The Simpsons Movie ($11.1 mil), Claire Danes'
Stardust (opening with $9 mil) and
Underdog (flying steady with another $6.5 mil).
