"The Bourne Legacy" moves release date

"The Dark Knight Rises" isn't even released yet and already its casting a big shadow. So big in fact that Universal has decided to try and find some sunlight for its upcoming Bourne reboot/sequel/parallelquel/whateverquel "The Bourne Legacy" by moving the film's opening back a week to August 10th. Here is the relevant part of the press release from Universal.

Just as "The Avengers" demonstrated marketplace sustainability that well outpaced traditional patterns earlier this summer, the industry expects a similar trajectory for "The Dark Knight Rises". Moving one week further from its release will give "The Bourne Legacy" an even greater opportunity to maximize its opening box-office potential.
