This weekend’s box office was a pretty soft affair, with no new film breaking into the top five: Expendables 2 stayed at first, Bourne Legacy held the second spot, and ParaNorman was up there in third place. But the real news of the weekend was the premiere of 2016 Obama’s America, the anti-Obama screed from right-wing commentator Dinesh D’Souza, which at $6.5 million clocks in as the biggest conservative documentary opener of all time.
