“Jason Bourne” Wins Big At Box Office

Jason BourneMatt Damon’s decision to return to the big screen as a mysterious CIA agent trying to regain his memory has paid off. Universal’s Jason Bourne topped the North American box office with a strong $60 million from 4,026 theaters, one of the best showings of summer to date and one of the few franchise titles to come in ahead of its predecessor. In 2012, The Bourne Legacy, starring Jeremy Renner, debuted to a soft $38.1 million. However, Jason Bourne didn’t match the $69 million launch of Damon’s The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007, but still ranks as the actor’s second-best opening.
