$50 Million Opening Weekend Projected for 'Jason Bourne'
Matt Damon is back in action as Jason Bourne in the aptly titled, Jason Bourne. The franchise returns for its fifth installment and Damon's fourth appearance, and projections have it at $50 million for its opening weekend domestically.
It will open in 4,025 theaters, though its predicted total won't quite but up to scratch compared to The Bourne Supremacy ($52.5 million) or The Bourne Ultimatum ($69.3 million).
“[Damon] is back in the role that people love him in,” said Eric Handler, an analyst with MKM Partners. “I would think there’d be more excitement around the movie. There’s more positive than negative reviews and they’re promoting the heck out of it.”
