If the Bourne franchise is a medical patient, then Jason Bourne’s $60 million domestic opening would be considered a resuscitation for the ailing series.
However, it’s a much better result than The Bourne Legacy’s $38.1 million debut, so that’s something.
As far as the franchise at large goes, the opening is another second place result, as The Bourne Ultimatum is still the high water mark with $69 million.
Which is a good thing too, considering how the film was less than a resounding success with critics this past weekend.
