This past summer’s reunion project, which brought Damon and director Paul Greengrass into the fold for one more story, outgrossed The Bourne Legacy on every level.
And the box office numbers suggest that audiences — especially domestic crowds — prefer Damon at the head of the Bourne movie.

Moving forward, the Bourne series would be wise to keep its focus on Damon-led stories.
