BOX OFFICE: Matt Damon's JASON BOURNE On Pace To Exceed Expectations With $61 Million+ Domestic Debut

Early tracking suggested Universal Pictures' Jason Bourne would have a modest opening, landing somewhere between $50-55 million domestic, but the actual weekend numbers are proving to be just a tad bit higher.

The latest installment in the long-running spy franchise is now on pace to open at around $61 million domestic and could quite possibly take in more when all is said and done. The sudden box office uptick can likely be attributed to a positive word-of-mouth as well as to the return of franchise star Matt Damon, who's back after nearly a decade. Internationally, the Paul Greengrass-directed action sequel is doing better than any of the previous installments and should collect over $49 million by the end of the weekend, bringing its worldwide sum to over $110 million, which is definitely not a bad start for a film that reportedly had a production budget of approximately $120 million.

With a $61 million domestic opening, Jason Bourne will become the second biggest opener in the entire franchise (and second biggest opener of Damon's career), only trailing The Bourne Ultimatum, which opened to $69.3 million back in 2007. The sequel also managed to outperform the opening weekend numbers of Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, which brought in over $55.5 million domestic during the same weekend last summer, although that film received a major boost from foreign markets where it managed to earn more than 71% of its final $682.3 million worldwide sum.

Elsewhere, the well-received Mila Kunis-led comedy Bad Moms had a solid opening, taking in between $27-30 million domestic. Paramount Pictures' Star Trek Beyond is expected to finish third with a $24 million weekend, bringing its domestic total to over $104 million.

The clock is now officially on for Warner Bros.' Suicide Squad, which is expected to rake in over $125 million by the end of next weekend.

So, what do you guys think? Have you seen Jason Bourne? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Global superstar Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role as Jason Bourne in the fifth installment of Universal Pictures’ Bourne franchise. Acclaimed director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, Captain Phillips) also returns for this much-anticipated chapter, and Frank Marshall again produces alongside Jeffrey Weiner and Ben Smith for Captivate Entertainment. Greengrass, Damon and Gregory Goodman also produce. The action-thriller is written by Greengrass, Damon and Christopher Rouse. Julia Stiles, Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones join Damon for the action-thriller.

It looks like it is possible if it keeps up bring in lots of money Matt will be playing Jason Bourne again. Hopefully if he does make a sequel Jeremy Renner will join that one too. Seeing them working together would be nice.

@BlackIceJoe - Wasn't the Damon-Renner combination the original plan for this film?

@BlackIceJoe - Early suicide squad reviews.

I'm just not a Jason Bourne fan. I saw the first and last additions by Damon and Bourne Legacy.

I just don't get the hype.
