Plenty of critics noticed this time that Jason Bourne was the same movie they had seen in 2004 and again in 2007. Well, if Universal wants a few more of these, the next time out this franchise needs to do something, anything, different than what it has done before.īack in 2007, I seemed to be the only one who noticed/cared that The Bourne Ultimatum was a glorified remake of The Bourne Supremacy. The franchise had been gone a long time, so they got away with The Bourne Clip Show thanks to audience loyalty. A $110 million global debut weekend, on a $120m budget (an important qualifier), appears to indicate that Universal's action franchise has been "rebourne." At that budget, they can make a few more of these if they so choose.
