The first “Bourne” movie, “The Bourne Identity,” was released in 2002. “Jason Bourne” topped the box office this weekend with an estimated $60 million debut in the U.S. and Canada. That’s a good start for the $20 million production, particularly since R-rated comedies tend to have long box-office lives. Overseas, “Jason Bourne” had a solid start as well, grossing $50.1 million in 46 foreign markets. With an average opening-night audience grade of A-, according to market-research firm CinemaScore, the $120 million production appears poised for a healthy run driven by audience word-of-mouth, despite mixed critical reviews.
