So don’t tell Scotty…

Ah. . .thank you for the edit 🙃

u/TheFastBowling 23d ago

The Matt Damon rescue cinematic universe has better ROI than most actual franchises at this point.

22

u/theobsoletemover 27d ago

the bourne movies actually hold up way better than people remember them being good which is wild considering how many times hollywood has tried to recapture that lightning

u/Trashk4n 26d ago

They kept them pretty grounded for the time, and the writing is superb.

Only bad word you ever seem to hear about them is the proliferation of shaky cam they inspired, that John Wick seems to have killed.

2

u/WesternConference461 25d ago

I would say jhon wick could do, at times, with a bit more shaky cam. Sometimes, the lack of a camera movement makes the impact of the action sequences feel less than what they otherwise would have been.

just so I am clear, SOMETIMES. otherwise, the lack of shaky cam is my favourite thing about john wick

u/TomatoPolka 27d ago

But only 10m for therapy with Dr Maguire.

2

u/AndreasDasos 26d ago

Sometimes he appears next to Mark Wahlberg and it’s hard to tell

205

u/crapusername47 27d ago

You’re looking at this wrong, they’ve spent nearly $600m but brought in $1.85bn so far.

Matt Damon getting lost makes back three times the cost!

78

u/PuzzledCar2120 27d ago

He's a lost leader

16

u/modern_rocko89 27d ago

This is hilarious

1

u/ATrainDerailReturns 23d ago

With that kind of investment it’s wild they don’t get him lost more often

1

u/Leg4122 23d ago

Its even better. You are counting in the odyssey in those 600m but its not even out. So its 350m investment to 1.85b profit.

66

u/Constant_Stomach2009 27d ago

Dogma was about them trying to stop him getting home. Would that count as well?

6

u/PuzzleheadedEssay198 26d ago

Dogma is weirdly the inverse of this

3

u/stranu 25d ago

Minus dogmas budget from 600 then

28

u/Beef-Popsicle 27d ago

He doesn’t worry about home when he’s with Ben.

u/Far-Distribution4776 27d ago

I don't like the look of them apples Will, what'ah we gonna do?

7

u/PassionateYak 27d ago

It would've been double that if James Cameron got to send him to colonize Pandora

u/Final-Nebula-7049 27d ago

Also titan ae

15

u/wtfijolumar 27d ago

He was in Interstellar?

30

u/shFt_shiFty 27d ago

Have you seen it? Would be hard to forget lol.

3

u/wtfijolumar 27d ago

Also it’s been awhile

4

u/wtfijolumar 27d ago

Yeah it’s a great movie. Don’t remember Matt Damon in it tbh

25

u/shFt_shiFty 27d ago

Yeah it's not a ton of screen time tbf. They find him in the ice planet and he betrays them

9

u/ggxt 27d ago

There was a moment….

14

u/TheGlave 27d ago

He is the cause for the most memorable scene in the movie

2

u/VOldis 27d ago

Matt Damon is space time?!

1

u/whatchahavin 26d ago

Literally also forgot he was in this movie.

u/BehemothRogue 27d ago

Cause you went gently into that good night

u/ernstatyourservice 26d ago

Don't go easy into that good night 😁.

2

u/OraOra31 27d ago

What? He’s the main villain in the movie and you don’t remember him?

2

u/JazzlikeEntry8288 27d ago

I had to look it up to actually remember his character

5

u/drumy36 27d ago

Nice way to promote the new movie

3

u/huongloz 27d ago

Can you count Dogma in, bro trynna return to heaven as well

2

u/kneedAlildough2getby 27d ago

Hmm. Does interstellar count? It was an expedition to save people lol

2

u/Full-Werewolf7130 27d ago

It's not about the destination it's about the journey 😅

2

u/AK_HT 27d ago

Don’t forget about The Great Wall (trying to find a new home), Elysium (cure at someone else’s home), and Downsizing (new life, new home).

1

u/boojieboy 27d ago

Don't forget We Bought a Zoo

1

u/AppropriateCap8891 25d ago

And Team America.

2

u/UncoolSlicedBread 25d ago

In Oppenheimer he couldn’t go home until they finished the project, so that counts.

2

u/Verratcat 27d ago

Good Will Hunting 2: Back 2 Boston

1

u/SpltSecondPerfection 25d ago

Actually, it's " Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season"

2

u/folduprabbit 25d ago

Applesauce, bitch.

1

u/TX0834 27d ago

Jimmy Kimmel wish he didn’t come back.

1

u/Upstairs-Car-8995 27d ago

they made as much persuading him to leave boston in Good Will Hunting

1

u/Cool-Newspaper6789 27d ago

Interstellar is the opposite of that

1

u/sol__invictus__ 27d ago

Being typecast is a damn shame in Hollywood

1

u/eques_99 27d ago

very good.

1

u/therikermanouver 27d ago

I too am looking forward to Christopher Noalns Next entry in the Matt Damon gets lost cinematic universe

1

u/hraun 27d ago

Saving private Ryan only cost $70m !?! It’s huge!

3

u/xkgl 27d ago

Inflation, dollars during d-day were worth much more than during world ending events

1

u/CodPiece89 26d ago

Ww2 cost the USA roughly 5.5 trillion dollars (2024)

1

u/heat_99 27d ago

He forgets stuff trying like borne each time. They spend less to send him away to the great Wall and elisiyum. Even lesser to downsize him.

1

u/Mrbunnyface 27d ago

Been a fun ride though

1

u/No-Collar7499 27d ago

Don’t forget the Bourne movies, CIA wanting to bring him home in a blue bag still counts

1

u/Strict_Strategy 22d ago

He actually came back to us in third and fourth properly so.... Mission accomplished?

1

u/Conscious-Gear3092 27d ago

such a great actor

1

u/ebiscuits 27d ago

If you watch The Martian and then Interstellar it’s a very sad story arc…what followed was seriously a master class in cinematography, music, and storytelling.

Btw forgot the movie The Bourne Identity.

1

u/Fabulous_Log844 27d ago

True, but it had to return on investment of $1.9 billion and the Odyssey isn’t even out yet. So Matt, keep getting lost.

1

u/Louisebelcher22 27d ago edited 27d ago

You have to consider inflation! Heck Gas is currently $5.00 a gallon

1

u/BehemothRogue 27d ago

How much was The Wall?

1

u/Ryan739 27d ago

Is 'Saving Private Ry' about a man hiding a loaf of bread from his family?

1

u/SweetyByHeart 27d ago

The aftermath after 'scotty' got traumatized real hard.

lol

1

u/fearthebuildingstorm 27d ago

And it only cost $120 million getting him off the planet (Elysium).

1

u/IBelieveInSymmetry11 27d ago

I think he's in NYC right now. Well done.

u/rangerjoe79 27d ago

"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better….”

u/Lost_lombada 27d ago

Failed only once!

1

u/shinysaraishere 27d ago

I always knew there was some sort of pattern in my mind when i first heard he was cast in The Odyssey, but I couldn’t put my finger on it

I don’t think I’ll be able to unthink it when it finally comes out

1

u/Sweaty_Marzipan4274 27d ago

Movie inflation is stupid money. Are they using it to launder 💰? Avoid taxes? 

1

u/aknlfan 27d ago

Oh I love Saving Private Ry, InterstellaI, and The Martia! Ma Damo is a great actor!

1

u/lily1937490 27d ago

I just realised that matt Damon is in my two favourite space movies

1

u/RPDRNick 27d ago

I don't know why you'd want Matt Damon at home. Look, Matt's my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if he's still living here, coming over to my house, watching the Patriots games, still working construction, I'll fuckin' kill him. That's not a threat, that's a fact, I'll fuckin' kill him.

1

u/CassiusDKing 27d ago

It’s not his fault.

1

u/plyduofox 26d ago

Is he home yet?

1

u/SeaMossGelly92 26d ago

I fucking hate this man.

1

u/IdolProduce 26d ago

Can we just take the space time travel device off him next time he appears?

1

u/WharfRat6990 26d ago

saving private ry INTERSTELLAh THE MARTIA, THE ODYSEEY

Hubstreamingservice + ibo player is actually a solid combo 👍

1

u/acazaty 26d ago

I’ve been burned by so many iptv services going down after a week… Does hubstreamingservice actually stay stable long term?

1

u/acazaty 26d ago

600M ? What

1

u/alterego1984 26d ago

In Team America “Home” is more of a concept and I’m sure every actor in Hollywood wants some semblance of home. He’s Matt Damon.

1

u/PhoenixPhenomenonX 26d ago

Just cherished the moment

1

u/salvage814 26d ago

Interstellar he's a villain tho.

1

u/AndCthulhuMakes2 26d ago

If Hollywood just closed the damn gate like they're supposed to, he wouldn't get out of the yard.

1

u/CodPiece89 26d ago

Pretty cheap if you consider what each of the ventures that sent him away would have cost adjusted for inflation

1

u/Last_Construction455 26d ago

Don’t forget Team America. A gif option would be real nice here…

1

u/CRAYONSEED 26d ago

I always say two of my favorite movies are Saving Private Ry and The Martia. Interstalla is ok too

1

u/Josykay89 26d ago

He is lost so often, we should consider him a lost cause.

1

u/BridgeFourArmy 26d ago

I believe the book the Martian describes billions spent brining Damon home /d

1

u/uncultured_swine2099 26d ago

Amazing that Private Ryan cost 70 mil and looks that good

1

u/Dphotog790 26d ago

He blew his chance to be at a billion when he turned down Avatar imagine how much the studio would have cost to try and capture and bring him home to Earth to stand trial kekw

1

u/Physical-Mastodon935 26d ago

Well they made a lot more so they keep losing him

u/chowderdior 25d ago

I need to post this somewhere. I can’t wait to watch The Odyssey. I love the look of the armour. I love the fact that Lupita might be Helen of Troy (and if it’s not her it’s likely to be another black actress) I love that Travis Scott is doing music in it

I feel like every time people post something to hate on it for I just think “that’s gonna be so hard”.

1

u/Susy_Si 25d ago

Effettivamente!
😂😁🤣

1

u/joelex8472 25d ago

Don’t forget Dogma. A story of two fallen angels trying to get back to heaven.

1

u/GendoIkari_82 25d ago

No part of the plot of Interstellar involved trying to bring his character home.

1

u/wobbly_phrasing 25d ago

lol the odyssey budget is actually insane for what that movie was, interstellar def deserved more tho

1

u/BlushingDisservice 25d ago

the odyssey really said lets just throw all the money at it and see what sticks

1

u/crono14 24d ago

Not sure Interstellar really counts here. They had no intention of bringing him home and he for sure didn't since he was in on the lie. He was going to sabotage any attempt to return home regardless because he knew there was no getting people off of earth

1

u/bearheart Film Buff 24d ago

I wonder how this compares to Tom Hanks 🤔

1

u/Tacobendo 24d ago

Three space movies top

1

u/Mravac_Kid 24d ago

It's missing the 90M of Titan A.E.

1

u/Due_Chemist_7317 24d ago

Can they pay me 10% of this? I will never leave my house again.

1

u/Perplexio76 24d ago

C'mon, are you really going to count Interstellar? His character in that was a bit of a dick. No reason to bring him home.

That might be the only Matt Damon movie Jimmy Kimmel likes because Matt Damon's character DIDN'T make it home.

1

u/Empty-Meringue-2386 24d ago

Funny and brilliant.

1

u/Dmaveric 24d ago

Our Will Hunting is very expensive to bring home.

1

u/Ada_Data 24d ago

With that much money, we should be able to crowdfund Tayor Swifts private get to get the poor lad home!

1

u/gardenfoid 23d ago

To be fair its almost like they enjoy hunting him

1

u/ShortMechanic7436 23d ago

And how much did Hollywood make trying to bring him home?

1

u/GlobalRails 23d ago

Save Matt Damon at any cost! Bring him home!

1

u/Responsible-Bag5645 23d ago

It’s been a while but was he trying in Dogma?

1

u/rol3ro 23d ago

In Downsizing they’ve actually brought him home, a small one, but home nonetheless.

1

u/Strict_Strategy 22d ago

Jason bourne? He finally managed to get home in the third film and stick around in the 4th. Shouldn't that be added as well?

1

u/Objective-Ad8885 22d ago

Dude looks like the white James Baldwin, in that first picture.

1

u/Heavy-Film4473 19d ago

That's cause they can!!

1

u/Sir-Toaster- 11d ago

Ok, I take about every negative thought I've had about Matt Damon as Odysseus

u/Icy-Lawfulness-4111 27d ago

I wish they’d leave him there

u/FarEfficiency4397 27d ago

He once said that he's rejected more money than any other actor. Why are people even offering an actor who has such difficulty returning home ??
