Matt Damon is regarded as one of the most consistent and bankable stars in Hollywood. In the early years of his acting career, he gained recognition by playing the lead role in Francis Ford Coppola’s legal drama The Rainmaker. He further gained popularity by starring in the Oscar-winning drama Good Will Hunting and the psychological thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley. Later, he went on to star in an interesting mix of critically acclaimed films and box office hits, including Ocean’s Eleven, The Bourne Identity, The Departed, The Martian, Ford vs. Ferrari, The Last Duel, and Oppenheimer.

Now, Matt Damon is all geared up for his next ambitious venture—Christopher Nolan’s fantasy action film, The Odyssey, which is set to be released in theaters on July 17, 2026. Ahead of its theatrical release, let’s take a look at the worldwide box office performances of the last five films starring Matt Damon and find out which one among them delivered the best return on budget.
