JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM Claws Its Way To Monstrous $150 Million Opening; Tops $700 Million Worldwide
Universal Pictures' and Amblin Entertainment's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has completely shattered initial expectations on its way to winning the weekend with an absolutely monstrous $150 million debut.
Internationally, the J.A. Bayona-directed film continued its dominating run with another $106.7 million, including another #1 finish in China with $32.4 million, topping Disney/Pixar's Incredibles 2, which opened to $21.2 million in Middle Kingdom. Overall, Fallen Kingdom has earned $561.5 million from 51 foreign markets (including $202.6 million from China) and its current worldwide haul stands at an impressive $711.5 million. It's now very much on course to top $1 billion by the end of its theatrical run, if not sooner.
This is why Black Panther won so much. Jurassic World had a huge opening but because its released in the heart of Summer movie season, it'll face stiff competition every single week. Si cario comes out next week, Ant-Man 2 week after that and then Hotel Transylvania 3 and Skyscraper the week after that.
Black Panther being released in February allowed it to be #1 for 5 straight weeks
