‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Has Clawed & Eaten its Way to the Top

*As expected, Universal Pictures’ latest installation of the Jurrasic/dinosaur franchise,”Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” is laying waste to the box offce and setting records for the studio, according to Deadline.

Universal this morning is calling Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdoms opening weekend at $150M, which reps the studio’s second-best opening ever at the domestic B.O. after Jurassic World‘s gargantuan $208.8M start, and also outranks Furious 7‘s $147.1M bow. Fallen Kingdom‘s Saturday came in at $50M, -15% from its combined previews + Friday of $59M, which is the same Friday-Saturday ease posted by JW three summers ago.

Deadline has more good news for the film, Universal and the the film’s fans.

This is a fantastic start for the sequel, well ahead of its $135M lower-end tracking, and only 28% off from JW‘s 3-day, which before Avengers: Infinity War and Star Wars Force Awakens came along held the title as the highest domestic opening ever for six months in 2015. Note that’s a better hold between JW sequels than Star Wars, which eased 37% in its opening between Force Awakens ($247.9M) and Rogue One ($155M).

A thrilled Universal is calling the weekend’s demos at 56% under 25.
“When you see a Saturday like this easing 15% from that big Friday and preview gross, it means that families are driving business, and that’s why we posted the results that we did,” beamed Universal domestic distribution boss Jim Orr this morning. Fallen Kingdom blasts Uni off for a huge summer, which includes such pivotal pics as The First Purge on July 4, Dwayne Johnson’s Skyscraper, and Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!.
