'Jurassic World' Is the First Film to Pass $500 Million in One Weekend
There's hope for the film industry yet. Jurassic World, the long-awaited sequel to Jurassic Park (the last in the series was 2001's Jurassic Park III) grossed $524.4 million in its first weekend. Not that we needed more proof, but dinosaurs are forever. In America alone, the flick snatched $204.6 million, making it the second-biggest U.S. opener of all time, inches behind The Avengers' $207.4. UPDATE: Nope, it's the biggest American opener ever. Jurassic World actually earned $208.8 million over the weekend, according to the final report.
According to Box Office Mojo, Jurassic World debuted at No. 1 in all 66 territories it opened in. The prior single global weekend record was Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows: Part 2, which brought in a whopping $483 million in 2011.
