Given the film’s massive, record-breaking and year-to-date-dominating opening, it was a foregone conclusion that Jurassic World would once more roar at the top of the American box-office charts. And so it has come to pass, with the dino-filled blockbuster earning $102 million for its second weekend, with $393.2 million domestically and passing $981.3 million worldwide, according to studio estimates.
The records just kept coming as the week progressed, and it will join the billion dollar club tomorrow, smashing past the recent 17-day milestone set by Fast & Furious 7. Still, since both properties are at Universal, the studio won’t have any complaints.
And while Disney/Pixar might be disappointed that Inside Out is the first film from the Emeryville gang not to debut at the top of the North American charts, it’s still a huge success for the company, with $91 million representing its second-highest opening ever after Toy Story 3. And Inside Out claimed its own record, crashing through Avatar’s $77 million debut for an original property despite playing on fewer screens. It’s worth noting that a certain other slightly popular Disney movie, called Frozen, opened in second place back in 2013 and that went on to do decent business. Given Inside Out’s warm reception with audiences and the fact that it still has to launch in the majority of its international territories, and the film should enjoy a long, successful run.
Melissa McCarthy’s Spy was pushed down from second to third, earning $10.5 million and San Andreas rumbled to fourth on $8.2 million. New release coming-of-age tale Dope opened slightly lower than hoped, launching fifth with $6 million.
Insidious Chapter 3 slipped to sixth, earning $4.1 million, while Pitch Perfect 2 fell to seventh and $3.3 million. Mad Max: Fury Road fell one place to eighth with $2.8 million with Avengers: Age Of Ultron down in ninth with $2.7 million and Tomorrowland bringing up the rear and preparing to leave the top ten with $2 million.
