Breaking into record-setting territory, Steven Spielberg’s 22-year-old dino franchise is far from extinct.<\/p>\n
Nobody saw this coming, not even Universal. Expected to open around the $100 million mark, ‘Jurassic World<\/strong>‘ proved to be a much bigger powerhouse than that. From 4,274 locations, the fourth installment in the franchise (which is the first in 14 years) reeled in $204.6 million, making it the second-highest opening of all time behind 2012’s ‘The Avengers’ ($207.4 million). And the success didn’t stop at North American borders.<\/p>\n Overseas, ‘Jurassic World’ grossed $307.2 million. It’s the second-highest international debut behind ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2’ ($314 million). Combined, ‘Jurassic World’ saw a worldwide debut of $511.8 million. This marks the first title to ever globally earn more than $500 million in a single weekend.<\/p>\n Despite the competition, Melissa McCarthy’s ‘Spy<\/strong>‘ continued to be successful as well. Its second weekend only declined 45% in attendance, which is quite strong for an R-rated comedy. The movie brought in another $16 million. After ten days, the genre spoof has made $56.9 million domestically, and $113.4 million globally.<\/p>\n While ‘Spy’ wasn’t crushed by the competition, ‘Jurassic World’ took a bite out of ‘San Andreas<\/strong>‘. The disaster flick’s third weekend took a 57% hit in attendance, but still managed to add another $11 million to its $119.3 million 17-day total. Worldwide, it has grossed $307.8 million.<\/p>\n Worse, ‘Insidious: Chapter 3<\/strong>‘ fell a brutal 68% in its second weekend. The PG-13 horror flick still managed to conjure up another $7.3 million. After ten days, it has earned $37.3 million, which isn’t too shabby for a $10 million movie with a tiny marketing campaign.<\/p>\n In its fifth weekend, ‘Pitch Perfect 2<\/strong>‘ rounded out the Top 5 and somehow only dropped 20% in attendance. An additional $6 million brings its domestic run up to $170.7 million.<\/p>\n Fox Searchlight’s award-winning Sundance acquisition ‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl<\/strong>‘ had a great 15-screen debut. The $210,000 limited opening resulted in a $14,000 per-screen average. It shouldn’t be long before the brilliant indie teen dramedy expands.<\/p>\n Box Office totals have yet to be released for documentaries ‘Live From New York!’ or ‘The Wolfpack’.<\/p>\n 1. ‘Jurassic World’ (Universal) – $204,600,000<\/p>\n 2. ‘Spy’ (Fox) – $16,000,000<\/p>\n 3. ‘San Andreas’ (Warner Bros.) – $11,010,000<\/p>\n 4. ‘Insidious: Chapter 3’ (Focus) – $7,300,000<\/p>\n 5. ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ (Universal) – $6,000,000<\/p>\n 6. ‘Entourage’ (Warner Bros.) – $4,340,000<\/p>\n 7. ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (Warner Bros.) – $4,130,000<\/p>\n 8. ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ (Buena Vista) – $3,641,000<\/p>\n 9. ‘Tomorrowland’ (Buena Vista) – $3,417,000<\/p>\n 10. ‘Love & Mercy’ (Roadside) – $1,765,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Breaking into record-setting territory, Steven Spielberg’s 22-year-old dino franchise is far from extinct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":70563,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[743],"tags":[178,2516,266,8211,5644,8186,8196],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70561"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70561"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70561\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":70661,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70561\/revisions\/70661"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Top 10:<\/h2>\n
