“Jurassic World” $204.6 Mil Weekend Is Second on All Time List

Share

Estimates this morning put “Jurassic World” at $204.6 million for the weekend making it the second biggest opening weekend of all time. And biggest opening of all time for a director no one had ever heard of (Trevorrow) replicating the work of the most famous director of all time (Spielberg). The audiences obviously loved “Jurassic World” even with its flaws because its flaws didn’t matter. It was literally a popcorn hit, huge fun, and hit all the right notes. No one cared about Bryce Dallas Howard’s high heels, or whether the dinosaurs were anatomically correct.
