“Jurassic World” Revised: Number 1 All Time Opening, Sunday Was Bigger than Expected

Share

Revised: “Jurassic World” is the number 1 all time opening weekend movie. New numbers show Sunday was bigger than expected. Total in the US was $209 million, with $524 million total worldwide. Beats “Avengers” and everything else. It’s a resounding triumph for Universal Pictures, which is on a roll right now. Steven Spielberg really gets the kudos because his original idea has stood up so well. Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, et al must be getting huge gifts today.
