“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” Makes $150 Million, Down $58 Mil from Original, While “Ocean’s 8,” “Solo,” Struggle to Hit Goals

Share

The dinosaurs roared in with $150 million.

“Fallen Kingdom” is number 1, of course, with a bib $150 million weekend. But keep in mind, that’s quite a bit off from the original “Jurassic World.” Three years ago the dino’s had a $208 million opening weekend.

So good news, bad news. The good news is, they’re still in the game. The bad news is, there was a lot less enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, “Ocean’s 8” finally hit $100 million after three weeks. That was a struggle.

“Solo” hit $200 million after its own struggles. The Han Solo movie still has a lot of life left in it.

A nice note: this is the maybe the first ever father-daughter box office report as Ron Howard directed “Solo” and Bryce Dallas Howard stars in “Fallen Kingdom.” Very nice! Couldn’t happen to better people!
