Jurassic World #1 Third Week, hits $500M stateside
Quote:
Jurassic World, one of the biggest box-office sensations in history, grossed $54.2 million in its third outing to hit $500 million, becoming only the fifth film to earn $500 million or more domestically. The others are The Dark Knight ($534.9 million), The Avengers ($623.4 million), Titanic ($658.7 million) and Avatar ($760.5 million). To boot, it's now the top-grossing film of 2015 to date after overtaking Avengers: Age of Ultron ($452.5 million).
Internationally, the dinos also continued their rampage unabated, topping the foreign chart with $82.5 million from 66 markets for an offshore total of $737.5 million and global haul of $1.238 billion, stomping past Iron Man 3 ($1.215 billion) to become the No. 8 title of all time, not accounting for inflation.
In North America, Jurassic World is estimated to have narrowly won the weekend in a close contest with Inside Out, which is likewise a big summer winner.
The Pixar movie fell a mere 42 percent in its second outing to $52.2 million for an early domestic total of $184.9 million. Overseas, the critically acclaimed film earned $26.4 million as it expanded into a total of 42 markets for a foreign cume of $81.5 million and worldwide tally of $266.4 million.
I doubt it. Avatar was grossing 70-80M for many weeks consectutive... Jurassic won't keep that longevity but will for sure end it up in 4th or 3rd placed all time overall.
