Universal's
"Jurassic
World" has
become
the
fastest
film
to
gross
$500
million
in
North
America.
It
is
only
the
fifth
film
to
amass
that
figure
in
the
continent,
reports
ew.com.
In
its
third
weekend,
"Jurassic
World" brought
in
an
estimated
$54.2
million
and
narrowly
surpassed
Disney-Pixar's
latest
animation
film
"Inside
Out",
which
made
$52.1
million.
The
second
on
the
$500-million
grossers
list
is
the
2008
film
"The
Dark
Knight" which
minted
a
total
of
$534
million
in
the
North
American
market.
"Jurassic
World"
is
already
the
fastest
film
to
hit
$1
billion
globally,
and
the
last
weekend
brought
its
worldwide
total
to
an
estimated
$1.238
billion,
making
it
the
eighth
biggest
movie
of
all
time.
Even
though
the
film
topped
the
box
office
for
the
third
weekend
in
a
row,
it
was
still
a
tight
race
with
"Inside
Out",
which
also
had
a
strong
showing,
only
dropping
about
42
percent.
