As
expected,
Jurassic
World
ate
the
global
box
office
like
a
monster.
In
its
very
opening
weekend,
the
reboot
of
the
classic
Jurassic
Park
has
swept
away
the
box
office
with
a
record.
It
is
the
first
film
to
gross
more
than
$500m
world-wide
in
a
single
weekend.
Jurassic
World
made
a
whooping
$204.6m
(£131.4m)
in
the
US,
according
to
the
firm
Exhibitor
Relations.
Jurassic
World
starring
Chris
Pratt,
Bryce
Dallas
Howard,
Irrfan
Khan,
B.
D.
Wong
and
Nick
Robinson
has
become
the
first
film
from
the
Jurassic

series
to
take
more
than
$500m
at
the
box

on
its
opening
weekend!
It
collected

$29.6m

Now
this
comes
as
the
second

record
is
held
by

in
2012!
Jeff
Bock,
a
box
office
analyst
with
Exhibitor
Relations,
told
Variety,
"People
should
call
dinosaurs
the
original
superheroes.
They
are
just
as
big
as
Iron
Man
or
Superman
or
Batman
right
now."
Jurassic
World
which
is
the
forth
installment
from
Jurassic
Park
series
hit
theaters
on
June
11th
and
in
it's
opening
weekend,
the
movie
which
was
co-produced
by
Steven
Spielberg,
who
directed
the
first
two
films
in
the
series,
and
directed
by
Colin
Trevorrow,
shattered
the
box
office
worldwide.
Jurassic
Park
which
released
in
1993
collected
$1bn
globally.
The
sequel,
The
Lost
World:
Jurassic
Park
released
four
years
later,
and
Jurassic
Park
III

in
2001.
However,
the
4th
installment
which
released
nearly
a
decade
later
shows
that
dinosaurs
are
the
rulers
of
box
office.
