The Jurassic World movies really have proven to be critic-proof (the previous entries in the franchise earned obscene amounts of money for Universal), and it looks like Dominion is going to continue the trend.
The "epic conclusion of the Jurassic saga" (we'll see about that) received a pretty sound bashing from the majority of critics, currently sitting as a rather dismal 31% on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences don't seem to have paid much attention, though, because the movie is heading for a mammoth global opening.
According to the latest box office updates, the Colin Trevorrow-helmed dino-disaster flick took in $59.6 million on Friday for a projected domestic debut of $142 million, and now looks set to finish the weekend with a worldwide total of $386 million.
This will easily give Dominion the No. 1 spot, although the mighty Top Gun: Maverick continues to over-perform on its way to the $400 million mark domestically.
