JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM Claws Its Way To Monstrous $150 Million Opening; Tops $700M Worldwide
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom continues to beat expectations and is now projected to take in $150 million in its domestic debut. Plus, with over $711 million worldwide, it's now on course to top $1B!
Universal Pictures' and Amblin Entertainment's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has completely shattered initial expectations on its way to winning the weekend with an absolutely monstrous $150 million debut.
Internationally, the J.A. Bayona-directed film continued its dominating run with another $106.7 million, including another #1 finish in China with $32.4 million, topping Disney/Pixar's Incredibles 2, which opened to $21.2 million in Middle Kingdom. Overall, Fallen Kingdom has earned $561.5 million from 51 foreign markets (including $202.6 million from China) and its current worldwide haul stands at an impressive $711.5 million. It's now very much on course to top $1 billion by the end of its theatrical run, if not sooner.
While the critical reception has been decidedly mixed, the audience reaction since Thursday has been considerably better, as evidenced by the recently revealed A- CinemaScore. This is certainly good news for the blockbuster as it looks to command the box office until the release of Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp on July 6.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is now the third-highest grossing film of the year, behind only Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War and Marvel's Black Panther, and, with a $150 million opening, has secured the fourth-largest launch of 2018. Fallen Kingdom's opening is also the second-best in the history of Universal Pictures, behind only the original Jurassic World ($208.8M).
Meanwhile, Disney/Pixar's Incredibles 2 was also a major winner, finishing second with approximately $80 million, which brings its domestic total to an incredible $350.3 million. The Brad Bird-directed animated feature also earned another $56.8 million internationally and its current worldwide total stands at about $485 million.
Ocean's 8 and Tag finished third and fourth, respectively, with $11.65 million and $8.2 million. Ocean's 8 has now topped $100 million domestic and its worldwide total stands at $170.9 million ($100.3M domestic; $70.6M foreign), which is solid haul on a reported $70 million production budget. Tag continues to struggle with approximately $31.8 million worldwide ($30.3M domestic; $1.5M foreign) on a $28 million production budget, but there is a slight silver lining as it has yet to open in several major markets, including the U.K. Italy, and Germany.
20th Century Fox's Deadpool 2 finished fifth with $5.3 million and has now topped $300 million domestic and $400 million overseas. Its worldwide total now stands at a whopping $707.2 million ($304M domestic; $403M foreign). While it's unlikely to top the final total of the original, analysts are currently projecting a strong $740 million finish when all is said and done.
Disney/Lucasfilm's Solo: A Star Wars Story dropped to sixth with $4 million, bringing its disappointing worldwide cume to $353 million worldwide ($202.1M domestic; $151.3M foreign). Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War dipped to ninth with $2.5 million, bringing its total worldwide haul to $2.03 billion ($669.4M domestic; $1.361M foreign).
