JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM Exceeding Expectations; Roaring Toward $145.6 Million Debut
Just like its predecessor, Universal's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is also exceeding expectations at the domestic box office and is now projected to score an outstanding $145.6 million opening weekend.
Thanks to a ginormous $58.7 million Friday and a spectacular A- CinemaScore, Universal's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is now on track for a monstrous $145.6 million+ opening weekend, which is a projection that could get even higher after Saturday's numbers come in.
Early tracking estimated an opening in the $130 million to $140 million range, so a $144 million plus domestic launch is certainly welcome news for the latest entry in the Jurassic Park franchise. The J.A. Bayona-directed film is already a bona fide global blockbuster, having collected over $466 million from 51 international markets, including a whopping $178 million from China. Its current worldwide haul stands at approximately $524.7 million and it should top $600 million by Monday morning.
If the numbers hold, Fallen Kingdom will secure the fourth-largest opening weekend of the year and the largest opening weekend for a non-Disney film in 2018. The film is also already the seventh-highest grossing film of the year worldwide and is on course to becoming the fourth-highest by the end of the weekend.
Meanwhile, Disney/Pixar's Incredibles 2 should finish its second frame with approximately $79 million and will near $350 million domestically by the end of the weekend. Worldwide, the Brad Bird-directed animated feature has earned about $368.5 million. However, while Incredibles 2 remains a strong performer stateside, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is besting the sequel overseas, including in China where Fallen Kingdom earned $8.31 million yesterday - its second Friday - while the Parr family only managed $4.65 million on what was their opening day.

It’s been four years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles.
When the island’s dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who’s still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times.
With all of the wonder, adventure and thrills synonymous with one of the most popular and successful series in cinema history, this all-new motion-picture event sees the return of favorite characters and dinosaurs—along with new breeds more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before.
