UPDATE: JURASSIC WORLD Beats AVENGERS 2 With 2nd Biggest Domestic Bow Ever
Jurassic World really is a monster! Today marks the third day of its release, and the dino-sequel has already amassed a whopping $204.6M, setting a record as the second biggest domestic box office opening of all time. It's beaten Age Of Ultron, but the first Avengers is still #1... for now!
It seems people do still care about dinosaurs after all. Universal's Jurassic World has taken a bite out of its competition and raked in a massive $204.6 million on its first weekend of release stateside. This puts it ahead of Marvel's Avengers: Age Of Ultron and sets a record as the second biggest domestic opening in history behind The Avengers, which took in $207.4M back in May 2012.
But, many analysts believe that when the dust settles and Sunday's earning are totalled, Colin Trevorrow's exciting dino-disaster flick could knock Earth's Mightiest Heroes off the top spot and claim the title of reigning all-time U.S. opener. Pretty impressive for a very late instalment in a franchise many believed had lost its teeth!
We'll keep you posted on how Jurassic World does today, and whether it manages to bring down the mighty Avengers or not.
UPDATE: With around $307.2M accumulated overseas, and that $204.6M domestic take, the global opening is $511.8M — the first time a film has ever grossed more than $500M in one weekend.

Never doubt Tom Cruise, as the global megastar has finally joined the billion-dollar club with his latest blockbsuter Top Gun: Maverick! It's now only the second post-pandemic film to cross the milestone.
With Jurassic World: Dominion still tearing up the box office, DreamWorks Animation and Netflix have released the official trailer for the fifth and final season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous!
Dinosaurs still rule the box office, as it's being reported that Jurassic World: Dominion will repeat as the box office champ, fending off the Disney/Pixar newcomer Lightyear, which is underperforming.
While Jurassic World: Dominion already runs 146 minutes, it looks like even more dinosaur action could be on its way as a new Blu-ray listing has seemingly confirmed the existence of an extended cut.
MCU movies have left us all feeling like we now need to wait through the credits of new blockbuster releases in order to see if there's a little something extra, but what about Jurassic World Dominion?
