BOX OFFICE: JURASSIC WORLD Topples AVENGERS For All-Time Record Opening

It always looked likely to happen, but now it's official: Universal's Jurassic World is now the new king of the domestic box office, setting a record for the biggest opening weekend of all time with a predicted $209 million. This just beats the previous $207.4M record held by Marvel's The Avengers...

It's a good day to be a dinosaur. Yesterday we reported that Jurassic World had taken a bite out of its competition and raked in a massive $204.6 million on its first weekend of release stateside, putting it ahead of Marvel's Avengers: Age Of Ultron and setting a record as the second biggest domestic opening in history behind The Avengers, which took in $207.4M back in May 2012.

Well, it's just surpassed it.

The latest numbers indicate that the Colin Trevorrow directed sequel raked in a whopping $209 million (though some are putting it slightly lower) over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, giving it the biggest domestic opening weekend of all time. Add to that the over $307.2M accumulated overseas, and Jurassic World has smashed another record as the only movie in history to cross $500 million in one weekend. If the film continues that box office dominance, it'll be hard to imagine anything taking its crown any time soon... but then, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be with us in December!

Do you think Jurassic World deserves this type of success? Sound off below.

This shows that nostalgia is one hell of a drug. Stars Wars 7 will do similar numbers and then some.

I just hope the Warriors can finish off the Cavs tomorrow so the fans in Cleveland can witness the loss on their home court.

Cavs aren't losing Game 6 considering Curry was in the hospital last night.

I already knew, said this yesterday...

Universal had underestimated their estimates $204 million to disclose the record just today with the current numbers.

Star Wars 7 will not hit it, these records happen when we least expect it ...

Who hoped Jurassic World would beat that record? anyone!

And Star Wars 7 debut in December, which makes it even harder.

@sKeemAn

I always told myself I wouldn't be fully upset if the Warriors won since I've been a big Curry fan since he was in college where I even saw him play in college but only if it was 6 or 7 games because everyone kept saying the Cavs would get swept.

Considering the Cavs aren't 100% with LeBron who got a cut in his head, Love who got hurt in the first round, Varejao who was hurt in the season, Kyrie who got knocked out in Game 1, and Shumpert who got hurt in I believe Game 3 that the odds would be against the Cavs.

All I know is if LeBron takes the Warriors to 7 games and loses the series, it gives me more hope for the Cavs future to think how good we actually are with Love and Kyrie playing with this team considering the Warriors were the best team in the NBA and they went 7 games with a Cavs team without 2 of it's best 3 players.

Still, hope the Cavs win the series but always knew when Kyrie got hurt that it wouldn't be easy for the Cavs winning the Finals but it would be legendary if they did.
