After a lengthy wait,
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom finally makes its U.S. debut tonight and it should be a good weekend for everyone involved as box office pundits are projecting a monstrous $130 million to $140 million opening weekend.
While the launch will unsurprisingly be a step down from its predecessor's record-smashing debut in 2015, its domestic launch should be more than enough to rocket the J.A. Bayona-directed blockbuster past the $500 million mark worldwide, possibly $600 million once the international numbers come in. The sequel has earned approximately $372.1 million from international markets, including a stellar $113.6 million from China just last weekend. With the U.S. release date here,
Fallen Kingdom only has its Japan opening on July 13 left on its theatrical release schedule.

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.
