"Jurassic World" continues to over-perform at the box office.

The film opened Thursday at 7 p.m. and broke Universal's all-time "Thursday night preview" debut record with $18.5 million. 

Friday's numbers are in and, combined with Thursday's grosses, "Jurassic World" nabbed a gargantuan $82.3 million opening day.

That number is the third-biggest debut of all time behind "Avengers: Age of Ultron" ($84 million) and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" ($91 million).

Forbes' Scott Mendelson reports that if you take away the late-night Thursday numbers, the film actually grossed $64.1 million on Friday alone, which is the biggest "pure" opening day of all time, surpassing the recent "Furious 7" ($52 million) and both "Avengers" films ($63 million and $57 million respectively). 

"Jurassic World" is now on track to have one of the, if not the, biggest opening weekends of all time and could gross over $200 million domestically. Early tracking had the film earning about $125 million this weekend.

Don't think the record will last long, but very impressive

I guess people really like lizards...

I do too.

Awesome!

hope it won't take too long before we get a sequel

Star Wars is going to be massive if it isn't a Jar-Jar sized let down.

Is the movie any good?

So it's not the biggest friday?

Still, that's deserved imo, saw it tonight, entertaining movie, not far behind the first one for me.

Consensus seems to be that while it's not as good as the 1993 original, it's a decent thrill ride and perhaps better than the other two (crappy?) JP sequels. 

Nice

It's good in the same way Transformer movies are good. Mindless fun action with cool things having cool fights.

Good to see you don't have to be a cliche superhero movie to do good at the box office these days.
