Forums - Movies & TV - Jurassic World records biggest Friday in box office history

Turns out it grossed $524 million worldwide, which is not only the biggest weekend opening of all time, but it's the only movie ever to pass $500 million on an opening weekend. Very well deserved. Amazing movie.

Does anybody recommend it ?

I need a good movie to watch with a girl from College on sunday.

 Yes. It's a film made for fans of the original, so you're one, then this movie is amazing. There's some annoying dialogue here and there, but the acting is superb, special effects top notch, and the last 20 minutes will give you goosebumps.

Why doesn't the op think this record will last long?

It has already nearly doubled JP3! Nothing huge is coming either so It should have a strong hold. Plus it seems good word of mouth could help.

 It's the biggest opening in history, and the general concensus has been pretty much all positive, with the usual naysayers here and there. For one, the movie is going to surpass both The Lost World and the original, easily. Second, I can see this finishing off with closer to $2 billion in total, maybe more seeing how it's shattered every forcast.

I wouldn't say it's "amazing", but it's solid. The thing is gets correct is it tries to be a direct sequel to the first Jurassic Park, which is something the other JP sequels didn't really understand.



They already announced two more Jurassic Park movies. I'm thinking even if it would have made just over half as much they would have announced at least one sequel already.

Let's see Jurassic World now holds the record for best opening weekend, opening weekend world wide, opening weekend foreign. Highest domestic three day total, four day total, five day total and it already has made enough money for the highest six day total. Its also the fastest to $100 through $250 million domestically. With Inside Out opening this weekend I doubt it will get the highest second weekend but overall still pretty impressive numbers so far.

They're predicting to get the highest second weekend and the fastest to 400m. It will most likely reach 500m++ next weekend as well. I think there are many who are watching both Inside Out and Jurassic World at the same time with the kids mainly going to IO and the teens to adults going for Jworld.  IO might also bore some children who aren't into too much talking and drama which IO is heavily reliant on(It was brilliant and got me teary-eyed in some scenes but I felt it wasn't meant to be fun.) 



It was an really great movie. Glad it held up to its legacy. So worth my 3D $$$.

Well once Monday's domestic numbers come in it will be the fastest to $400 million with Monday's numbers it will also be over one billion world wide and the fastest to one billion world wide.  I'm thinking Minions will probably do better at the box office then Inside Out even though Inside Out is a much better movie.
