I don't think Jurassic World will outgross the first Avengers domestic even though it's tracking $25M ahead of it.

It's very, very difficult to accurately predict if it can outgross the first Avengers or not, even after 10 days since its release. On paper, a movie with JW's audience would have better legs than a superhero movie, but both of them are box office anomalies, performing at a scale we're not used to, hence the lack of assurance given by its gross at this moment. All we can do is wait.

P.S: With actuals closing in, it would seem JW is actually at least $30M ahead of the first Avengers at the same point in time, shattering the second week-end record with $107M.

Where are you getting the 107 million second weekend figure?  I just checked Box Office Mojo and it said 102. 

And 4 million difference is not 'shattering' anything :P 

The one in Box office mojo is the early estimate, not the actual. Remember JW's first weekend? The early estimate was at 204m but actuals was actually 208.8m. Go visit Deadline.com for the most up to date numbers for both domestic and international box office gross.
