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 

I know, it's the hype speaking.

And that figure is from unofficial sources, one of them being rth, the Box Office God on forums.
