Jurassic World Just Went on a $205M Rampage

Jurassic World may be no Park, but the sequel just stormed its way to the biggest opening of the year and the second biggest of all time: And as USA Today reports, the $204.6 million (barely short of The Avengers' $207.4 million) was something of a sneak attack, as the film was just last week predicted to ring in just north of $150 million. "There are just some movies that have a life of their own and take off in a way that is somewhat unprecedented," says an analyst. "Nobody saw this coming." Adding in global numbers, the film pulled in $511.8 million—the first time a movie has broken the half-billion mark in its debut, notes USA Today. The competition was not fierce, with Spy coming in at No. 2 with $16 million; San Andreas with $11 million; Insidious: Chapter 3 with $7.3 million; and Pitch Perfect 2 with $6 million.
