Early Estimates of Jurassic World’s Opening – $155 Mil

Can Bryce Dallas Howard do to dinos what Jurassic World is going to do to the box office this weekend?

Jurassic World is poised to smash projections and the June debut record as projections put their opening weekend at $155 million – with $65 million on Friday alone!

Jurassic World might just become the best June debut of all time, beating 2013’s Man of Steel, which brought in $116.6 million. It would also be the year’s second-best opening, behind Disney and Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.3 million).

It’s been over a decade since the last Jurassic movie – and over twenty since the original Jurassic Park stomped into people’s imaginations. Fond memories, Chris Pratt, and the magic of Steven Spielberg – plus the dinosaurs, of course – are forming a perfect box office storm.

Jurassic World – with a T-Rex sized $150 million budget – is playing at 13,551 theaters worldwide — the widest Universal release of all time.
