#BOXOFFICE: “JURASSIC WORLD” HAS A MONSTROUS DEBUT

Just wow!  JURASSIC WORLD blew away the competition this weekend with a stunning $200-million opening for Universal Pictures.  Opening in 3,274 theatres, the Blockbuster bests its three Predecessors in the beloved Franchise in terms of opening.  By comparison Jurassic Park 3 managed to make $181 million in its lifetime at the Box Office in 2001.  This latest Installment eclipsed that Film already in its opening weekend. Audiences gave it a firm A at CinemaScore, although Critics were a bit shakier on it with a 70% on the Tomatometer.

SPY after a strong debut last weekend for 20th Century Fox, slips to second this week with $15 million.  In its run so far domestically it has made $56 million.

SAN ANDREAS lands in third in its third week out with $10 million for Warner Bros.  It has grossed $118 million thus far.

INSIDIOUS 3 is in fourth in its second week out with $8 million for Focus Features/eOne Films.

PITCH PERFECT 2 is in fifth with $5.7 million for Universal Pictures, tallying $170 million in five weeks.

LOVE & MERCY plays in only 572 theatres but rounds-out the Top Ten with $1.5 million for Roadside Attractions/eOne Films.
