Audiences flocked to see the latest dinosaur extravaganza, which elevated Jurassic World: Dominion, the third and “last” (yes, right) Jurassic World franchise film and the fifth sequel to Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster, Jurassic Park, for an impressive $ 143. million nationally during its first three days of release, by deadline. Experts originally set the Colin Trevorrow epic to open at around $ 124 million, but viewers were clearly eager to see their favorite prehistoric beasts on the big screen once again.
In terms of openings, Dominion falls well below the 2015 Jurassic World, which surprised everyone when it amassed $ 208 million during its debut weekend, and has a 3% discount from Fallen Kingdom, which grossed $ 148 million in June 2018. The grand opening proves it. this franchise is critically acclaimed (only 30% of critics gave the film a positive review, with our own Jonathan Sim calling it “a confusing final entry” in his review) and is far from to have become extinct.
Worldwide, Dominion dominated with a massive $ 176 million, bringing its global total to $ 389 million. Imax accounted for $ 25 million of this global count, including $ 6.3 million from China. Now we have to see if word of mouth (the audience who gave the dino peak with A-CinemaScore) can push Dominion to more heights in the coming weeks.
Elsewhere, the success of the Tom Cruise Top Gun: Maverick sequel faced competition with aplomb, amassing another $ 50 million (only 44%) to raise its national total to $ 393 million. Worldwide, the action movie has amassed an incredible $ 747 million after just three weeks of release, despite losing many of its Imax screens to dinosaurs. Eventually, Maverick would have to overcome Mission: Impossible – Fallout to become Cruise’s highest overall revenue. Now the question is whether or not it can surpass the $ 1 billion mark. Notably, the original Top Gun earned $ 357.1 million in 1986, which rises to $ 924 million when adjusted for inflation.
