Jurassic World Off To Massive Start In Thursday Night Screenings

The park is open and boy howdy is it successful. Jurassic World made $18.5 million last night in Thursday screenings, setting the stage for a massive debut in its opening weekend. Man of Steels $116 million opening weekend will be easily be dethroned by Chris Pratt and his raptor squad at the biggest June opening weekend come this Sunday, but how much cash is this one gonna pull in for the overall frame?


If this one played like Avengers: Age of Ultron, it'd make $128 million for the weekend. It's likely, just because Jurassic World made $9 million less than that Marvel movie, it'll be a touch less frontloaded.  I'll say that translates to a $133 million opening weekend, which is the kind of immense gross that'll make everyone at Universal Pictures very happy. It's also looking to pull in huge numbers overseas this weekend, meaning, no matter where you are in the world, audiences are sparing no expense when it comes to seeing Jurassic World.
