This won’t come as much of a surprise given that it ended its second weekend yesterday with $981 million in the bank, but Jurassic World has crossed the $1 billion mark today.
The Colin Trevorrow-directed sequel becomes the fastest movie to reach that milestone, doing so in just 13 days of release around the globe, and shattering the previous record of 17 days set by Fast & Furious 7 earlier this year.
Not a bad first half of 2015 for Universal Pictures…
Jurassic World is the twenty-second movie ever to hit $1 billion worldwide, and is currently the third biggest film of the year behind Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.369 billion) and Furious 7 ($1.511 billion). It looks set to topple both of those in the coming weeks to become the highest earner of 2015 to date, although Star Wars: The Force Awakens will likely have something to say about that when it arrives in December.
