Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom opens to $150 million domestically, passes $700 million worldwide

June 24, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Having started its international roll out earlier this month, Universal Pictures’ Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom finally made its way to North America this weekend, with the latest instalment in the Jurassic Park franchise enjoying a domestic opening haul of $150 million.

This number is down from the $204.6 million haul of its 2015 predecessor, but its certainly a strong debut, particularly as it faced competition from Disney-Pixar’s Incredibles 2, which grossed $80 million in its second weekend.

The J.A. Bayona-helmed Fallen Kingdom is also enjoying huge success in the international markets, where it has already earned $561.5 million, for a global total of $711.5 million and counting.

It has already surpassed Jurassic Park III ($368.8 million) and The Lost World: Jurassic Park ($618.6 million) and at this rate, it seems likely that the film will go on to better the original Jurassic Park ($983.8) to become the second film in the series to reach $1 billion after Jurassic World ($1.672 billion).

It’s been four years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles.

When the island’s dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who’s still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times.

With all of the wonder, adventure and thrills synonymous with one of the most popular and successful series in cinema history, this all-new motion-picture event sees the return of favorite characters and dinosaurs—along with new breeds more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before. Welcome to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sees J.A. Bayona directing a cast that includes franchise veterans Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong and Jeff Goldblum alongside newcomers Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger), Rafe Spall (Black Mirror), Justice Smith (The Get Down), Ted Levine (Silence of the Lambs), James Cromwell (The Young Pope), Daniella Pineda (The Detour) and Geraldine Chaplin (A Monster Calls).
