Jurassic World Still Rains Cash, While Inside Out Debuts Strong

Posted on by

jurassic_worldJurassic World retained the top spot at the domestic earning an estimated $102 million. That’s only a 51% decline from its first weekend, which is much less than expected. That’s the second best second weekend earnings ever. The film has earned $398.2 million at the domestic box office. Internationally the film has brought in $583.1 million bringing its total worldwide to $981.3 million. World will cross the billion mark soon, making it the quickest a movie has gotten to that mark. The current record holder Furious 7 took 17 days and World will do it in 11 or 12. The film still hasn’t opened in Japan.

insideout1Not to be outdone though, Inside Out debuted with an impressive $91.1 million. That’s actually the best debut ever for an original property. The film earned $41 million internationally giving it a total of $132 million for its first weekend. It’s only opened in 42% of the global markets. The film’s domestic opening is the second best ever opening weekend for a Pixar film.

In more comic related film earnings, Avengers: Age of Ultron continued to bring in the dollars adding an estimated $2.7 million at the domestic box office. The film has earned $1.37 billion so far.

When it comes to the 2015 top grosses, Age of Ultron still is on top as far as domestic earnings. Jurassic World will likely pass it. Worldwide, Furious 7 is still on top with Age of Ultron in second and Jurassic World has quite a bit to go, but is currently in third.

Jurassic World Dominates the World (Updated)

Posted on by

jurassic_worldIt’s not a shock that Jurassic World won the weekend box-office, but by how much, and how much it earned worldwide is. Domestically, the film earned an estimated $204.6 million. That’s just shy of the record set by Marvel’s The Avengers which earned $207.4 million. Worldwide, the film earned $511.8 million, that means the foreign box-office estimated earning was $307.2 million. The film earned double the estimates put out by its distributor Universal.

The film did break some records. It earned an average $47.8K per theater, which is the best top weekend average. It had the highest global debut in history. It is the first film to ever earn over $500 million in one weekend. The film also has the best single day Saturday Gross, the highest opening weekend for June, the fastest to $100 million and $150 million. The film was split 52% male and 48% female, with 39% under the age 25 with 61% 25 and over. 50% of the international box-office came from 3D. How this plays out for the rest of the summer will be interesting.

In other earning news, Mad Max: Fury Road came in seventh adding $4.13 million domestically to bring its worldwide earnings to $322.7 million. Avengers: Age of Ultron added $3.6 million to bring its worldwide earnings to $1.354 billion. Age of Ultron opens in Japan on July 4th, so there’s still some foreign box-office earnings to go for the film. Domestically, Avengers: Age of Ultron sits at top of the grosses for the year so far earning $444.7 million with Furious 7 in second at $350.8 million and Jurassic World in third with $204.6 million. Worldwide things are a bit different. Furious 7 sits at the top of the grosses with $1.51 billion, Age of Ultron is second with $1.35 billion. Jurassic World currently sits in fifth, but it’ll likely be in third by week’s end the latest.

Update: The earning estimates have been revised, and it is now being reported that Jurassic World earned $208.8 million its opening weekend. That makes it the top debut ever both domestically and worldwide. Its average per theater was actually $48,855 and its worldwide earning is $524.1 million having earned $315.3 million in foreign markets. That foreign market earning is also a record besting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 which earned $314 million.

Graphic Policy Radio talks Age of Ultron with Guest Sarah Jaffe LIVE this Monday

Posted on by

GP Radio pic MondayThis Monday is a brand new episode of Graphic Policy Radio, and we’re going to the movies again. The show airs LIVE this Monday at 10pm ET.

Marvel‘s Avengers: Age of Ultron has already proven itself to be one of the biggest films of the year. The film has already earned $1.2 billion globally. But popularity doesn’t necessarily mean the film has been universally praised. The movie has come under fire for its portrayal of women, the absence of women in tie-in products, and for other issues with the story itself. Joining us for the conversation is Sarah Jaffe.

Sarah Jaffe is a reporting fellow at the Nation Institute and a giant nerd who once upon a time wrote about comics more than she wrote about politics, believe it or not, and she has lots of feelings about superhero movies AND their politics. Follow her on Twitter https://twitter.com/sarahljaffe

So listen in, and join us in the conversation. Call in with your thoughts at (619) 768-2952, or Tweet them to us @graphicpolicy.

Listen in live this Monday at 10pm ET.
