Jurassic World Still Rains Cash, While Inside Out Debuts Strong

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)

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.

Spy Wins the Box Office, San Andreas Crashes

spy-poster-2015-hd-wallpaperSpy won the weekend box-office, earning an estimated $30 million. That knocked down last weekend’s winner San Andreas to second place earning an estimated $26.4 million.

Other films opening this week Insidious Chapter 3, and Entourage opened in third and fourth respectively. Insidious Chapter 3 earned $23 million. Entourage earned $10.4 million. Entourage did have a good worth of mouth, so maybe the film will do well in the long run.

Mad Max: Fury Road dropped to fifth earning $7.97 million and bringing its worldwide total to $307.8 million.

Avengers: Age of Ultron earned $6.2 million bringing its global total to $1.35 billion. It’s still in second so far this year behind Furious 7. Age of Ultron is in fifth all time for earnings and will open in Japan on July 4th. That might put it over Furious 7.

This coming weekend Jurassic World opens, and is guaranteed to be in first.
