Box Office

A German comedy interrupted the top three last weekend with a more than impressive debut in third place, while the number one and two showed staying power. Jurassic World: Ein Neues Zeitalter (Jurassic World: Dominion) stayed where it debuted last week – firmly planted on top of the charts with enough dinosaur fighting power to keep the number two at bay.

In France, Jurassic World: Dominion is the new number 1 at the box office. The movie directed by Colin Trevorrow with Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Laura Dern, takes place four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar when dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world.

Just like last week, at the top of the Italian box office chart are the two biggest blockbusters currently in theaters, Jurassic World: Dominion and Top Gun: Maverick, both sequels and both linked to two cult franchises from the 1990s and 1980s. In its second weekend in Italian theaters, the sixth installment of the dinosaur saga has collected €2.

The dinosaurs, especially the Giganotosaurus, stomped the box office. Proving that the franchise is not at all extinct, Jurassic World Dominion made a gigantic North American debut with $143.

Last weekend, T-Rexes were tall enough to wipe the F-18s from the skies, as the new Jurassic film made sure that Top Gun is not quite on top anymore. Jurassic World: Ein Neues Zeitalter (Jurassic World: Dominion) made an impressive debut in both, Austria and Germany, surpassing Top Gun: Maverick and putting the Tom Cruise starrer in second place.

The big release this weekend in China is Universal’s Jurassic World: Dominion which opened to $14. 9 million on Friday, June 10 on 60,000 screens -- only about 75% of Chinese cinemas.

Top Gun: Maverick stays number 1 in France. Directed by Joseph Kosinski with Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, and Jennifer Connelly, this sequel is about Pete “Maverick” Mitchell who continues to push his limits as a test pilot and in charge of training a detachment of young graduates from the Top Gun school for a special mission that no pilot would have ever imagined.

Blockbusters, blockbusters, blockbusters. And franchises too.

A long weekend – Monday was a holiday in some of the German-speaking countries – and beautiful weather contributed to barely any change in the charts. Top Gun: Maverick ruled the cinematic skies again in its second week.

Top Gun: Maverick flew past $500 million globally. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hit $900 million worldwide.
