Jurassic World: Dominion

Those goggle-wearing yellow creatures are indeed rising and expanding their empire, with a record-breaking $129. 2 million four-day debut, the highest Fourth of July box office weekend figures, and toppling the $115.

A new movie is number 1 this week at the box office in France: Lightyear landed, grossing $3,158,778 for the first week. The movie is about the true story of the legendary Space Ranger who has since inspired the famous toy.

In rock’ n roll he was “The King”. In the movie version of his life, Elvis failed to reach number one – or even two – in the countries where he had over 30 number one hits.

Jurassic World: Dominion continues to make money in China, but it fell out of the No. 1 slot this weekend.

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.

Did many moviegoers, especially families, get used to Disney releasing Pixar films on Disney+ that they are skipping watching Lightyear in theaters, preferring to wait until the Toy Story spinoff is available on streaming? That question and others were raised when Lightyear, an origin story for the character Buzz Lightyear, did not live up to two predictions – debut at number one and earn at least $70 million. Instead, Jurassic World Dominion prevailed over Lightyear to stay on top and the new Pixar film earned $55 million in the recent 4-day Juneteenth holiday weekend, which also marked Father’s Day.

Jurassic World: Dominion continues to dominate the Chinese box office in its second week, earning a total of $92. 23 million so far in 10 days, and $23 million over the weekend with 20% of its cinemas still closed for Covid reasons.

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.

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.
