Jurassic World marks yet another massive hit starring Chris Pratt. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy turned Pratt into a star, but Jurassic World should comment him the title. Jurassic World raked in a record $511.8 million globally, making it the first to ever break half a billion dollars over its opening weekend. That number comes from $204.6 million domestically, just shy of The Avengers' record $207.4 million weekend haul in 202 (as I was writing this the weekend wasn't over and Jurassic World could have overtaken The Avengers' before the weekend was over). The film earned $307.2 million abroad, just a bit short of the international weekend record held by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($314 million). The international figure for Jurassic World includes $100.8 million from China alone.
Everyone seems to love Jurassic Park (I was always a fan of the original), so it's not a huge surprise that Jurassic World did so well, but I tend to think that Chris Pratt and all his sexiness was a major reason for the movie’s success. I didn't get to see it this weekend, but maybe I'll get a chance in the next weeks or so.
