Looks like a lot of people really like dinosaurs.
Jurassic World has proven to be the big summer blockbuster that just keeps getting bigger.
The movie didn’t waste any time at all breaking Universal's all-time "Thursday night preview" over in the US taking in a whopping $18.5 million. That’s unbelievably impressive considering the movie only started showing at 7pm.
According to Forbes, if you take away Thursday’s preview numbers, Jurassic World actually grossed $64.1 million on Friday.
That’s the biggest opening Friday of all time, with Jurassic World even surpassing the "Furious 7" ($52 million) and the two "Avengers" films ($63 million and $57 million respectively).
Jurassic World is now expected to rake in over $200 million from its first weekend in the States, which is sure to get movie executives excited as it cost $150 million to produce.
The movie is also doing very well overseas with Business Insider reporting that Jurassic World grossed “another $60 million across 66 territories, which is a record number.”
