Jurassic World stomped on the competition again.
The fourth installment in the Jurassic Park franchise of creature features, having cleared the $200-million mark and had the second-biggest weekend opening in movie history last weekend, earned an estimated $102-million for another first-place finish at the box office on its second weekend of release.
By tomorrow, it will be the fastest movie ever to pass the $400-million mark.
And yet the runner-up didn't exactly lay an egg, and would have taken the crown on almost any other weekend. The animated comedy, Inside Out, was a spectacular second-place finisher, taking in $91-million on its debut weekend.
In third and fourth were the holdovers, Spy and San Andreas, with $10-million and $8-million, respectively.
And fifth place went to the new nineties urban comedy, Dope, with $6-million.
Overall, industry-wide totals were high enough to place this among the top ten box office weekends in movie history.
