UPDATE: āJurassic Worldā is leaving a major footprint on the domestic box office. Universal reports the āJurassic Parkā sequel is on track for $70 million on Friday and a massive opening weekend of $162 million, according to evening estimates. Early estimates had pegged the film at $155 million.
If projections hold, āJurassic Worldā will see the best June debut of all time, outmuscling āMan of Steel,ā which reeled in $116.6 million in 2013. The movie would also see the yearās second-best opening, behind Disney and Marvelās āAvengers: Age of Ultronā ($191.3 million).
The fourth installment would be the most successful of the dino franchise. It comes over a decade after āJurassic Park IIIā hit theaters and 22 years after Steven Spielbergās original āJurassic Parkā launched.
The $70 million-plus Friday earnings include $18.5 million from Thursday night showings. The āJurassic Worldā previews outpaced āFurious 7ā³ ($15.8 million) as the biggest latenight showing ever for the studio. The monster pic also looks to trample āFurious 7āsā title as Universalās highest-grossing film.
