Jurassic World pulls in $16m to be the biggest box office opening of 2015
Jurassic World stormed the Australian box office in its opening weekend, taking in $16.063m across 605 screens, making it not only the biggest opening of 2015 but the third highest debut of all time.
The reboot of the dinosaurs series, starring Chris Pratt, posted the largest weekend in history globally with a total box office of $US511.8m, eclipsing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part Two and becoming the first film to ever cross the $US500m mark in one weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In Australia its closet rival Entourage could not compete, pulling in $1.255m across 209 screens. Since premiering on June 4 the movie has made $5.903m at the local box office.
Pretty sure Jurassic world is a sequel, not a reboot.
Worst Jurassic movie ever, a complete fail! The story line with the kids ridiculous, the characters unbelievable (on all accounts), and lacked a real focus and any real movie star to be intrigued by. Shame as those dinosaurs were best feature.
