Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom earns $10.272m in first weekend box office outing, a 36% fall on first film
The second movie in the reinvigorated Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, has brought in $10.272 million on its first weekend at the box office.
The film premiered on Thursday and has earned a total of $11.034m since its release across 734 screens.
The first Jurassic World film – released in 2015 as an extension of the Jurassic Park franchise which had finished with Jurassic Park 3 in 2001 – had the sixth-highest grossing opening weekend of all time in Australia, according to the Motion Picture Distributors Association of Australia. Jurassic World sits behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Avengers: Infinity War, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, after earning $16.070m on its opening weekend.
2015’s Jurassic World is also the seventh top-grossing film of all time in Australia with $52.946m, behind Avatar ($115.633m), Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($94.034m), Avengers: Infinity War ($61.652m), Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($58.052m), Titanic ($57.661m) and The Avengers ($53.250m).
Last weekend’s box office leader, Incredibles 2, earned a further $6.542m at this weekend’s box office after pulling in $10.615m on its debut weekend. Overall, the film has now earned $19.766m – gradually catching up to the total box office takings for the first film, which generated US$20.930m in 2004 in Australia.
The average ticket price for an Australian cinema ticket in 2004, however, was $9.84, according to Screen Australia. The latest data for 2017 shows average ticket prices have climbed to $14.17.
Ocean’s 8 had its third outing at this weekend’s box office, earning an extra $1.548m across 307 screens. Its total now sits at $13.285m.

$10m seems pretty good for an opening weekend. Was the first one in school holidays? Regardless it’s still a good number

We’ve fixed the missing ‘m’ and thank you for your sharp eyes, Another Agency
The $14 as the average ticket price in Australia is a Screen Australia figure.
Screen Australia says: “Prices are for major and independent cinemas (including IMAX) in city and suburban areas of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in current dollars (i.e. not adjusted for inflation).”
It cites the top price for movie tickets in 2017 as $27.00.

If you find somewhere selling $14 tickets (and not just on a Tuesday!), please do let me know.

Legend! I’m not sure I can justify flying to Brisbane for a cheaper movie ticket, but next time I’m there, they will be the proud recipients of my $8.50.
RussVB, you are, very, very correct. It seems Paul jumped the gun a little here (and I dread the day average movie tickets are $14.17m). The misplaced, and recently added, ‘m’ has been removed.
As I mentioned earlier, the $14 as the average ticket price in Australia is a Screen Australia figure.
$14.17m was a horrific and accidental invention by Mumbrella.
Goodness me, I’m off to the movies.

Well hasn’t this article turned into a lot of fun for me?
Thank you for flagging my omission of the crucial ‘US’. I have added it in.
FYI, Screen Australia says the film earned $23.44m in 2004, following a 26 December release date, and $16.929m in 2005.
If I’ve made another mistake, please let me know – but I’ve provided the link to the Screen Australia figures for verification just in case.
Thanks,

Hey Vivienne,
Well as long as you’re having fun…
The good news — You’re right, that is indeed what the Screen Australia archive says. Also they’re usually reliable.
The less-good news — That 2004 list includes some howlers.
Incredibles didn’t earn 23.4m in the last 6 days of 2004.
Meet The Fockers has an equally wrong 27.5m for the same period.
In reality, Incredibles running total as at Sunday Jan 2, 2005 was 12,071,041 as extracted from the archive at http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/home/boxoffice.asp .
From the same source, Incredibles last chart appearance on the Week, February 17 – 23, 2005 has Total $ 26,603,207
