This weekend the sixth installment in the Jurassic Park series was able to take over that top spot. Jurassic World: Dominion was able to have a healthy opening weekend despite higher gas prices and possibly other financial issues looming around us.
Jurassic World Dominion Rushing Out the Gate
Jurassic World: Dominion opened up this Summer with $143 million at the domestic box office. It seems that this movie could have done better in those regular times we used to live in. Now though this is a really great opening weekend. This was the film was able to gross $245 million in the foreign market, bringing the worldwide total to $389 million. This film would easily cross over that $500 million mark next weekend. Expect the critics to give this movie a low score. Right now on Rotten Tomatoes, it sits at 30%.
Top Gun: Maverick was able to add another $50 million this weekend to give it a domestic total of $393 million. At this moment this film sits at $747 million at the worldwide box office. Marvel’s second Doctor Strange is sitting at $930 million worldwide. If it had been able to open in a few more markets it would have hit that billion mark. I don’t see this as a big loss for the studio. The Bobs Burgers The Movie was able to gross $2.3 million it now sits at $28 million worldwide.
