'Jurassic World' Smashes Opening Weekend Sales

The new "Jurassic World" film starring Chris Pratt smashed the opening weekend of June 14, 2015, with record breaking sales.

"Universal's 'Jurassic World' proves that dinosaurs still rule the earth with a mind-blowing worldwide weekend gross of $511.8 million which is a combined tally of $307.2 million in 66 international territories & $204.6 million in North America," said Rentrak's Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
