Box-Office: Jurassic World Closes In On $1 Billion Faster Than Any Other Movie, Posts 2nd Highest 2nd Weekend Gross

In case you were living under a rock last weekend, “Jurassic World” crushed it at the box office, opening with a monster $208 million, the highest grossing domestic weekend debut ever, and knocking Marvel’s “The Avengers” down to the number two position. And Universal’s dinosaur film continues to smash records. On Friday it became the fastest domestic film to reach $300 million (less than a week, and it will soon do the same for the $400M mark), and this weekend, the blockbuster grossed another $102 million. This puts it just about a million shy from “The Avengers,” which still holds the record for highest grossing second weekend ever. Suffice it to say, “Jurassic World” is gargantuan at the box office and continues blanket the earth like a huge rolling prehistoric volcano cloud.
