Patrick Frater Asia Bureau ChiefA powerfully impressive opening by “Jurassic World Dominion” and a partial reopening of cinemas gave China its biggest box office weekend in more than three months. The dinosaur franchise movie earned $53 million (RMB355 million) in three days in China, according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway. The film chewed off a massive 88% share of the total weekend market.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterUniversal’s dino-sized “Jurassic” franchise is showing no signs of extinction at the box office.“Jurassic World Dominion,” the sixth installment in the long-running series, pulled in a monster $176 million from 72 international markets over the weekend, bringing its overseas total to $245 million. Combined with its $143 million domestic debut, the film stands at a robust $389 million and will imminently cross the $400 million mark.Directed by Colin Trevorrow and starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt, “Dominion” opened in 57 new foreign markets this weekend, including China, the United Kingdom and France.China, which has been increasingly hostile to Hollywood films, embraced the film, where it opened in first place with $52.5 million.

Refresh for latest…: Big action at the global and international box office this weekend as Universal/Amblin Entertainment’s Jurassic World Dominion put its dino-print into an additional 52 overseas markets, and along with last weekend’s holdovers, grossed an estimated $177M to lift the offshore cume to $245.8M through Sunday. With the threequel’s stomping domestic bow, the global tally has reached a toothy $389.1M.

That result is third behind only “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” on the list of the top COVID-era domestic openings and is also just a few million short of the $148 million opening of “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” in 2018. Combined with $177 million grossed from 72 overseas markets, “Jurassic World: Dominion” has grossed $320 million worldwide this weekend and $389 million to date, putting it well on track to join the other “Jurassic World” films on the list of $1 billion global grossers.

While that total is a few steps below the $148 million earned four years ago by “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” it has topped “The Batman” for the third highest domestic opening of the COVID era and could still crack $150 million if Saturday matinee turnout exceeds expectations. “Dominion” is also sharing another trait with its “Jurassic World” predecessors: it is proving to be critic-proof.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaUniversal’s “Jurassic World Dominion” continues to cast a shadow over the worldwide box office.The film opens in 57 new markets this weekend, including China, where it’s grossed $15.3 million.

On this episode of the Deep Focus podcast, host and Playlist Editor-In-Chief Rodrigo Perez talks to writer/director Colin Trevorrow & writer Emily Carmichael (“Pacific Rim: Uprising”) about “Jurassic World: Dominion,” which is the sixth and potentially final chapter in the dino-action series that began with Steven Spielberg’s beloved, “Jurassic Park.” “Jurassic World: Dominion” picks up four years after the events of “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” in which Isla Nublar was destroyed in a volcanic explosion.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaUniversal’s “Jurassic World Dominion” roared to $18 million in Thursday previews.The sixth film in the dino-saga is expected to loom large at the domestic box office this weekend, but it could be blistered by bad reviews and the continued popularity of “Top Gun: Maverick,” which is still soaring in its third week of release. “Jurassic World Dominion” is expected to generate $125 million in stateside ticket sales from 4,600 theaters across North America.Of course, “Jurassic World Dominion” enters the fray with an impressive box office legacy to live up to in terms of its debut.

It’s been nearly 30 years since a rampaging T-Rex shut down Jurassic Park, and in Jurassic World Dominion (★★☆☆☆), the latest sequel in the rebooted franchise, apparently that same T-Rex is still raising hell. But the mighty Tyrannosaurus is no longer confined to the world’s most uninsurable theme park. At the conclusion of the previous film, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, dozens of dinosaurs were set loose on the U.S.
