“Dominion” became the eighth Hollywood film of the COVID era to pass $500 million worldwide on Friday and is well on pace alongside Paramount/Skydance’s “Top Gun: Maverick” to reach the $1 billion mark. The $58 million second weekend domestic total is a touch below the $60 million earned by “Jurassic World; Fallen Kingdom” in 2018, but with Monday being a federal holiday in observance of Juneteenth, Universal is estimating a $9.4 million Monday total to give the film a $68 million 4-day weekend.
“Lightyear,” meanwhile, is opening well short of box office projections, which had pegged the film to top the $72 million opening of “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” to score the best family film opening of the year. Instead, the film is opening below “Dominion” with just $51 million domestic and $85.6 milliion worldwide.While that is enough to put “Lightyear” above “The Bad Guys” and “The Bob’s Burgers Movie” and give it the highest animated opening of 2022, the “Toy Story” spinoff is failing to top even the $53 million opening of “Cars 3” in 2017.
To find a lower opening for a summer Pixar release, one must go all the way back to June 2007 with the $47 million launch of “Ratatouille.” This sluggish start comes in spite of the fact that “Lightyear” has earned slightly stronger reception than “Jurassic World: Dominion,” with an A- on CinemaScore and Rotten Tomatoes scores of 77% critics and 86% audience. On Comscore/Screen Engine’s Postrak, “Lightyear” got an 85% positive rating compared to 73% for “Dominion.”“Lightyear” will have little time to take that strong word-of-mouth and salvage it into box office legs as Universal will be releasing its summer animated film “Minions: The Rise of Gru” on July 1.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterTo infinity and beyond? Not exactly…“Lightyear,” a spinoff story set in Pixar’s “Toy Story” universe, fell short of that boundless milestone in its box office debut, collecting a lackluster $51 million from 4,255 North American theaters. Family audiences, the movie’s prime demographic, have been largely absent since COVID.
Pre-release projections for the “Toy Story” spinoff were expected to be at least $75 million with many analysts expecting a start in the $80 million range. That would have put “Lightyear” in the neighborhood of past Pixar films “Monsters University” and “Inside Out” and would have beaten the $72 million opening of spring family title “Sonic the Hedgehog 2.” Instead, it is opening around the $53 million start posted by “Cars 3” in 2017.While “Lightyear” was the top grosser on Friday with $20.3 million from 4,255 screens — including $5.2 million from Thursday previews — industry estimates now have “Jurassic World: Dominion” beating “Lightyear” with a second weekend total of $57 million, a result that would give the dinosaur blockbuster a 10-day domestic total of just under $250 million.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterDisney’s “Lightyear,” an origin story about the Star Command’s most famous space ranger, is looking to take the box office to infinity and beyond. But first, it’ll have to thwart some rogue dinosaurs and a few fighter jets.The “Toy Story” spinoff is expected to launch to $70 million to $80 million from 4,200 North American theaters, which should be enough to claim the No.
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.
Angelique Jackson A key element of “Jurassic World Dominion” is Jeff Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm reunion with the original “Jurassic Park” crew (Laura Dern, Sam Neill and BD Wong), as the quartet share the screen for the first time since 1993.But that plot point isn’t the only “Jurassic” milestone for 2022.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter“Jurassic World Dominion” stomped to the top of box office charts, scoring a massive $143 million in its domestic box office debut.Despite blistering reviews, the sixth film in Universal’s dinosaur saga is looming large over a sizzling weekend at the domestic box office. It’s only the third time in the pandemic era that ticket sales have collectively eclipsed the $200 million mark, according to Comscore.
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.
J. Kim Murphy “Jurassic World Dominion” is the new apex predator at the box office.Universal’s dino-sequel is expected to earn $142.6 million from 4,676 theaters across North America over the weekend, which would mark the highest domestic opening for a non-superhero film since COVID-19 lockdowns were first introduced.
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.
“Jurassic World Dominion” is upon us.Billed as the last installment in the “Jurassic” “era” (because surely there will be more films), this latest entry in the franchise that began with Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece “Jurassic Park” back in 1993, is bigger and more dinosaur-stuffed than ever. “Jurassic World: Dominion” unites the two halves of the saga, as well – with newer characters like Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) partnering up with legacy characters Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum).

You know, typical “Jurassic Park” stuff.TheWrap chatted with Neill about what it was like returning to the franchise, what Judd Apatow’s Netflix movie “The Bubble” got wrong about the “Jurassic World: Dominion” production and whether he’ll make the final cut for “Thor: Love and Thunder.”You haven’t been completely absent from the “Jurassic Park” franchise. You popped up in “Jurassic Park III.” What do you remember from that one?I enjoyed it a lot.
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.

“Jurassic World Dominion” is that it’s a metaphor unto itself; the ongoing moral of the film series is that mixing the wrong strains of DNA leads to disaster, and that lesson is writ large in the awkward and clumsy attempt to graft the stars of the original “Jurassic Park” onto the “Jurassic World” movies, a combo platter that only serves to make the latter-day protagonists even less interesting by comparison.The other generous read, although it’s damning with faint praise, is to call this the best “Jurassic” movie since the original in 1993, but that doesn’t mean this one’s not, much like its predecessors, a hot mess. It’s just a hot mess with some effectively scary bits, a cool car chase and Laura Dern.“Dominion” spends so much time jumping back and forth between the “Park” cast and the “World” plot that one can only hope editor Mark Sanger (“Gravity”) received combat pay.
