Movies: Jurassic World Set To Break Box Office Records


Universal's Jurassic World (starring Chris Pratt) looks poised to be huge at the box office this weekend, with estimates for the North American opening at $155 million-plus. That would be the biggest three-day opening ever for the month of June.

From Hollywood Reporter:

The $150 million tentpole, rescuing the dinosaur franchise from near-extinction, is expected to earn $65 million-plus on Friday alone. That includes $18.5 million from Thursday evening previews, the biggest late-night showing ever for Universal after Furious 7 ($15.8 million).

How about you, intrepid readers? You planning to get your "Jurassic" on?
