Universal’s Jurassic World has set the all time record for the highest opening weekend in North America, as the movie collected a record-breaking $208.8 million (Rs 1336 crore) last weekend.
Made on an estimated budget of $150 million (Rs 965 crore), Jurassic World was released across 4,274 theatres in North America. Most analysts had predicted that the opening numbers would be somewhere between $125 million – $135 million. But the box office performance of the film has almost doubled the estimates.
Internationally, Jurassic World became the first movie to cross $500 million in a single weekend. It collected a massive $100 million in China and opened in first place in all 66 international territories where the film was released, including India where it beat local Hindi film ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’.
Jurassic World set the opening weekend record at the worldwide box office, collecting $525 million (Rs 3373 crore) by beating the previous record set by ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’ in 2011.
In India, Jurassic World has taken the third highest opening of 2015 after ‘Fast and Furious 7’ and ‘Avengers – The Age Of Ultron’. It has collected Rs 23 crore in 4 days.

1. dilwale
2. bajrangi bahijaan
3. prdp (one of the worst title)
4. brothers
5. tamasha

Outstanding figures..I always wanted to know the all time list of Hollywood box office..thanks for the article
Varun-Kajol’s Dilwale will break this record. $1 billion in first weekend.
China is inflating the BO collections of hollywood films. The market has grown considerably in recent years so it gives recent films an advantage compared to previous films.
Watched Jurassic world. Well…Well..Well….
I found it quite entertaining during the interval as when i went to toilet,colour of my pee was yellow which was similiar to colour of screenplay of Lootera. Ahhhh …!!
UMMM… I found the hindi dub dialogues of this film manipulative. I didn’t liked it. They were good but not great. 2nd half dragged a bit.
Also the classy scene of stealing Kohinoor was missing in the film which was in classy Bang Bang. HUH, i am sad!
I go with generous 1.5/5 rating.
Laughing on Indian cinema. Peekay lifetime is beat by Hollywood films in one day. While Pakistani singers and actors are #1 in bollywood. Atif aslam, Fawad khan and Ali Zafar are ruling bollywood.

Watch only if u are its fan , don’t watch it if u are Lootera or classy ‘Bang Bang’ fan.
JP has received rave reviews too. I want to watch the movie as soon as possible!
Huge gap, here Bollywood achieved 700cr first time in Bollywood while they are collecting 1300-1400 cr in a weekend itself in USA, Huge difference. 100 million $ in a weekend in China is also huge, while pk collected close to 18 million is big big achievement but one thing satisfactory for us as Jurassic world opening is no where close to furious 7 and avengers in India.
irrfan rocked in this movie so proud of him
Dark Knight Rises <3
best movie of the year after watching JW i felt like a child again wow
In top.lists Avataar missing. why ??
i prefer Universal’s movie over Overrated Marvels. i dnt like Marvels movie strategy n der attitude. only makin sci-fic mve n made new chara Hero. Universal’s last two releases FF7 n Jurassic world doin more business den Age of ultron n nxt Ant Man wont be achieve success.
