But today we have the two big movies in release passing a few relative milestones. Anyway, Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World Dominion earned another $8.65 ...
It will, over this weekend, pass the inflation-adjusted gross of Top Gun ($180 million mostly in 1986/$440 million adjusted) to become Tom Cruise’s biggest “tickets sold” grosser ever. Universal has helpfully confirmed that the $185 million dino sequel has passed $300 million overseas and $500 million worldwide, passing Venom: Let There Be Carnage ($505 million) on the list of Covid-era grossers. It’ll also top China’s Hi, Mom ($835 million) this weekend to be the fourth biggest Covid-era grosser. That’s not the bar for success, not for Jurassic World 3 and not for Doctor Strange 2. The Universal tentpole will zoom past $200 million domestic tomorrow, having long since passed Jurassic Park III ($181 million in 2001/$292 million adjusted). It’ll pass The Lost World ($229 million in 1997 but $456 million adjusted) over the weekend to become the fourth-biggest Jurassic Park/Jurassic World movie in raw unadjusted domestic earnings. Anyway, Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World Dominion earned another $8.65 million on Thursday to bring its domestic cume to $191.136 million in seven days.
