Subject: Jurassic World is now the third highest-grossing film in history

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/22/15 at 5:37 am

It was a big weekend at the US Box Office, with the top two films taking almost $200m (£126m) between them.

Jurassic World made $102m (£64m) in its second weekend to take the top slot.

It is only the second film ever to break the $100m barrier two weeks in a row (the first was Marvel's Avengers Assemble).

Pixar had a bit of disappointment, though, when Inside Out became its first ever movie not to debut at number one.

But the film's $91m box office haul should compensate for that. It's Pixar's second-biggest opening weekend after Toy Story 3; and the best ever opening for an original (ie non-sequel) film in US box office history.

The US full box office top 10 is as follows.
1. Jurassic World - $102m
2. Inside Out - $91m
3.Spy - $10.5m
4.San Andreas - $8.2m
5. Dope - $6m
6. Insidious: Chapter 3 - $4.1m
7. Pitch Perfect 2 - $3.3m
8. Mad Max: Fury Road - $2.8m
9. Avengers: Age of Ultron - $2.7m
10. Tomorrowland - $2m

Jurassic World is now the third highest-grossing film in history, behind Titanic and Avatar.

The dinosaur thriller has racked up $1.52 billion (£974 million), overtaking Marvel's Avengers Assemble.

The film, starring Chris Pratt and a cast of CGI dinosaurs, has yet to open in Japan - but it is unlikely to make enough to dethrone Avatar from the top of the chart.

James Cameron's blockbuster made $2.79 billion (£1.78 million) back in 2009.
