Battle at the Box Office 6/22

By Zach

Although Inside Out had the second largest opening weekend in Pixar history, it was still not enough to defeat the juggernaut that is Jurassic World.

Jurassic World made another, whopping $102 million, losing 51% from last weekend’s record breaking opening. It’s made $981 million worldwide and is most likely going to take the record for fastest time to $1 billion, beating Furious 7’s 17 day record from April.

Inside Out made an incredibly $91 million even up against Jurassic World, just shy of Toy Story 3’s opening of $110 million, which is still Pixar’s best opening. It’s also the best opening ever for an original movie (not a sequel or reboot).

Spy dropped down to third with another $10.5 million, putting it over $74 million for it’s three weeks out.

San Andreas and new release Dope rounded out the top 5, with the latter making $6 million for it’s opening weekend.

Further down the list, after making it onto the Top 10 last weekend, Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy dropped back out of the top 10, taking 12th this past weekend. Entourage also fell off the top 10 after taking sixth last weekend.
