‘Jurassic World Dominion’ Chomps $18 Million at Thursday Box Office
thewrap.com“Jurassic World Dominion,” the third film in the rebooted “Jurassic” franchise of movies led by Chris Pratt, made $18 million at the box office Thursday in its initial preview showings that began at 4 p.m.
from 4,150 screens. It opens on 4,676 screens this weekend. “Dominion” is projected for a T-Rex size $125+ million opening weekend, though it will be interesting to see how the film performs as “Top Gun: Maverick” enters into its third week after staying strong since its Memorial Day opening.
