Box: $208m is impressive, but it would have done more had they brought back Laura Dern.

1. Jurassic World - $85m / $382m / $565m
2. Inside Out - $76m / $76m / $275m
3. Spy - $9.5m / $73m / $100m
4. San Andreas - $5m / $129m / $142m
**Dope - $5m / $5m / $14m
6. Pitch Perfect 2 - $3m / $177m / $184m
**Insidious: Chapter 3 - $3m / $44m / $50m
8. Mad Max: Fury Road - $2m / $142.5m / $148m
**Avengers: Age of Ultron - $2m / $448.5m / $454m
**Entourage - $2m / $29.5m / $33m

So, yeah. I was wrong about Jurassic World. Jesus, what a beast! So big, in fact, that it'll mean that whatever is #2 this week will hold the record for biggest #2 of all time. Inside Out has excellent reviews and will probably be closer to the grosses of Up and Finding Nemo, though I do wonder if Jurassic World may have stolen a lot of its potential family audience. It'll also be the first Pixar movie to not open at #1. The only other opener is Dope, which had good reviews from Sundance. Opening it immediately wide might be a mistake.
