Ted 2 Mere Appetizer for Jurassic World

Someday, when paleontologists dig through the rubble of our current age, they’ll discover the fossilized box office receipts for this June. They’ll carefully brush around the remnants of our days with their specialized whisk brooms, examine the strata and utter low whistles.

“Yes,” they will say to each other. “This was truly the age of the dinosaurs.”

Jurassic World once again won the weekend box office derby, collecting an estimated $54.2 million like monstrous ancient squirrels preparing for the coming ice age. (If dinosaur squirrels were into hoarding money through some miracle of time travel, that is.) That’s the third weekend win in a row for World’s genetically modified beasties, which means its box office reign is only slightly shorter than the Jurassic period itself (give or take).

Add those weekend receipts to World’s previous North American bank, and this Chris Pratt-helmed monster movie has made $500.1 million in just three weekends—sprinting like a velociraptor past Avengers: Age of Ultron to become 2015’s biggest movie. If you factor in its overseas moola, World has earned nearly $1.1 billion. It’s possible that, if Universal wanted to, they could buy Greece right about now.

If it wasn’t for World, the movie world might be buzzing over Inside Out. Pixar’s latest charmer earned another $52.1 million, nearly taking down the dinosaurs and bringing its own two-week domestic tally to $184.9 million. While those aren’t World-beating numbers, it’s already the year’s fifth biggest moneymaker, and Inside Out seems a lock to cross $200 million by this time next week. That might make even Sadness break into a smile.

With those two titans still dominating the top of the box office, the weekend’s newcomers never really stood much of a chance. Ted 2 got the stuffing ripped out of it, earning just $33 million for third place and falling well below expectations. Seems that drug-addled, foul-mouthed teddy bears just don’t have the appeal they used to. Max, a heartwarming dog-and-his-boy tale, finished fourth with $12.2 million—outpacing industry estimates.

Spy, Melissa McCarthy’s R-rated spoof, closed out the Top Five with a $7.8 million weekend.

Final figures update: 1. Jurassic World, $54.5 million; 2. Inside Out, $52.3 million; 3. Ted 2, $33.5 million; 4. Max, $12.2 million; 5. Spy, $7.9 million.
