The seventh installment in the action-adventure series created by Steven Spielberg opened well ahead of expectations over the long Fourth of July holiday in the U.S. — where it racked up $147.3 million — as well as overseas.

“Jurassic World” was missing from IMAX screens domestically (due to a commitment to continue showing “F1”), but it thrived on the premium large format screens where it played. One of those options was Dolby Cinema, where it made nearly $8 million from only 167 screens in five days.

It's hardly a secret that the films of the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise do well at the box office. Audiences have demonstrated a passion for seeing dinosaur-filled action on the big screen for over 30 years.
