"Jurassic World" powered to $318 million globally in its first weekend while "Lilo & Stitch" is nearing $1 billion after seven weekends.

Universal/Amblin’s “Jurassic World: Rebirth” showed that there’s still some staying power in the three decade-old dinosaur franchise, beating estimates again and again as the Fourth of July weekend rolled on to earn a 5-day domestic opening of $147 million and a 6-day global launch of $318 million.

: This dinosaur franchise is far from becoming extinct as Universal/Amblin’s Jurassic World Rebirth is now looking at a $312.5M opening, heads and tails higher than what we were seeing in our early week projection of $260M.
