Sorry Terminator And Magic Mike But Jurassic World Is Still On Top

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his “Terminator: Genisys” reboot couldn’t break out and it was far more grind than bump for Channing Tatum and the six-packed strippers of “Magic Mike XXL,” the two wide openers at the box office over the July 4 weekend.

That’s largely because two heavyweight holdovers, the blockbuster “Jurassic World” and Pixar Animation’s “Inside Out,” dominated domestically for the third straight weekend. Universal’s dinosaur sequel is on pace to claim its fourth consecutive weekend win, taking in an estimated $30.9 million, and for the third straight time outpace the Disney family film, which took in $30.1 million. But the margin is narrow enough that the results could change when final numbers come in Monday.

“Jurassic World” will pass $550 million domestically this weekend, after 24 days — the fastest any film has hit that milestone. The sequel toSteven Spielberg‘s 1993 sci-fi classic is now the fourth highest grossing film domestically and the fifth-highest worldwide with $1.38 billion.
