The movie Jurassic World has broken box office records around
the world. It is the first movie ever to make more than $500 million at movie
theaters on its opening
weekend. Ticket sales in the US were $204 million. In China,
they were $100 million and in the UK they were $30 million. A senior
media
analyst said about the box office record: "No one saw this
coming." However, the film didn't beat the record for the most successful
opening weekend movie in the United States. That record is still held by The
Avengers, which took $207 million back in 2012. The success of Jurassic World
surprised many movie industry experts. They expected the
film to make just $100 million in the USA.

Jurassic World is the fourth installment in the
Jurassic Park series. The first was Jurassic Park in 1993, which earned more
than $1 billion globally. The latest movie was the most popular film of the
weekend in all 66 countries where it was released. There are many reasons why
the film did so well on its opening weekend. One reason is the fact than many
parents who watched the first Jurassic Park when they were children took their
own kids along to see Jurassic World. Another reason is because the movie opened
on the same weekend in China as it did in the US. It is unusual for any movie to
be released at the same time
in the two countries. China is the world's second biggest film
market.
