The Jurassic World franchise is far from extinct at the box office.

Jurassic World Dominion had a strong domestic debut this weekend despite being slapped with the worst reviews of the Jurassic Park series. The film grossed $143 million, just below the $148 million, pre-pandemic debut of its predecessor, 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. This was the second-biggest opening of the year so far behind Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
