Jurassic World Dominion Box Office Crosses $600 Million, Top Gun: Maverick Zooms to $855.2 Million

Jurassic World Dominion has slowed down a bit at the worldwide box office after making big numbers in the first week. Even though the film carries a franchise value, it is facing stiff competition in the form of Tom Cruise’s Top Gun Maverick, which is in its 4th week.

Jurassic World Dominion has collected $622.2 million at the global box office so far, to enter the $600 million club despite negative reviews.

Meanwhile, the Tom Cruise-led Top Gun: Maverick zoomed past the $800 million mark, as it continued to find an audience nearly three weeks after it opened in theatres on May 27. The sequel to the cult film Top Gun has grossed $885.2 million worldwide, record figures for a Cruise movie.

Coming back to Jurassic World Dominion, of the total $622.2 million, nearly $250 million comes from the US and Canada box office. The remaining $372.4 million  comes from markets outside this region. It put up particularly strong numbers in countries such as Mexico ($36 million) and the UK ($26 million).

That said, Jurassic World Dominion's figures in most areas are nearly 35 percent below 2015's Jurassic World and 18 percent less than its sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The only exception here is China, where the Chris Pratt-led movie has raked in nearly $92 million to deliver the third highest grossing Hollywood movie of the COVID-19 pandemic era.

For Top Gun: Maverick, of the total of $885.2 million, nearly $466 million comes from the US and Canada market. The remaining $419 million comes from territories elsewhere, barring China and South Korea. While the second Top Gun movie will not be released in China, it is set to open in South Korea this Thursday, June 23.

Jurassic World Dominion and Top Gun: Maverick are likely to stay strong in the coming days as the week's new release the Toy Story spin-off Lightyear had an underwhelming opening weekend. It collected $85.6 million globally out of which $34 million comes from markets outside the US and Canada.

Cruise and the dinosaurs are unlikely to face competition during the next weekend too, as the animated action comedy Minions: The Rise of Gru — whose predecessor grossed over a billion dollars, mind you — opens in theatres on Thursday, June 30 in India and Friday, July 1 in the US.

Jurassic World Dominion and Top Gun: Maverick are playing in cinemas globally.
