Weekend Box Office: 'Jurassic World' Almost Tops 'Avengers' Record With Dino-Sized Haul

If there were any concerns that audiences were "over" dinosaur movies, they're gone now.

"Jurassic World," the franchise reboot of the 1994 classic "Jurassic Park," opened to a massive $204.6 million over the weekend, far exceeding any expectations of the film...especially considering the performances of previous sequels in the franchise.

That $204.6 million domestic gives "Jurassic World" the #2 opening weekend of all time, second only to 2012's "The Avengers," which opened with $207.4 million. However, "Jurassic World" did have the single best Friday haul of all time.

Even better for Universal, "Jurassic World" earned a whopping $511.8 million globally thanks to big performances in foreign markets, with China alone contributing $100.8 million.

There were no other major openers this weekend, with none daring to take on the gargantuan dinosaur flick, so holdover "Spy" took second place with $16 million. In third was disaster movie "San Andreas" with $11 million, putting it over the $100M mark domestically.

The third "Insidious" movie took fourth place with a modest $7.3 million in its second week, with "Pitch Perfect 2" rounding out the top five with another $5.9 million.

Here are the top five movies of the week, with domestic cumulative totals:

1. "Jurassic World" - $204.6M
 
2. "Spy" - $16M ($56.9M) 
 
3. "San Andreas" - $11M ($119.3M)
 
4. "Insidious: Chapter 3" - $7.3M ($37.3M)
 
5. "Pitch Perfect 2" - $5.9M ($170.6M)
