‘Jurassic’ dinos shake earth, boost N. American box office

Big-grossing films Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Incredibles 2 again dominated the North American box office this weekend according to industry estimates on Sunday.

Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Justice Smith encounter a voracious dino in a scene from the latest installment of Jurassic film. 

Universal’s latest earth-stomping dinosaur movie took in $60 million for the three-day weekend, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported.

The superhero-family-next-door of Incredibles 2, a Pixar/Disney animation, earned $45.5 million.

Together they helped estimated industry receipts to the end of June rise 15 percent against the same month last year.

Jurassic, featuring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, and Incredibles, with voice actors Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter, were expected to do well. The former is nearing the $1 billion mark globally, while Incredibles is set to become the second-biggest animated film ever in North America, after Finding Dory.
