The Indominus Rex readies her attack in Jurassic World.Universal by [Christopher Rosen/EW](/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Christopher Rosen/EW Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Jun 13, 2015 3:22 PM CUT _Jurassic World_ exploded at the box office on Friday night, [earning an estimated $82.8 million during its opening salvo](https://twitter.com/giteshpandya/status/609722441284341760 "undefined") (that number includes [$18.5 million from late-night screenings](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-jurassic-world-unstoppable-802048 "undefined") on Thursday). That gives Colin Trevorrow’s film the third biggest opening day of all time, behind only _Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2_ and _Avengers: Age of Ultron_, and puts it on pace for nearly $200 million in North American ticket sales by Sunday. Other records in sight: The blockbuster stands as Universal’s biggest opening day ever, and it’s expected to top the debut of _Furious 7_ to give the studio its biggest debut weekend of all time. _Jurassic World_ will also wind up with the biggest June opening ever (_Man of Steel_ holds the title with $116 million), and should surpass the opening weekend total of the three previous _Jurassic Park_ films _combined_. “On behalf of everyone involved in the making of ‪_Jurassic World‬_, and believe me there are thousands of us, I want to say thank you,” [star Chris Pratt wrote on Facebook on Friday night](https://www.facebook.com/PrattPrattPratt/posts/992794967418999 "undefined"). “It feels so wonderful to hear the overwhelmingly positive response. We are incredibly blessed and overcome with joy at the outcome of the movie and couldn’t be more appreciative for the amazing support you’ve shown so far. This is bigger than all of us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!” _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/13/jurassic-world-friday-box-office-82-million "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3920327/jurassic-world-opening-day/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3920327/jurassic-world-opening-day/"},"headline":"Jurassic World Has Third Biggest Opening Day of All Time","datePublished":"2015-06-13T15:22:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:11:04.942Z","description":"The film is on pace for nearly $200 million in North American ticket sales by Sunday","url":"https://time.com/3920327/jurassic-world-opening-day/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3896058bca769b8e/6988546fa988ca52d16b3036/jurassic-world3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christopher Rosen/EW"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3896058bca769b8e/6988546fa988ca52d16b3036/jurassic-world3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Film Title: Jurassic World","caption":"Jurassic World","creditText":"Universal","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3920327/jurassic-world-opening-day/","name":"Jurassic World Has Third Biggest Opening Day of All Time"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Jurassic World Trailer","description":"Jurassic World Trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/WEs5ekqI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-05-26T16:04:45.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/WEs5ekqI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3920327/jurassic-world-opening-day/","duration":"PT2M40S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3920327/jurassic-world-opening-day/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
