Distributed by Comcast’s Universal, _Jurassic World_ last week roared to [more than $500 million](http://fortune.com/2015/06/15/jurassic-world-just-notched-the-biggest-global-opening-weekend-ever/ "undefined") in global box office gross in its first few days of release — the most ever for a film’s opening weekend. The film’s domestic gross fell off by more than 50% this past weekend, but that was less than was expected and not enough to knock the thriller from atop the [weekend’s box-office rankings](https://fortune.com/2015/06/22/pixar-inside-out-record-open/ "undefined"). As it stands, _Jurassic World_ finished its second weekend with $981 million in global box-office gross in less than two weeks in theaters, according to Box Office Mojo. At that pace, the film will cross the $1 billion threshold on Thursday, after 13 days in theaters, [according to _Variety_](http://variety.com/2015/film/news/jurassic-world-box-office-1-billion-international-1201524803/ "undefined"). That would break the record for the fastest film to reach $1 billion in ticket sales, surpassing _Furious 7_‘s previous record of 17 days, set earlier this year. Whenever it does cross top $1 billion in global ticket sales, _Jurassic World_ would be the 22nd film to ever do so (joining 1993’s _Jurassic Park_, among others). _Jurassic World_ now has $398 million in domestic ticket sales, but the majority of the film’s box-office gross has come from overseas markets, including $167 million in China. The massive success of films like _Jurassic World_ and _Furious 7_ have helped set up a Hollywood rebound after the movie industry suffered a down year in 2014, when total gross dipped more than 5% (thanks, in part, to [a poor summer blockbuster season](http://fortune.com/2014/08/30/summer-2014-box-office-fox/ "undefined")). Compared to last year at this time, Hollywood’s total box-office haul is up by more than 6%. And there are more big blockbusters coming down the road that should continue to make money for the industry, including _Minions_ (opening next month) and the highly-anticipated _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_, which opens in December. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3931194/jurassic-world-record/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3931194/jurassic-world-record/"},"headline":"Jurassic World Is About to Devour This Massive Movie Record","datePublished":"2015-06-22T21:35:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:25:51.494Z","description":"Sorry, Furious 7","url":"https://time.com/3931194/jurassic-world-record/","keywords":["movies","Hollywood","Box-office","Jurassic World","pubdesk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt48e069b9d9a8e399/698854813c163943e24585d3/jurassic-world5.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tom Huddleston / Fortune"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt48e069b9d9a8e399/698854813c163943e24585d3/jurassic-world5.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jurassic World","caption":"JURASSIC WORLD, Chris Pratt, 2015. ©Universal Pictures","creditText":"Universal Pictures","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/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3931194/jurassic-world-record/","name":"Jurassic World Is About to Devour This Massive Movie Record"}}]}] ```
