Jurassic World Surpasses Avengers for Third Biggest Hit

With its record for biggest opening in history and the biggest hit of 2015, Jurassic World has broken another record by becoming the third biggest hit of all time. Previously the title was held by Marvels, ‘The Avengers’. The first and second spot are held by Avatar ($2.78 billion) and Titanic ($2.18 billion).

Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Irrfan Khan and Vincent D’Onofrio, and had an opening weekend of $208.8 million. It has now grossed $1.522 billion, beating The Avengers’ $1.520 billion. Irrfan Khan said in an interview, “Both the industries have their own uniqueness. But Hollywood has a bigger reach and has its own universal language. It is more powerful. It has dominated our cinema. It can affect the business of Bollywood. But, our films are not affecting their business. Its Hollywood, which is affecting Indian cinema”.

Jurassic World was directed by Colin Trevorrow and has also earned more than the original film, ‘Jurassic Park’, by Steven Spielberg, when accounted for inflation. However, according to Collider, the total income of Jurassic world does not account for inflation in the U.S. Taking it into account, the top three movies of all time are ‘Gone with the Wind’, ‘Star Wars’, and ‘The Sound of Music’.
