I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to checking out the upcoming sequel to Jurassic World once it hits later this month. I wasn’t onboard until the film’s final trailer (which you can see below) but now I’m all-in.
And today we have word via Variety that Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom could open with a $140 million to $150 million opening weekend in North America.
Here are some more in-depth stats: “Unaided awareness for “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” is at 27% with total awareness at 94% and definite interest at 61%.”
While that’s an impressive opening for sure, the original “World” film snagged an opening weekend haul of a whopping $208.8 million.

Synopsis:
It’s been four years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles. When the island’s dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who’s still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown a respect for these creatures she now makes her mission. Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could return our entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times. With all of the wonder, adventure, and thrills synonymous with one of the most popular and successful series in cinema history, this all-new motion-picture event sees the return of favorite characters and dinosaurs—along with new breeds more awe-inspiring and terrifying than ever before. Welcome to Jurassic World.
