Jurassic World Breaks Box-Office Records In Opening Weekend

“Jurassic World” opened to a staggering $511.8 million worldwide; the first time a film has ever grossed more than $500 million in a single weekend.

The dinosaur thriller is the top-ranking film from sea to shining sea, after opening in first place in North America and across all 66 international territories where it debuted.

Domestically, “Jurassic World” scored the second-biggest debut in history with $204.8 million, nipping at the heels of “Marvel’s The Avengers’” $207.4 million bow. Its international weekend estimate also takes runner-up position on the all-time charts. The $307.2 million “Jurassic World” generated trails the $314 million racked up by “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.”

The fourth installment would be the most successful of the dino franchise. It comes over a decade after “Jurassic Park III” hit theaters and 22 years after Steven Spielberg’s original “Jurassic Park” launched.

Chris Pratt Gives Acting Lessons While Drunk

Hunky Hollywood “It” man Chris Pratt is currently promoting his upcoming (and soon to be HUGE hit movie) Jurassic World.

During a “behind the scenes” with Pratt for a GQ Magazine photo shoot, someone thought it would be fun to ask the hunkster for acting tips. At issue, however, was the fact that Pratt had a few shots of Fireball whiskey to loosen up for the shoot.

That’s ok, Chris. We’re good with that. Proceed 🙂

“The truth is, it’s hot as hell. And I’m drunk,” admitted Chris with a mischievous grin.

Pratt asked for more shots, and talked away, to hilarious results.
