WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Jurassic World utterly dominated the chart with 204MM, well over what many gurus predicted, even as those predictions jumped on Friday (I saw estimates of 100-130MM).  Against a 150MM production budget, the 511MM taken in worldwide in one weekend looks to be a money-gusher.  This is the second-biggest movie opening, second only to The Avengers.  It's also the biggest movie to open in June, ever.  Spy placed with 16MM, on a45 percent drop thta's not bad inlight of the dino rampage.  San Andreas showed with 11MM taking the brunt of the Jurassic juggernaut on a 57 percent drop.  Insidious: Chapter 3 dropped an even bigger 68 percent to take the fourth slot with 7.3MM -- but that's largely a function of the horror genre.  Pitch Perfect 2 rounded out the Top 5 with another 6MM.

JURASSIC WORLD: Look, I'm not going to slag a movie that has Chris Pratt motorcycling with raptors.  And I give Universal--a major theme park operator--credit for investing in a movie at its core pretty cynical about theme parks and their customers.  Moreover, the flick includes one of the most bizarre meta-product placements I can recall.  But Jurassic World can ultimately claim onlyto be bigger, not better, than the original. The original formula is back in place, with two kids left in the custody of a relative, here the work obsessed Aunt Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard). The twist is a subplot about the weaponization ofthe mutant dinosaurs, which Pratt's character has come to second-guess, while Vincent D'Onofrio (playing InGen as Blackwater) wants to proceed despite the apparent risks (itself a common movie trope).There's plenty of action and suspense, and Pratt's charm manages to make Howard somewhat appealing (Hollywood has been pushing her much longer than the avg Hollywood "It" Girl; it helps when your Dad is Ron Howard). The visual efefcts are, as you would imagine, spectacular, though I don't think the 3-D added nearly as much as I would have expected.  It was a fine popcorn movie, but it's not entire possible to capture the wonder of the original.  Indeed, the characters will tell you as much from the big screen.
