The latest “Jurassic World” installment made over $318 million in box office sales domestically and internationally over the last five days.

It's hardly a secret that the films of the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise do well at the box office. Audiences have demonstrated a passion for seeing dinosaur-filled action on the big screen for over 30 years.

The Universal Pictures release, directed by Gareth Edwards, opened on Wednesday and earned $147.3 million in its first five days in 4,308 North American theaters. An estimated $91.5 million of that comes from the traditional “three day” weekend, which includes the Friday holiday, Saturday and projected Sunday ticket sales.
