Box Office: “Jurassic” rules the world — $130 million weekend

boxAn $82 million Friday suggests that millions of Americans forgot the plot of 1992’s “Jurassic Park.” Or ignored scads and scads of warnings that “Jurassic World” is exactly the same movie.

Well, anything to sell the popcorn. It is a popcorn movie. Not like “San Andreas” or “Mad Max” reinvented the wheel. “Jurassic World” will pass “San Andreas” on its very first weekend, and catch “Mad Max: Fury Road” by Tuesday or Wed.

Then again, in the time it took you to read this, “Jurassic World” made more money than the far superior (only on 15 screens) “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.” It’s made $70,000 thus far, will be lucky to manage $165 K this weekend.
