“Jurassic World,” the record-setting dinosaur hit from Universal Pictures, returned for a second big weekend and “Inside Out” set a new high for an original Pixar film, as fans were treated to two blockbusters at the same time.
“Jurassic World,” the sequel of the 1990s series about genetics-for-profit gone astray, took in $102 million to lead the U.S. and Canadian box office, Rentrak Corp. said Sunday. It was only the second time a movie posted more than $100 million in sales in its second weekend, Rentrak said. Not far behind was “Inside Out,” the latest film from Walt Disney Co.’s Pixar Animation unit, smashing expectations with $91.1 million in its debut.
