Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom debuted at $148 million to dislodge Incredibles 2 from the top spot at the North American box office, sales data showed Monday.
The dinosaur sequel—executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, who directed the original two movies—fell short of the then-record $208 million opening by the last Jurassic film in 2015, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.
Still, Fallen Kingdom has passed the $700 million mark worldwide—despite tepid reviews like the suggestion by The New York Times that the film is little more than "a way for people with no other plans to grab some air conditioning."
The movie stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard as they try to rescue genetically recreated dinosaurs from a volcano-threatened island and move them to—why not?— a sprawling California mansion.
