The image of Paramount and Skydance earned another $ 50 million for a total of $ 393.3 million domestically. The Jurassic World Dominion came just behind the 2018 Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ($ 148 million) and most notably the 2015 Jurassic World ($ 208.8 million), but boasts one of the biggest openings of the era. of the pandemic.
