‘Jurassic World’, ‘Inside Out’ Topple ‘Terminator: Genisys’, ‘Magic Mike XXL’ At Weekend Box Office

By Brent Furdyk.

That mighty roar you hear is the unstoppable box office power of Jurassic World, which continues to tower over the competition in this weekend’s big-screen box office race.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the dino-powered sequel racked in another $30.9 million this weekend, for a total North American box office take of $558 million. Pixar hit Inside Out came in at a close second this weekend with $30.1 million, and a total domestic total of $246.2 million.

This was bad news for the weekend’s new arrivals, Terminator: Genisys and Magic Mike XXL, neither of which lived up to expectations.

The latest entry in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator franchise took in a relatively puny $28.7 million (for a five-day total of $44.1 million), while the Magic Mike sequel only brought in $12 million this weekend (total so far: $27.1 mil, a far cry from the $39 million the first Magic Mike achieved during its opening weekend).

Given its whopping $155-million budget, the anemic box office of Genisys likely spells the end of the Terminator franchise; turns out he probably won’t be back.
