The dinosaur franchise movie earned $53 million (RMB355 million) in three days in China, according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway.
The film chewed off a massive 88% share of the total weekend market. Its score is the best opening weekend of any film since the always exceptional Chinese New Year session at the beginning of February.
It is also far and away the strongest opening by any Hollywood movie in 2022. It compares with $9.7 million earned on opening by “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” $11.6 million earned by “The Batman” and the $7.5 million opening haul of “The Matrix: Resurrections.” Large screen cinema company, Imax reported that $6.3 million or 12% of the film’s Chinese weekend total came from its screens.
