There's plenty of roar left in the Jurassic World franchise.

Jurassic World Dominion — which is touted as the "conclusion" of the series and reunites stars of the 1993 original Jurassic Park — earned $143.3 million at the domestic box office over the weekend, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

That marks the second-biggest opening weekend of the year so far, just behind Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness's $187 million and beating out other 2022 hits like The Batman and Top Gun: Maverick.

Dominion was not the largest Jurassic opening to date though. The first Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard entry Jurassic World made a massive $208 million upon its debut in June 2015. And sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom made $148 million in its first weekend in June 2018.

The latest film is directed by Colin Trevorrow and stars Pratt, Howard. Original Jurassic Park stars Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum are also back for the latest adventure. The cast also includes DeWanda Wise, Isabella Sermon, Campbell Scott and Mamoudou Athie.
