Box Office: 'Jurassic World' Tops 'The Dark Knight,' 'Inside Out' Tops Friday

We'll find out tomorrow whether Inside Out or Jurassic World ends up topping the July 4th holiday weekend frame. They are both going to do over/under $30 million for the frame and they will both drop around 45% from last weekend. The only reason rank matters is this: If Inside Out tops the box office in its third weekend, it will lose what would have been an easy record for the biggest-grossing movie ever to not top the box office over a given weekend. The current record holder is My Big Fat Greek Wedding at $242m, a number that Inside Out will flirt with tomorrow or Monday. Obviously I'm sure Walt Disney cares as much about this record as they did about whether Inside Out topped its debut weekend back in mid June. But as a student of this kind of weird box office trivia, I was looking forward to crowning a new victor early next week.
