J.A. Bayona’s dino-sequel opened to some tepid reviews, including a 2-star write-up from Flicks’ Tony Stamp, and couldn’t match the $2.345,458 scratched up on Jurassic World‘s opening weekend in 2015. No need to push the panic button just yet, though – that’s in keeping with the US, where Fallen Kingdom is Universal’s second-biggest opening weekend ever (after its predecessor), with grosses increasing as the weekend went on – a studio’s dream.
