The newest movie in the Jurassic franchise didn't just open big - it stomped the competition by topping box-office expectations.
Universal's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom had a domestic debut of $150 million, according to studio estimates Sunday - the first non-Disney film of the year to open north of $130 million.
That's more than one-fourth off the $208.8 million monster North American opening for the 2015 reboot Jurassic World - but the new sequel had to hold off Pixar's "The Incredibles 2," which grossed an estimated $81 million in its second weekend, pushing its domestic total to $350.4 million.
Just how impressive is that?
