`Jurassic World` closing in on USD 1 B at global box office

Washington: ‘Jurassic World’ is about to become the fastest film to cross 1 billion dollars mark at the international box office. According to Variety magazine, Universal’s blockbuster dino flick, which has so far claimed 981.3 million dollars, may beat the record set by “Furious 7” in 17 days, after 13 days in theaters. The Chris Pratt starrer film is now being eyed as a highest-grossing release of the year, with experts doubting if “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” would be able to compete with it. Meanwhile, Disney and Pixar’s ‘Inside Out’ earned a robust 41 dollars million from 41 territories, but the film is yet to release in many Europe theatres, and won’t land in China until July 30.
