Studios on Sunday estimated that the blockbuster sequel to Jurassic World earned an additional $60 million (U.S.) in its second weekend in North American theatres, bringing its domestic total to $264.8 million. While its second weekend drop is about 10 per cent steeper than that of the first film, worldwide, the film has grossed $932.4 million to date and is barrelling toward the $1-billion mark.
