NEW YORK (AP) — In a box-office bout of Tyrannosaurus-sized proportions, Jurassic World kept the number one spot with one of the biggest second weeks ever, while Pixar’s Inside Out nearly matched it with a US$91.1 million debut well above expectations.

Universal’s Jurassic World took in US$102 million in North American theatres, according to studio estimates yesterday, making it only the second release to break US$100 million in its second week. The enormous holdover for Jurassic World, which last week set an opening weekend record with US$208.8 million, has been bested by only 2012’s The Avengers, which made US$103.1 million in second week.

The unexpected sensation of the Colin Trevorrow-directed, Steven Spielberg-produced fourth entry in the franchise had turned Disney’s US$175 million 3-D Inside Out into an underdog expected to merely nip at the heels of Jurassic World. But the emotional Inside Out, about the voices in the head of an 11-year-old girl, blew past its own forecasts to set records, too.

Inside Out was the first Pixar release not to open in first place, following an unparalleled two-decade streak of 14 straight no 1s. But it’s the largest opening for a wholly original movie (one not based on source material or a sequel), unseating Avatar in that distinction.
