It is being said that Universal's worldwide box office gross is now an estimated 3.318 billion dollars, making the year 2015 company's biggest year ever.

 

Moreover, after 'Jurassic World' became Universal's fourth number one opening of 2015, the company has been declared number one at the North American box office for the eighth time.

The records that fell this weekend were propelled by hits as 'Fifty Shades Of Grey,' 'Furious 7 and Pitch Perfect 2,' along with 'JW' which just bowed to 511.8 million dollars worldwide which is the first time ever that a movie has made over 500 million in one weekend.
