"Jurassic World", the universal film brought in an estimated $511.8 million around the world. That would put the dinosaur thriller behind only the $207.4 million U.S. total of "The Avengers" in 2012.
"Jurassic World" also pulled in $44.1 million at giant screen IMAX theaters worldwide, beating the $28.8 million that "Iron Man 3" made in 2013.
The colossal debut for "Jurassic World" greatly exceeded the expectations of many Hollywood analysts, who believed the film would make about half as much as it did.
The U.S. audience for "Jurassic World" was split pretty evenly between male (52%) and female (48%) moviegoers, and 61% were over age 25, according to studio data.
Steven Spielberg's classic movie first took audiences to an island overrun with genetically created dinosaurs in 1993. Since then, the "Jurassic Park" series has hauled in over $2 billion worldwide.
"Jurassic World" opened in more than 4,200 theaters. It is the fourth installment of the franchise, and the first film since "Jurassic Park III" in 2001.
