Endearing underdog Jurassic World becomes third-highest grossing film ever

Diesel recently proclaimed that Furious 7 would be “the biggest movie in history,” and even went so far as to say it will “probably win best picture at the Oscars, unless the Oscars don’t want to be relevant ever.” Now that it’s “just” the fifth-biggest movie when it comes to the box office, he’d be wise to adjust his 2016 Oscar expectations—although that qualifier about whether or not the Oscars want to be relevant does give him some breathing room.

Chris Pratt, the star of Jurassic World, is a noted master of foresight himself, but surely couldn’t have predicted such a haul. The film also isn’t done yet—Japan will release it August 5 and ticket sales are still trickling in elsewhere around the world. Barring some kind of miracle though, the film is unlikely to pass Titanic and Avatar’s respective $2.18 billion and $2.79 billion marks, let alone the unbreakable $49 billion behemoth Vin Diesel is convinced Furious 7 put up.
