Posted March 16, 2014 by Mitch Salem

Posted June 28, 2015 by Mitch Metcalf

WORLDWIDE STUDIO SCORECARD.  Universal is the big gainer again this week, partly because of the forecast domestic total for Ted 2 added to the chart but mostly because of almost $300 million in overseas box office added to Jurassic World (some of which is delayed reporting from the prior week).
