Jurassic World' becomes only the fifth film in history to cross $500 million domestically after narrowly winning the weekend ahead of 'Inside Out'; 'Terminator: Genisys' opens to promising $8.3 million overseas from 10 smaller markets.
Seth MacFarlane's raunchy R-rated Ted 2 could have used some fuzzy-wuzziness at the North American box office this weekend.
The $68 million comedy, reuniting MacFarlane with Mark Wahlberg, eked out a third-place finish, grossing a disappointing $32.9 million. That's nearly 40 percent behind the $54.4 million launch of Ted in summer 2012. Overseas, the comedy, from Media Rights Capital and Universal, opened to $20.3 million from 26 markets for a global launch of $53.2 million.
Granted, the first film didn't face competition from two giant tentpoles, as Ted 2 did from Universal's Jurassic World and Disney/Pixar's Inside Out, which continued to claim the top two spots.
