CNWGY - 'Lightyear' low on fuel as dinosaurs hold grip atop box office

A lackluster Lightyear (NYSE:DIS) debut meant the film couldn't quite buzz to the top, falling behind some still-powerful dinosaurs as Jurassic World Dominion (NASDAQ:CMCSA) held its lead for a second straight week. The Jurassic World sequel lost 59% of its opening-weekend business, but still landed at $59M in domestic gross. That was better than a relatively light Pixar opening, as Lightyear drew about $50.6M despite opening on over 4,000 screens. That's not shabby, but expectations were high for the first Pixar theatrical release in two years. International tickets aren't adding a lot to that total: another $33.6 million, to bring its worldwide total to $84.2 million so far. Jurassic World Dominion, meanwhile, has hit a cumulative domestic total of $249.8M, and it's even stronger internationally, leading to a worldwide cumulative gross of $622.2M. It turns out the most important part of Top Gun: Maverick (NASDAQ:PARA) (NASDAQ:PARAA) may be the legs.
