Universal's “Ted 2″ debuted to an underwhelming $32.9 million across 3,442 theaters, roughly $15 million less than most analysts expected the teddy bear-comedy would bring in during its opening weekend.

Perhaps the over-familiarity hobbled “Ted 2”, but its mellow-harsh start is also attributable to the presence of two box office juggernauts in Disney/Pixar's “Inside Out” and Universal's “Jurassic World,” which racked up $52.1 million and $54.2 million, respectively.

“Jurassic World” now ranks as the fifth highest-grossing domestic release of all time with $500 million in Stateside receipts, behind “The Dark Knight” ($534.8 million). It marks the third consecutive weekend that the dinosaur thriller has topped North American charts, and the fastest that a film has ever crossed the $500 million mark. Aside from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, it's hard to see another 2015 release matching its massive box office results.

 “It's forging new ground,” said Nicholas Carpou, head of domestic distribution at Universal. “Every time we turn around there's a new milestone we're checking off.”

With “Jurassic World” continuing to be an indomitable force, “Inside Out” took runner-up position on the charts for the second consecutive weekend. The critically heralded family film has earned a sizable $184.9 million since opening last weekend.

The weekend's other new wide release, “Max”, an uplifting drama about a military dog combined pooches and patriotism to the tune of $12.2 million. 

Fox's “Spy”, the Melissa McCarthy espionage comedy, took fifth place with $7.8 million, bringing its total to $88.3 million.
