JURASSIC WORLD ROARS IN CHINA
Jurassic World has so far raked in $1.388 billion worldwide careening it among the top 5 grossing movies of all time alongside names like Avataar and Titanic. In China alone it has crossed the $200 million mark making it the highest-grossing market country-wise outside the United States. The monster hit grossed nearly $38 million in the week June 22 - 28 and took its cumulative collection figures to $202 million after 19 days of screening there. 
But figures for the July opening week showed a drop of 60% thanks to a local release titled "Monk Comes Down The Mountain" that opened to a very strong $37.5 million collection during the same period.But despite such hiccups JW's Chinese collection managed to reach a mind-boggling $225 million as per latest estimates.
Such figures are not surprising when one considers the fact that the 3D re-release of the original raked in $56 million in 2013 surpassing the US collections for the same by $11 million . To build 
up pre-release interest in Jurassic World, makers Universal Studios flew over Director Colin Trevorrow and stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard to China in May for a press tour.

Atletico's epochal feat, bereft of great names dotting their two great rivals Barca and Real Madrid, is a testimony itself to some supreme teamwork and incredible strategic skills of their mercurial Argentine coach Diego Simeone. As for Barcelona, they will have to eat humble pie and their talisman, Leonel Messi, the highest goal-scorer in Spanish League history, will have the great baggage to carry to Brasil this June, that of bringing the World Cup to his home country, Argentina. Having being dubbed the greatest club player of all-time is one thing and delivering at the national level is another. Argentina's mediocre...
