The film is set to earn from $30 million to $40 million on its opening weekend.

The studio is set to break break Warner Bros.’ previous record of earning $2 billion by December 25, 2009. Universaly is also very likely to break the record for all-time domestic box office, which was set by Warner Bros. with $2.1 billion in 2009.

Universal's huge hit “Jurassic World” has been the year’s most biggest film, earning $637 million in domestic tickets while becoming the third highest-grossing film of all time. Universal's “Furious 7,” “Minions,” “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “Pitch Perfect 2” also have made the top 10 list of highest-grossing films of the year.

Universal had set a global box office record last week, when it became the first studio to earn $5.53 billion in one year.
