If the estimate holds, that gives "Jurassic World" the second-largest opening at the box-office ever.
The previous record, set by 2012's "The Avengers," is $207.4 million.
Earlier this summer, it was thought "Avengers: Age of Ultron" would come close to beating that record, but it came short with a weekend gross of $191.3 million.
