Dinosaur blockbuster "Jurassic World" showed no signs of extinction at North American movie theaters this weekend, taking the top spot for the fourth week running, according to industry estimates Sunday.
The fourth film in the popular "Jurassic Park" series brought in $30.9 million over the weekend, bringing total earnings to $558 million -- making it the fifth highest grossing film of all time, according to Rentrak media analysts.
The film, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, brings viewers back to the tropical island featured in the first installment, released in 1993.
Steven Spielberg -- who directed the first two Jurassic films -- returns as executive producer for the action adventure about a genetically modified killer dinosaur on the loose.
The movie just inched past its closest competitor, "Inside Out," which snapped up $30.1 million in second place, box office tracker Exhibitor Relations reported.
The animated flick from Pixar features the voice of Amy Poehler as young Riley, whose emotions of joy, fear, anger, disgust and sadness battle it out internally as she copes with a move to a new city.
In third was action-packed sci-fi fantasy "Terminator Genisys," which brought in $28.7 million in its debut weekend.
