You mean a huge built in audience ready to spend their money on JURASSIC branded entertainment?

Reviews will play a big role here. Mid $60s seem like a solid floor but if it gets raves, it could get $90m+,

Zelda Williams aka Robin's daughter? Hoping this is hugely successful.

I would argue that both have potential above that number depending on a number of things, no way to slice it, it would be stupid to release them 7 days apart. Exact same audience in all corners of the globe.

JURASSIC PARK is a great film period anchored by good-to-great performances in every aspect of film making, especially casting Newman as the bumbling embezzler. JURASSIC WORLD is a great popcorn film anchored by fantastic performances by Pratt and BDH. LOST WORLD and JP3 were blah. FALLEN KINGDOM could not have been worse and should be retconned. Ruining the original island, making Hammond and Masrani dumb enough to build the dark on an ACTIVE VOLCANO? Dominion, good grief...

Where it should have been all along, and the exact same day a relatively popular and modestly success WB superhero film opened once upon a time...

One of these may well move.

A prequel set in the early 2000s as they capture the Dinos to make way for Jurassic World would be dope.

Cavill hate is ridiculous. If Cavill Superman vs. The Rock Black Adam was our lead summer movie, it would be opening to $150m+.

How do we think Oppenehimer's R rating affected presales? I would assume its a bit less was up friendly as a result in comparison to something more teen friendly like Dune.

can we update the title to "Back on top since capitalism is the GOAT 😎"?

@WarnerBros is the only studio that should release this.

... You mean that isn't based on a true story? Maximus, Commodus, Marcus A, etc?

Kylie needs to pimp this on her insta asap

Margot was great but obviously not Oscar worthy. Her best roles remain I, Tonya and Wolf of Wall Street.

Josh Hartnett would be perfect for the lead

A prequel set during the construction of Jurassic Park or Jurassic World would be badass AF. Imagine following a team of hunters tasked with capturing the loose Dinos all over the island?

This film might have been even better than it already was had the lead been Antonio Banderas and the villain played by young Jude Law. That would have been magnetic.

Phoenix was utterly brilliant as well. And the script quite good. And numerous other leads would have succeeded there. Mel Gibson and Antonio Banderas were eyed and both would have been tremendous. Bruce Willis was at top of him game back then and would have been perfect. Jude Law begged for the part of Commodus but they opted for JP, Law would have been tremendous too. I have always felt Gladiator was similar to Batman Begins in that is a perfect "prestige popcorn" blockbuster with strong enough themes and developed enough characters to be a prestige film but its at its core an obvious popcorn crowd pleaser.

Everyone trying to be the new Josh Hartnett with fame. Shawn Mendes, Jacob Elordi, whoever this guy is..

Read page 1. Whoever at WB opted to gamble on Barbie and Wonka IP deserves a raise.

Wonka 2 will be a big film.

The lasting impact of this film is significant. Whatever Nolan or Murphy do for follow up is going to be very noteworthy.

Canning Batgirl was no doubt about further protecting IP that was already clearly going in the wrong direction. They would have further diluted the brand and for the worse. I wanted to return Burton's Gotham as much as anyone but that is what it is. They can't give the mouse that cookie. Multiple versions of these characters at once is insane and worked for 1 film (NWH). Wouldn't be surprised at all if it does make it's way out down the line after a new DC era has been established and there will far less emotional reactions from fans.
