It is a sequel to the Jolie movie, only without Jolie or the guy from the first movie, is produced by Universal's direct-to-video department, and is being distributed by Pure Flix...I don't get it either.

49% of Jurassic World ($72.2M)
Leaning towards Thor: Ragnarok as the best comparison here, both being Marvel movies, and partially because Ant-Man seems like it will get a lot of walk-ups thanks to family audiences which can help drive it towards that number.
But as always, I feel as if a number between Jurassic World and Thor seems like the safest bet.
Wild prediction, and I could be wrong on this: I think the $800K might be for Deadpool. For a comparison Avengers jumped 34% from the 4th to the 3rd back in 2012.
I know that we're all hyping up Set It Up, but if y'all want another good Netflix movie original, there's a Scottish movie called Calibre that is hella good. Not gonna say much, since it's best knowing as little as possible about it, but it's really great stuff.
