So it is official. Jurassic World scored the biggest opening weekend of any film in history. Congratulations to Universal, Chris Pratt and everyone else involved. One of the most shocking results ever. Time for them to take a dollar bath now.
I agree it's possible, but if one of These do it, I think it's gonna be Bats vs Supes. Let's be honest, from the general audience nobody is gonna see a JL movie for The Flash or Green Lantern. They're gonna see it for the Trinity and since that will already appear in BvS, I wouldn't be surprised at all if BvS has a bigger opening than JL.
So the OW record for JW is still on the table? Nice. Hope it gets it. I'm seeing it this afternoon, and some of you guys' reactions to it have made me really excited for it. I'm ready for some dino action.
I think it could go as high as $250m in China and maybe slightly higher domestically, too. I think HP8 numbers are the ceiling at the moment, but who knows where it'll end up if it has great legs everywhere.
I think as long as Ant-Man makes 150m domestic and 400-450m WW it should be considered a success since the budget was probably quite low for a superhero movie. And I can't see it going much lower than 150m DOM/400m WW. The Marvel brand is too strong.
I still don't believe in a gigantic OW for JW. IMO an OW around 100m and a total around 250m should be considered a success since it's the first JP movie in 14 years and JPIII was generally disliked.
I know. I thought Spy would have at least a bit more appeal since Melissa McCarthy is quite popular here, at least from what I can tell, but I might be wrong.
