  1. Jurassic Park now has 3 record breaking openings, putting it behinds Batman for the most.

     

    Unless large format theaters and premium seating really expands in the next few years (or a massive preview audience followed by a strong Friday), this might be the ceiling.  The next record breaker might have just as small a margin of victory.

     

    Still, monumental performance.  With summer weekdays and the 4th of July holiday, I can see this surpassing $600 mil so long as it doesn't implode in the coming weeks.

     

    Who would have thought that JW would outdraw AOU?

  2. What was this?

     

    Estimates had Fast and Furious opening at $72.5 million on it's opening weekend in 2009, bigger than The Lost World's $72.1 million opener (then Universal's record).  The actual opening weekend for Fast and Furious was $70.95 million, coming in just under.

    The F&F franchise ended up breaking the record anyways with each subsequent installment.  Well, until tomorrow.

  3. Welcome! BOM actually died completely last year, the weekend that Dracula Untold came out. Were you here for that?

     

    I remember panic, punching my fridge, and a six pack of beer.  Maybe not in that order.  I stopped by in October to see if anyone knew what had happened and if BOM was actually gone.

    Even after that debacle, BOM still limped on with Ray Subers continuing his detailed summaries.  With him leaving to a better position, there isn't really a reason to go there for anything, but the charts.  I also kinda missed using forums and the insanity of a fast moving topic.

     

    Go Puerto Rico!
