  1. I wonder if Universal will eventually add more screens near the end of JW's run just like how Disney and most studios add screens near the end of their movies runs to increase gross even further or to reach a milestone. Disney increased TA's screens from 495(day 78) to 1705(day 120) which helped it cross 620m. Disney also did the same for Cinderella so it could reach 200m. The Dark Knight also had an increase in screens later on.  

  2. Bad preview for Terminator Genisys, but this stil gives me hope.

    Terminator Genisys goes wide in 3,758 locations today. Over the weekend, Terminator Genisys collected $8.4M in 10 foreign territories. According to Fandango’s presales, Terminator Genisys is pacing ahead of San Andreas at the same point in its sales cycle.

    Pre-sales don't really ensure success. Like some have mentioned, Fandango also reported that Ted 2 is outpacing Ted in pre-sales but look at what happened now. 

  3. You don't think Mockingjay Part 2 will get to $300m?

    Yeah, it will definitely get past $300m and probably be the highest grossing of all HG films which is expected since it's the last one. I mean even MJ part 1 earned more than $300m and that was a boring film.

  4. haha, we could...but that would be like saying Avatar beat Phantom Menace or Jurassic Park's domestic ticket sales...Avatar is the most overestimated on there due to the 75-80% 3D ratio and over $100m IMAX. It's around 8-10 million tickets behind Jurassic Park but BOM lists it around 10 million tickets ahead (original runs only).

     

    Either way, if you said Jurassic World would come anywhere near the admissions number of SM1 people would laugh you off this website just a month ago.

    I don't think anyone or the majority of people could have predicted JW's success. Going back, I've seen some OW and even lifetime predictions that were nowhere near even JW's first 2 day gross.

  5. The BOM chart does not properly account for IMAX, 3D, or premium large formats like Regal's RPX or Cinemark's XD. None of this stuff was around in 2002. Other thing is Spider-Man likely sold more kid tickets than Jurassic World. Kid tickets cost less than adult tickets, which is something that really screws up the ticket counts listed on BOM. Shrek 2 is likely very underestimated on there compared to more adult-driven stuff like TDK. In the end, I believe SM1's ticket total is over 70m and JP4 will do very well for itself if it can get over 70m as well.

    Oh, I see, thanks for the info. I guess we can just say that JW will beat Spiderman's estimated admissions on BOM's charts. lol
