Jurassic World Rebirth has the potential to match/maybe even exceed Dominions numbers if the marketing really sells the movie well. The Jurassic Park/World franchise has the major advantage of beeing maybe the only big franchise still around where the very simple premise "The movie will have dinosaurs and everyone likes dinosaurs!" even after 6 movies can still hook people. Because if i look at the 2025 blockbuster fare, Jurassic World 4 inevitably stands out from all the rest, just because of the kind of movie it inherently is. So in that sense, the Fandango poll makes a lot of sense to me. Another poll number that makes me kinda excited is that apparently a lot of people look forward to SarJo starring in the movie. And to be sure, shes one of the few actresses in Hollywood i think that actually has large enough popularity that it could give the movie a boost it otherwise woudnt have had.

Not really, but how successfull an anime film is (outside Japan) is heavily dependant on its connection to a big anime franchise. The Demon Slayer film next year for example will likely be massive worldwide.

Thinking about the level of creativity and visionary filmmaking Disney had in the Rennaissance era vs today gives me an existential crisis. Like, years ago i joked that in the 2030s we will start seeing animated remakes of their live-action remakes. But by now, i dont think thats actually a joke, that might be where they will go.

Good to see that the characters in this seem to have learned from the second movie that walking in tall grass is always the safest option

Words cant describe how much i loathe these soulless, creatively bankrupt live-action remakes. They the bane of my existence, the lego under my foot, the pain in my butt.

Scew my scepticism for this movie from like 1 year ago, im so hyped for this.

Funny thing is, the thread title may stay accurate as soon as the first of the new Demon Slayer movies releases lol

I celebrated the anniversary by watching Gojira (1954), Godzilla 2014 and Shin Godzilla today! Sadly Minus One only comes out on Blu-Ruy here in December, otherwise i would have included it instead of Shin probably. I also am not ashamed to admit that i watched a ton of Godzilla tribute videos today and maybe got a little teary-eyed 🥲

I think they really need to point out in the marketing that this is the Finale of the series, i.e. the end of an era. I agree also with many posts before that Dead Reckoning Part 1 probably partly underperformed because - while it was still great on its own - its action scenes werent as unique as the ones in Ghost Protocol or especially Fallout. But if DR Part 2 succesfully manages to have both the Finale Factor and truly standout-action set pieces, i dont see a reason why it shoudnt increase from Part 1.

Why did WB dump the new Clint Eastwood movie? It has very good reviews and i would think Eastwood is still an iconic enough name to have some brand power ... does WB just dont care about it?

There likely wont be a re-release. And double features (normally) only happen if both movies are out in theaters which in Inside Out 2's case woudnt be the case anymore when Moana releases.

The Clown went down. But another Clown claimed success. Literally clowning on it.

Theres such a thing as justice in this world after all

Nothing.

I agree, Dinosaurs alone dont necessarily mean a movie will do well - same with dragons or any other creature feature. The brand name of Jurassic Park/World is more important as well as the hook of the movie.
