Monday #s: Jurassic World 25.34M | DOWN GOES TDK MONDAY
cory replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
If it follows TDK from here out it gets ~$585M, but we won't know the ceiling until this weekend's numbers. Weekends should be higher than TDK because it's less adult-driven and earlier in the summer. -
Agreed on all points. A bigger plot hook with the same setpieces would have been rad.
-
JPIII is far more enjoyable than TLW. A little rushed and nowhere near as well-made as TLW, but very consistent from start to finish. It also brought back the real raptors after they were turned into rabid kangaroos in TLW. More importantly it actually feels like an island inhabited by dinos.
-
500 million is almost certainly the floor. Movies don't just open huge in June out of nowhere and get under a 2.5x multiplier.
-
A movie can't do that with 5 hours more of primetime showings and 4.5 years of inflation and IMAX expansion? I'd say it's about time.
-
DH2 level previews will make up for day business.
-
Now I'm glad it only broke the record slightly because that means a better chance for Star Wars to get it. And it beat TA day business for all three days. Can't argue with that.
-
Exactly. I had thought TDKR would break the record with 180M, with nothing on the horizon having record potential after that except for a sequel to TASM. Then TA swooped in and showed the true power of 3D spillover and TASM left no impression on anyone.

With hindsight I'd still say Avengers was more shocking. Jurassic World at least had the precedent of being the "true" sequel to the biggest movie between E.T. and Titanic (plus two OW records for the series). But Hulk and Captain America with some friends battling a second tier villain? And it looks like a big budget TV show? Really?
-
I watched it yesterday, it's not so much a movie as it is an excuse to show a T. rex every 5 minutes. And it's pathetic that they highlighted so few new species. At least act like a sequel if you're going to be a bad sequel.

So Legendary's first summer movie with Universal made the gross of its first summer movie with WB in three days.
-
Yes. It's actually one of the reasons why box office data is so public compared to music or home video or video games.
-
But... it fell within his range (which he gave hours before the trades numbers came in). He wasn't wrong by 4m lol
-
No, we can't get accurate enough admissions go determine which movie has the real OW record. But we can easily figure out that DH2 and AOU were nowhere near being the real #1 and #2 at the time of release, respectively. It's a perspective check, not a replacement for gross.

The opening weekend update hype cycle *is* box office tracking. We wouldn't be posting if this shit was predictable.
-
So casual readers don't jump on the troll numbers.

Jurassic World could pass Ultron before the end of the month.

Disney hasn't won domestic since 2003.

We'll know tomorrow afternoon after someone reverse engineers Keith's report.
-
I'd say 600m is just about locked. Minimum 1.6x 10-day multiplier due to summer weekdays, and the 10-day will be above Avengers' 373m. Pirates 2 multi gives it 655M. June is slightly weaker though.
-
This is the box office I've been waiting for since TDK. A true summer all-timer like the 90s again.
-
It's not doing less than AOU DOM. Yesterday I was still certain it could beat JW but I honestly can't say now.
