I think people want this to fail because the first one was mediocre yet it made a bunch of money

I I thought the first JW was worse than mediocre. I absolutely hate it. Still I love JP & Lost World and really wanted this to be good. Sucks early reviews are saying it is pretty bad (from critics I trust).

I think @Jay Beezymeant its embargo relative to its domestic release but yea it being released early internationally is why it got lifted as "early" as it did. 

 

But either way both DP2 and IW proved that late embargoes really don't mean shit.

I thought Jurassic World was a fun timekiller but I've never had the urge to revisit it and nothing in the sequel seems like enough to make me come back for round 2. I feel this will be the case for a lot of people, at least domestically.

 

Still sticking to 1.2-1.3B WW.

Jurassic world will be released tomorrow in many countries. They simply can not longer embargo it. Of you consider international release dates the date the embargo lifts still strongly correlates with a movie's quality. 

I heard some pundits say they thought the embargo suggested a quality movie for JWFK. Campea seemed oblivious to the international rollout.

Jurassic Park (1993) — 92% — 8.3 rating
Jurassic World (2015) — 71% — 6.7 rating
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) — 68% — 6.1 rating (with 19 reviews)
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) — 53% — 5.6 rating
Jurassic Park III (2001) — 50% — 5.2 rating

 

We'll see where it ends up. Hard to say right now, as we're only 19 reviews in.

 

Peace,

Mike

Well the first one is awesome.   It changed movies back in 1993

I think the danger is that people go to a JW movie for escape,particular nowdays,and this apparently is very heavy handed with a message. I am certainly not agiasnt  a action movie with a message,(I loved Black Panther) but the JW franchise does not seem a good choice for that.

So this is gonna be rotten around 40%-50%

 

Let's go with 110M OW 260M dom total

Oh I've seen people on Twitter enjoy it more than the first.

 

_{Time for me to go encourage people to see A Monster Calls instead.}

Sorry but there is no hype for this one and reviews are bad

 

I don't see how this can even reach the 130M-150M range that was projected for it.

It's at 70% with 20 reviews. I can definitely see it staying fresh, even if just barely.

[Empire]

I think this will finish 52%. Still sticking with my 452M domestic prediction.

Lol at some critics saying “we know the drill” and giving a rotten review but giving a fresh one to Infinity War

 

Honestly don’t care about this movie or whether it’s rotten or fresh, but given what’s been going on in the forum for the past few days, this post belongs in the Franchise Wars thread, not here. Posting this is just inviting a reaction from the usual suspects and I don’t think it’s necessary in this thread.
