20-25% drop from JW's ow gives 157-167. Hoping it manages to fall somewhere in that range and depending on where, it will need 2.4-2.5x to hit 400 dom. 2.6x gives 410-435.

Sequelitis for sequels to beloved first films shouldn’t set in the opening days/weekends but later. If nothing else the anticipation for a sequel to a beloved film should cause the sequel to open higher .

Not nowadays where people getting sequels thrown at them every few months. Coming off a beloved first movie helps but it's only part of the ingredients needed to out open your predessessors huge opening OW. People still want a reason to turn up

I was so hyped for this movie coz I loved the first JW but I didn't like this one at all. I am all for not caring about logic in these movies but the amount of dumb decisions that characters take in this movie beggars belief. It almost made me angry. I still hope it does well but I am not as optimistic as I was before. I am expecting middling/lukewarm WOM atleast in India if my showing is any indication.

 

4/10

80% second day drop in S Korea. That's worse than The Mummy

Barely average movie. Way less than JW1.

The movie sticks to the story and it should had strong writing , instead it had medicore writing (way lot of dumb , absurd & silly scenes , particularly one scene was just godawful)

paltry direction.

Performances were decent.

 

Finally that Color Palette was pretty bad.

 

 

In India , online ticket selling site bookmyshow currently has it  at 78% , which indicates average response. 

Average critic reviews on this site is 2.3/5 indicates pretty bad.Part1 was at 3.2/5.

Honestly that Wed number is pretty good, it increases in Asia (the growing market) and didn't drop that hard in Europe. We don't know the legs but the OW will be pretty good.

Q a.k.a. The Winged Serpent

 

It's from the same guy that wrote and directed a movie called The Stuff. I'm pretty big fan of it and The Stuff.

Done with my 3rd viewing in 24 hours. Gets better with each viewing. Love it! My girlfriend said it was miles better than JW and feels more like a direct sequel to the original trilogy. 

 

Almost all shows at all major cinemas are sold out here in Dubai and the audience seems to love it. The only bittersweet part is that the younger generation are starting to identify the franchise as Jurassic World rather than Jurassic Park. I'm 25 and I feel old now lol but it will always be Jurassic Park to me!

Will see the movie in 18 hours. Coudnt be more excited!

A 130M OW for this might just be on the cards if not lower.

[DeeCee]

 

[Not really]

Based on its UK opening day (86% of JW in pounds and lower in USD, if I read the thread right), DOM would have an OW of $178 million. I think that's the high end for this.

amazing that they kept a sub-200 prod budget

Quote

The offhand projection this weekend points to a $140 million global launch, which would be fine for a $170-budgeted dino sequel (no, it didn’t cost $260m as was reported all over the Internet for about ten minutes last year) with lots of territories awaiting the big launch.
