Infinity War will likely make more in its first week than Fallen Kingdom will in its first two  

Nah, IW will have a bigger OW due to more frontloading but it won't be so wildly bigger.

 

So many people comparing the two though, you guys know there's a brand new club comparing them for the domestic crown, right?

I will say, the battle for the summer crown 2018 will be the most interesting in years. The potential for incredibly huge numbers and incredibly huge meltdowns is certainly there.

And I will be here for all of it!

The fetishization of the T-Rex into a pseudo-hero is one of the reasons why this franchise took a nose-dive in quality. 

 

Don't blame me for these movies 

 

(If I were I charge, my Jurassic Park movie would be good and everyone would love it)

Nah dont think so. 2 and a half ours of a whole Spinosaurus family getting slowly eaten by the T-Rex gets old after a while.

[Chewy]

Honestly don't think the battle next summer will be that interesting. IW clear #1, JW clear #2. Maybe Deadpool/Solo/Incredibles will be close to round out the top 5 idk

Mine would just be a nature doco. Remove the people parts entirely, just have dinosaurs. It would be the best. Cut out the convoluted and dumb plots and human characters and just show dinosaurs doing dinosaur things for several hours.

 

Think Planet Earth except it has dinosaurs and a $200M budget.

What are you predicting for it, again?

380M or so

But...every movie needs to have Farrier in a Spitfire.

Paint a pterosaur on the Spitfire and we'll call it a day.

Hot Take: I think DP2 has a decent shot at being #2, and could even have a small chance at rivaling IW.

Scorching take considering the history of comedy sequels. Possible I guess!

If DP2 is what we're now calling Black Panther, yeah, sure.  

[RobinHood26]

Deadpool 2 is pulling a Guardians 2.  I have 0 doubt it my mind.

Black Panther won't come close to winning the summer unless they change the release date.

Dropping from 1.6 billion to 1.2 billion won't be keeping the studio up at night

They expect it. Its planned for. they run numbers. They know.

Black Panther is coming within 50 mill of Infinity War, I'm sticking to it.

Win the summer? Black Panther is a winter film(Feb '18) so of course it's not going to "win the summer".
