Jurassic World Weekend Thread | Official Est. 204.6M | 208.8M - Actuals

[#ED]

 

Universal has still plenty of huge hits to come: Minions and Ted 2.

 

Minions! 

[Mojoguy]

WOW! This is a HUGE win for Universal and Chris Pratt!

[zackzack]

Holy fuck.

That is all.

 

How about us? $43M, remember?

 

[Asyulus]

Opening weekend record is going down.

 

This movie has simply unprecedented dominance with the 20-40 crowd & their families.

It will go up.

Number won't be beat for 50 years.

That's like saying Prince's 'Purple Rain Soundtrack' going 13x Platinum wasn't impressive because MJ's 'Thriller' is 29x Platinum.

Feel free to quote this if the OW record goes down because no one will ever be more right in history.

You're insane, and this is why we can't have nice things. Because people always go crazy and overboard.

[Jessie]

Not gonna happen.

 

I think I actually love her, she's seems so cool and not stuck up.

[junkshop36]

Awesome!!!

 

Don't know if I'll see it this weekend but definitely next weekend.

The point is JW is not going to be as frontloaded OW as F7.

 

How do we know that for sure? Godzilla's opening was pretty frontloaded.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Some predicts for Friday, including sneaks of course. I'm going with $68M.

Godzilla is a bad comparison imo, no family appeal.

[redfirebird2008]

Godzilla is a bad comparison imo, no family appeal.

 

They are the same genre.

[PDC1987]

JW is far more of a family film than either of those, far more of a crowd pleaser than Godzilla and F7 had the ultimate OD rush factor.

 

Also, Godzilla's previews accounted for 10% of the weekend total, if JW does that it's making $185 million OW.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Agreed. Something like Indy 4 is a better comp. Too bad that opened on a Thursday... I think.

Thank God it's bringing life back into box office.

[Bishop54]

All I really wanted was just enough to get the June record, now anything over that is gravy.

[PDC1987]

They are the same genre.

So were Watchmen and The Avengers.

[Poseidon]

So after the Avengers 2 weekend, that was amazing, but ripped to pieces by this place, we'll have the excitement level, I would have wished for back then, now for JW.

May it rock the weekend like it should now.

I love following BO, it can be so much fun.
