JW was good in fact it was really good... But the other movie I saw last night was better without a doubt

It better not be Paul Blart 2 or Tomorrowland.

[Ethan Hunt]

But they haven't made a MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE movie yet...

Pitch Perfect 2

So much fun (and I didn't even like the first one)

Jesus. This is Furious 7 all over again. It's just getting higher and higher.

I think this really speaks for how huge and iconic JP is. That after years of being a dormant franchise, the new one is opening with $150 million plus.

I think Deadline is literally trolling this forum:

 

 

When you get this big, there aren't many other openers you can compare it to though. You can't use the May openers, because those Fridays are schooldays.

I loved the first Pitch Perfect. While the second was funny, it's racist jokes and stereotypes were not.

All the more impressive when just a few years ago they were really struggling to produce hits.

$18.5 million pre

$56.5 million Fri ($75 million) 

$67 million Sat ($142 million) 

$42 million Sun ($184 million)

 

Crazy this could legitimately do $175-185 million OW. I hope that doesn't negatively impact Inside Out's potential OW/DOM run

JP2 and JP3 were nice, but "THE PARK IS OPEN" is the logical sequel we've all been waiting for since 1993.

 

Similarly, The Force Awakens is the sequel we've all been waiting for since 1983.

It's Jurassic Park...I mean who wouldn't want to visit to a place like that...

F*ck if I had billions, I would totally build one...

If JW does $160 million+ OW, the JP area at Islands of Adventure is gonna get some JW rebranding and expanding. So happy for this!! 

[Mango]

If JW opens to $160 million or more, I don't think Inside Out is making it to first place next weekend. I can't see JW dropping more than 55% next weekend with Father's Day to boost it.

Given how the rest of the year has gone for them, this may be more appropriate

[Rthmessiah]

If that holds up, it would be around a 75m OD.

Yep could endup  something around that, see how it goes into eve 

[Intensive]

I think this will have good holds through the weekend

[kitik]

where is that "Jurassic World #1 two weekends in a row" thread?

[mahnamahna]

If JW opens to $160 million or more, I don't think Inside Out is making it to first place next weekend. I can't see JW dropping more than 55% next weekend with Father's Day to boost it.

Then Day After Tomorrow's record very well could go down.

 

Inside Out with $70-80 million, JW with $75-85 million. Huge weekend either way lol. 

[Ethan Hunt]

Hey, no other film this year has provided me with a stellar a capella version of one of Tim McGraw's biggest hits.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Anyone else seeing Inside Out/Jurassic World as parallel to Catching Fire/Frozen?

It certainly helps that nothing else (except maybe Spy) is going to make any money at all.
