"At least Fury Road got 98% on RT" - Warner Bros

[Blankments]

HOLY FUCK

 

Shame I'm gonna be missing this weekend mostly but hey, it's great to see a breakout, especially for a movie I've been stanning for.

[The Futurist]

What kinda sorcery Universal is using this year ?

 

And boy, how many Parks are gonna get destroyed in the coming  years, are you ready for the Blue spin off ?

[The Panda]

Jurassic World wins the Summer; an upset for the ages.

[#ED]

Wait, OVER TDKR...?

[mahnamahna]

If that happens, it better have some sexy ass legs.

With the reviews it's getting, it'll likely have a 4x from a $70-80 million OW. From a $45 million OW, I'd think a 5x-6x if it gets stellar WOM. Unlike Ratatouille or WALL-E, this looks like it'll please young kids as well as adults (similar to Up, Toy Story 1-3, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc) 

[Blankments]

This is so insanely massive you guys: just think, we haven't even reached the family audience yet, this can have monster SAT and SUN holds. We could be very well looking at minimum 130- maximum 160M.

Amen. I'm working at a summer camp, and like half the kids have been talking about Jurassic World all week. This may very well be 160M+. GOTG looks like a good comp for various reasons (Pratt, original-ish blockbuster since GOTG was in the MCU and Jurassic franchise has been dormant for 14 years, great family appeal).

[The Panda]

Could this June beat 2013's for the June record?  Jurassic World is going to easily trump MoS, Ted 2 (especially with Universal's current hotstreak) could possibly equal White House Down and The Heat combined, Spy should hold strong, Inside Out should also play out well.  

[Blankments]

looks like this overtake MOS for the highest opening weekend with an actor from Law & Order

Wait for Kingpin to take over the Van Strucker role in Infinity War Part 1 

[K1stpierre]

Dear god! Someone help me! My sister dragged me to this Mary Kay party and it's awful! I've got makeup smeared on me and annoying sales women trying to lure me into their company!

Oh. 67-71?!?!?!?!?! Hot damn!

[DAJK]

Very reminiscent of Furious 7's opening...

JW - $475 million

IO - $325 million 

Ted 2 - $235 million 

Spy - $120 million 

Max - $105 million 

Insidious 3 - $50 million

Entourage - $30 million 

Dope - $20 million 

 

It's certainly possible... but it depends on a lot of things.

 

Inside Out breaking out

Ted 2 increasing over the original

Max breaking out

Spy getting some legs

JW having a leggy run

Dope doing decent

Jurassic World over The Force Awakens 

[Blankments]

While Pratt has only been in blockbusters since his career took off (so he hasn't been fully tested as an independent leading man), it's quite obvious audiences love him.  They should pair him and JLaw in a rom-com and get an explosive hit.

Imagine this ensemble cast for another rom-com anthology movie:

 

Chris Pratt

Jennifer Lawrence

Channing Tatum

Emma Stone

Chris Hemsworth

Anna Kendrick

Chris Evans

Shailene Woodley

 

Shit would be so huge, both in budget and in revenue.

[K1stpierre]

Jurassic World over The Force Awakens 

PFFFFF. GET THE HELL OUT.

[PDC1987]

Universal can't stop counting the dollars with Ted 2 in 2 weeks and Minions in 4 weeks. 

Trainwreck and Straight Outta Compton aren't gonna be slackers either.

[mahnamahna]

Jurassic World over The Force Awakens 

DOM?

 

It would need $500 million+ DOM for that. After its third weekend, we'll have a good idea of how likely it is to be over SW7. The hype for that is equal to JW... 6 months before its release date. 

[The Panda]

Every Universal tentpole this year has broken out much bigger than expected.

 

Given their hotstreak I'll go ahead and say

 

Ted 2 OW Over 70m

 

Minions OW Over 100m

 

Trainwreck OW Over 25m

 

Straight Outta Compton OW Over 35m

 

Everest OW Over 30m

 

Crimson Peak OW Over 40m

[Boxx93]

Dont forget that Steve Jobs Biopic. That one should be big too.

I'm not sure how leggy JW will be. If it wasn't for the last 5 minutes of the movie I would be predicting the legs to be pretty weak. But those 5 minutes might cause the WOM to spread like a fire, I don't know yet.
