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

[The Futurist]

Stan the Man. Pretty strong testament to him and the guys at ILM in the 90's that JP1's dinos arguably look better than the new ones...22 freaking years later!

 

Stan Winston was a genius. Cameron admired him so much.

Gone waaaaay too soon.

Spielberg basically stole the Terminator 2 teams from Cameron for the first Jurassic Park.

Dennis Murren and his small crew at ILM who did the T-1000 on T2 and Stan Winston and his team.

So the opening weekend might be higher than some peoples domestic predictions.

 

When's the last time that happened?

God bless all those guys. They created the definitive T-Rex and Raptors, at least for me. Science and feathers be damned.

There's no stopping Universal this year. 

 

 

Pretty much.

[Poseidon]

I'm fairly sure it'll jump on Saturday (minus Thurs, of course).

 

I'm not sure, even Toy Story 3 and MU didn't.

The big WOW should come on sunday, where it should drop in the 10-15% range.

I think there were a couple people who thought MAD MAX would absolutely tank. And a couple who thought PP2 wouldn't do too much either.

[Fancyarcher]

Yaaaaasss. Stan, baby.

 

 

Okay!

[Noctis]

Hopefully it gets under 169M. 

 

lol.

 

Hopefully not. I wanna see JW hit $170m+.

This has a broader base of excited fans.

Pitch Perfect 2 for a few people.

[James]

I don't.  No #3 is already bad enough.

If Jurassic Park is doing these numbers, what can Star Wars do?

If furious 7 is doing these number, imagine what AOU can do.

[Black Hawk]

Fuck it let's go 71-75

Another Chris Pratt movie, GOTG.

 

Actually probably American Sniper or PP2.

[grey ghost]

If JW hits 170 OW, what range are we looking at for the domestic total?

This and American Sniper are big shocks to me. What an awesome year so far. And we still got Bond, MI5, Star Wars, and Mockingjay. 

[Plain Old Tele]

I'm not anybody special or even that insightful, but damn, I'm glad I bought max shares of JW at 186

Above AoU must happen.
