$380m off of $170m? This isn't Potter. 

is that a good thing or a bad thing

[Mojoguy]

There is no way JW is hitting 500M with 50M+ openers over the next two weekends. 

 

Summer weekdays are a beautiful thing.

You guys realize that some Therapod dinosaurs having feathers is fact and not conjecture, right? We have the specimens.

And you realize many of the dinosaurs in each Jurassic movie didnt actually live in the same time period? But...who cares tho?

The marketplace can handle more than one big film at a time.

The way dinosaurs look in all media is too iconic. Damn the feathers. We have bords and chickens, thats good enough, Id rather the T-rex stay scaled.

Could you imagine the Toronto Raptors "feathering" their logo? I cant.

 

They could dig up a complete specimen of T-Rex or Velociraptor covered in feathers and I will continue clinging to what I grew up with, and make no mistake JP1's visuals are a big part of that.

It's not gonna detract from the film, but it would have been so nice to at least see some dinosaurs represented more accurately.

I don't know, but the later the evening gets, the more this feels like that day in early may 2012. Another revised number by RTH and I think we all know, that this movie won't have a normal multiplier...

I really start to feel it...

Seems like just yesterday when Paramount was launching franchise after franchise and Universal was in turmoil

 

Now it's the Transformers Cinematic Universe vs a hit factory

And Ninja Turtles,MI,Terminator...

I'm aware. As I already stated in this/the JW thread, the dinos in the JP movies aren't scientifically accurate and it's actually explained in JW.

I'm neither for nor against feathers on my dinos, but I do find this hilarious

My personal favourite dinosaur movie isn't Jurassic Park, but

 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Hopefully they add the feathers in the sequel, which will be less nostalgic driven.

[zackzack]

$400M prediction? $500M? Whatever happens to a humble $300M+? What's wrong with $350M???

[Dementeleus]

Think it will beat MJ2 for 3rd highest of the year domestic?

Yes, I think it probably will.

I know I should have smiled at that pic, but...it's really stupid. Looks like something a Creationist would draw.

That's not accurate either, so don't worry lol.

Easily one of the best animated films of all time.

And Dat soundtrack!

Yeah, and I guess they'll make the raptors 2 feet tall too, right?

 

This is a movie, not a science lecture.

The opening of the movie with the dino bird flying around with the egg was pretty awesome.

Hopefully you are never put in charge of anything.
