Yeah or nah on 200 million everyone? 

 

Yeah. 

[baumer]

I'm just so, so, so happy for Bryce Dallas Howard. Chris was always going to get big roles anyway, but Bryce really deserves bigger projects than she usually gets.

 

For the first time, I think she had sex appeal in the movie.  I've never looked at her that way before, but once she goes all Commando in the film, she's quite appealing.

And MJ2 probably will lose it's 3rd place DOM if this opens to 200M and AOU will finish third this yeah. That something I didn't saw comming.

I find it ridiculous that Disney will likely lose the year DOM despite having TA sequel and SW in a single year. I find it even more ridiculous that WB is still way ahead of Disney through this point of the year despite having none of their signature franchises  Who wouldve predicted that at the beginning of 2015.

 

Disny is not prolific enough. Beyond Pixar, & Marvel, their line-up is almost nonexistent compared to Warner & Fox. They seem to unable to develop their own live-action tent pole outside of the Pirates movies, examples: Tomorrowland, Lone Ranger & John Carter.

You're forgetting the fuss New Moon caused when it blew expectations way out of the water.

 

I guess but it didn't have that impact all those 6 movies had in my honest opinion. It is definitely still a huge shocker but SM was the first $100M OW. Shrek made $100M over 3 days after opening quite low on Wednesday. JW is looking to cross $200 OW (and possible OW record) when it was expected to struggle past half of that for 3 day. The Avengers was the first movie to pass $200M in 3 days. THG grossed $150M+ in 3 days without 3d and in March. American Sniper blew past $90 in 3 days when it had already been on limited release plus it was rated R.

I thought the Raptor taming thing looked silly and that JW would open to 90m ...

 

   

[kayumanggi]

Yeah or nah on 200 million everyone? 

 

Yeah. 

 

Not locked but likely.

[Maxmoser3]

Entourage is still doing pitiful looks like 35 million isn't going to happen

[FTF]

lol come on, we all know Universal is going to have $200m in that estimate headline tomorrow!

Regardless of if it's say $195m with Monday actuals.

[MrPink]

Yeah or nah on 200 million everyone? 

 

Yeah. 

 

I think at this point even if it doesn't quite do 200 million, Universal will fudge it. I think it'll get past it anyway.

[grey ghost]

Both Jurassic Park and Fast and Furious have had two of the biggest comebacks in movie franchise history.

But can the Jurassic Park franchise keep the momentum like the Furious franchise has been able to do?

Stunning redhead MILF.

Bravo Ron !

[redfirebird2008]

Yeah or nah on 200 million everyone? 

 

Yeah. 

 

I think it will get close enough to justify some fudge from Universal, but it would be awesome if it does something crazy like Druv posted earlier and hits 215.

[efialtes76]

83+70+60=213m

 

Poor Inside Out!

I also read somewhere that their plan is always to have 10 - 14 movies a year. They want to focus on big tentpoles and potential mid-sized hits. They don't usually have horror or comedy films.

First is Star Wars?

[Blankments]

One thing I love about big OWs is that other websites start quoting us as a source lol

Yep, good post.  I see what you mean.

 

But from personal memory, I remember having some heated discussions with Shawn, as close as 2 or 3 days away from the OD and he was still trying to convince me that NM wouldn't come close to 100 mill.  I only remember this because I opened a NM over 100 mill OW thread and for the first two months of it, I was basically a pariah.

 

So we just have different recollections of it's opening...prior to it opening.  

[GiantCALBears]

Relative to my own predictions, this is without question more shocking than any opening weekend in recent memory. Maybe ever.

 

A possible $200m? Maybe the all-time record? For a fourth movie in a franchise not named Star Wars?

 

Just stunning.

THE CREATOR IN THE HOUSE! Must be a big weekend.
