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

[James]

Uh, it 100% is.

Sure, SW is that big OS... Jeez, I cant fuckin wait for December to shut all you people up. Damn Americans.

 

 

[Cochofles]

Pratt has more charisma than Worthington could ever dream of.

 

I agree, but the question was not about charisma; it was about OWs. Besides, whether people want to admit it or not, the openigs for both actors had more to do with the properties themselves than with anything the actors contributed. Let's not try to pretend that this massive JW opening is about people wanting to see "the latest Chris Pratt film," because it is not.

Yeah, we will see later this year who is right.

[Lordmandeep]

However it will not set the OW record for admissions for certain it seems unless Sunday goes beserk. 

[baumer]

Not exactly sure if this hit $70M on Saturday like we thought..

OK, but let's also not pretend like him starring in the lead role had absolutely nothing to do with this movie's success.

 

I could quite easily quote tons and tons of people who went to see it for him. It's impossible to say what percentage they represent, but to discount it as if it's completely meaningless is very short sighted.

 

A movie is always the sum of its parts. Nostalgia played a role, marketing played a role, Pratt also played a role.

Don't forget to mention that again. I haven't quite understood it yet after the 8177281th time.

[Cochofles]

Each movie with the exact same haircut, right?

Was shocked when i saw him in Man on a Ledge.

lol

 

 

I really like the guy, but even I admit that he is indeed as charismatic as balsa wood.

It wont break the opening weekend record for admissions. 

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Look...guys. I want the Saturday to remain with $70M.

 

Maybe Sunday was overestimated instead.....

[abra]

Universal have announced a $204,596,380 projected opening weekend for Jurassic World, leaving it just short of The Avengers all-time weekend record, which stands at $207,438,708. We haven’t seen official daily estimates yet, but the overall weekend projection suggests the film made around $67 million on Saturday—just behind The Avengers’ $69.5 million Saturday haul—and will pull in about $55 million today.

the difference is so assisting only 2 842 328

that everything can happen

It's too close to call either way. There are countless parameters we don't really know. How much kids tickets or discounted tickets etc.

Oh, c'mon let's not act like Pratt is some big movie star. His name is barely recognizable. But maybe he's bigger in the US.

Why? I bet it beat Avengers. 3D share will be much lower.

I will then be short-sighted and say that it is almost meaningless. When I see him in a live-action solo film that is not part of any beloved comic book universe or franchise and makes a substantial amount of money (not JW-kind of money, of course) based on his presence alone, then I will accept that he is certainly a draw. And I say this as someone who likes Pratt.

[Mojoguy]

Worthington may have been the lead in the biggest movie of all time, but he has done absolutely NOTHING worth mentioning afterward.

I mean, even Michelle Rodriguez has jumped back aboard the Fast and Furious franchise after Avatar.

[grey ghost]

The estimates could definitely move around. Anything could happen Sunday.

Based on Friday's number. Not Saturday.

[Elessar]

Sure, Jurassic Park was huge back in the day, so an opening over $100m would not have surprised me one bit but $200m+ is just crazy. By the 3rd film not many gave a crap about the franchise.
