T-Rex would be ashamed at Universal's lack of courage. Show some guts! If it's close to 71 on Saturday then you fucking declare a weekend record on Sunday because it's a lot more likely to happen than not.

Count me in on the don't care about admissions

[MrFanaticGuy34]

But....what about Sunday?

 

It could actually be between 58-60M with actuals.

 

Better not be way lower than that.

Deadline:

 

"As more receipts solidified this AM, it turns out Saturday was even bigger than expected with $69.7M-70.8M per insider B.O. tracking reports."

 

RTH reported 70 basically at the same time Deadline reported 66.8...dumb SOB's.

 

As far as others have said, RTH reported that number hours later.

6TH UPDATE, Sunday, first post 7:20AM: Refresh for updates The opening weekend for Universal’s Jurassic World is being called at $204.59M, making the fourth dinosaur-run-amok theme park film the second biggest bow at the domestic B.O. of all-time, overtaking Disney’s Marvel Avengers: Age of Ultron‘s ($191.27M) and sitting right under the all-time opening champ Avengers which zapped $207.4M back in May 2012. But get this: Some B.O. pundits say that by the time Sunday is called, JW could actually rip Avengers‘ leotards off and become the reigning all-time U.S. opener stateside. This sends Universal from its third place spot on the 2015 domestic marketshare all the way to No. 1 past the $1B mark; the fastest for any major studio to hit that point this year. As more receipts solidified this AM, it turns out Saturday was even bigger than expected with $69.7M-70.8M per insider B.O. tracking reports. The anticipation Sunday is that JW will post a slip of -25%, giving it a Sunday well north of $50M.

 

Basically DeadLine saying we havn't got a clue what Sunday is going to be really.

 

And that would be accurate.  At this point there are about a dozen factors which will go into making up the Sunday number.  Hopefully spillover causes this to drop something insanely low like 15%.

But do not hate GoT since it's better than any movie franchise outthere right now

GoT's most recent season has been absolute trash. Sorry but it is the truth. Anyway, I don't think GoT alone would have been a problem. It is the combination of it and NBA that will screw Jurassic World.

most people only care about/read the estimates anyway since those make the headlines. dumb move by universal by not just declaring they got the record.

[BoxOfficeZ]

82.9

70.8

58.5 (-18%)

 

212.2

My guess for the record.

But it's then embarrassing if they announce the all time record on Sunday, then the actuals come out and they were wrong. Better safe than sorry.

[Lordmandeep]

This is dumbest weekend projection

Far less coverage of actuals

No he didn't. He was reporting 70-74 long before Deadline posted their nonsense.

[Mojoguy]

82

70

51

So a predicted 28% drop?

No way it drops 20m on Sunday. Universal is crazy if they really think that.

I really admire Universal.

I think it will be bigger news if this in fact did break the record.

I wish you'd stop saying that as if it's a done deal. 

[eddyxx]

JW is way too scary for families, I think

 

Yeah there were many scenes that had this 30 year old at the edge of his seat.

[baumer]

But....what about Sunday?

 

It could actually be between 58-60M with actuals.

 

It could be anywhere from 51-60....at this point, who knows.  

 

Monday is going to be a lot of fun.
