Is Spy even going to get to $100m?

 

 

It already lost over 500 theaters in only it's 2nd weekend, so most likely it won't get there.

Wasn't that a mistake on BOM?

Universal isn't going to follow the Cinematic Universe formula.

They aren't followers which is why they didn't reboot the Furious or JP franchise.

[TServo2049]

But Thomas Tull still seems to want that Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe franchise...

Now now now, lets not get ahead of ourselves. Classic Monsters Universe?

 

I really do hope Hollywood tries to copy JW and makes more creature movies. Lets go Old Lace.

Looking at the 3D share, it is clear there was plenty of spillover audience. Highest 3D share for a big opener in quite some time

@ERCboxoffice: 3D accounted for 48% of JURASSIC WORLD's gargantuan $204.6M debut in North America.

I also hope to see a revival of more dormant franchises. BTTF4, yes!

I just checked BO.com and The-Numbers and they still have it at 3700 theaters, so I guess you're right.

They might not be followers but they still don't have original ideas. A part 7 and a part 4.

Japan is pretty much not taking US mega blockbusters seriously.

they take all camerons epics seriously. Aka titanic and avatar

[TServo2049]

I've been reading DisneyWar, and when they talk about Michael Ovitz and CAA, it seems that a lot of "original" ideas came out of the 80s-90s way of doing things, the packaging of scripts and talent (especially name actors and directors), the films being shopped to the studios at the development stage. Studios didn't always come up with these "original ideas", they often bought them. I got the same impression from reading Tales from Development Hell.

Things just don't work that way anymore, there's no studio bidding wars for potential blockbusters, there's few competing attempts at the same high concept. It's just that instead of one film being the trendsetter and setting off "X on a Y" copycats (some of which we treat like they were originals, when they were literally pitched as "X on a Y"), we get attempts to build and sustain and revive franchises that worked before.

So Legendary's first summer movie with Universal made the gross of its first summer movie with WB in three days.

[Bonenash]

[filmscholar]

BTTF4, NO!

 

This was the closest we've gotten when Christopher Lloyd guest starred on "Sin City"

amen grey ghost. And how are my my friend. Can you believe this comeback!

[Krissykins]

If Universal didn't fudge Pitch Perfect 2's weekend number, Jurassic World would have beat the OW record.
