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

[Mango]

One great thing about a huge new opening weekend is that it generally brings in a slew of new members.

[Travod]

Why would people buy tickets in advance?

Dafaq? So you don't drive to the theater and get turned away.

[Killimano3]

So you're only a loser then...

 

Do you have nothing better to do then to poke at people?

The really awesome thing about this weekend is it just kept building and building.

Right up to the last stretch we still weren't sure where this will end up.

No one saw this coming, no one was even close.

So big, but also so unexpected. Truly a legendary weekend. Had such a blast spending it with you all!

Going back to earlier in this thread, watching our predicts go from 150 to 180 to 200 to OW record is marvelous.

386 for TDKR. We're about to hit 387. 400 should happen sometime tomorrow.

Nice.

Raptors are badass. Had one of those fossil claws when I was kid. Can you imagine trying to deal with them in real life? Glad they went extinct and turned into falcons.

Work is closed today due to Raptors being spotted in the area. Please stay inside all day until further notice.

I LOVE THIS WEEKEND!!!

 

Friendly competition is great for the industry. Now, we can expect Disney and other companies to double-down and get some good quality stuff out! 

[Killimano3]

Happy 387

I think you'll find BKB is the one doing the poking lol.

I don't know what's more impressive: Jurassic World breaking the record for overall opening weekend in June, or this thread breaking the weekend thread record with banned derailments!

New weekend numbers thread page count record.

 

We are in uncharted territory now.

[FTF]

$212m ow! I like that #

I think mods were pretty lenient regarding derailments in this thread. They realized weekends like this don't come around too often.

 

Also, June used to hold the OW record before, so not that surprising that a June movie can break the OW record, just that it came through JW which no one saw coming.

Now, we can expect Disney and other companies to double-down and get some good quality stuff out! 

 

I don't think that's how this business works.

This weekend (and other things) inspired me to break out the watercolors.

Going back to earlier in this thread, watching our predicts go from 150 to 180 to 200 to OW record is marvelous.

 

And before that people were happy when it's locked to break MOS's puny June OW record....

[PDC1987]

I don't know what's more impressive: Jurassic World breaking the record for overall opening weekend in June, or this thread breaking the weekend thread record with banned derailments!

It's actually the record for weekend threads after derailments were no longer allowed, so that's a moot point lol.

 

Still, IT'S A RECORD!

I know I should probably wait for actuals before asking this, but I'm not sure what the most overall "impressive" weekend of all time is. In the heat of the moment it's easy to pick this, but TA1, TDK, THG, and SM1 were all very very impressive.

[passerby]

I don't think that's how this business works. 

 

 

Boooooo. That's how all businesses should work. That's why monopolies are lame.
