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

[redfirebird2008]

No JACK.. I don't have to consider it cause it's tossed around too loosely in this day and age in an effort to keep your favorite movie afloat when it's about to drown.. AOU will pass TDKR shortly and you'll all say "No BKB, it has to get to 470M for AOU to beat it instead of 448M" Nonsense..

 

You have a weekend of $200m and likely total run over $500m right here slapping you in the face with evidence that ticket sales do matter. JP1 was mega huge. $357m doesn't do it justice given the big ass increase in ticket prices since 1993 and to pretend otherwise is willfully stupid. There was a massive built-in fanbase for Jurassic World and it has been in hibernation for a long time with the franchise itself.

Poor Ultron. Not one, but two movies came out of left field and stole its thunder.

Paramount needs to reboot Rugrats for sure. Rugrats is the definition of the nineties.

Whatever they do, it's never gonna top Rugrats in Paris.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!

IS THIS FOR REAL?

[Asyulus]

Every weekend thread starring Chris Pratt since GOTG has posts like "WHOA, THAT NUMBER, SO BIG!!"

[baumer]

JW was awesome. some cringe worthy moments with effects and story at the end, other than that, it rocked.

 

 

it re-booted the series well

 

200 million dollar weekend?

 

maybe 150 but 200 million?

 

Deadline over-projecting again

 

BTW!  Mad Max will come in slightly higher than projected this weekend, some reason deadline loves to low ball that film.

 

You're not saying that JW is going to come closer to 150 than 200, are you?

[ecstasy]

82m. That's more than Avengers right?

[spizzer]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!

IS THIS FOR REAL?

 

I KNOW RIGHT!?

 

At first I thought the WWR thread was a WWW thread and that 83M was the running weekend projection.

[baumer]

Sorry, but you have to consider this.

 

The dollar is not what it used to be and more theaters overseas than ever.

 

It's really hard to say but ...................

 

 

THAT'S A FACT, JACK!!

 

What does that mean?  

[Blankments]

Tell em he needs to be on time or you're leaving without him..

I'm actually going ahead and buying the tickets in like an hour lol. We both don't want to miss it but IDK when he'll arrive

Pretty sure last weekend they overestimated. I'm thinking it's going to be sub-4m.

I Understand how you feel but it must be considered as a fact.

 

the film that came CLOSE to anything is Avatar and Titanic

 

Not even AVENGERS is considered

 

 

 

Adjusted PER dollar today vs then

Amount of seats and theaters vs then

Amount of theaters overseas vs then

 

 

Ticket price inflation

 

etc...

 

let's look at the top films adjusted talking that into consideration.

 Give him a break Avenger's OW record is in jeopardy. That's huge.

[MattW]

This movie will take two days to beat every 3-day OW prediction from every single user on the forum.

When the first trailer came out my first thought was 70-90m for opening weekend.  Lol.  And really for any movie costing 150m an opening of 70-90 is good.

[kayumanggi]

82m. That's more than Avengers right?

 

Pssst. It's 83 M. And yes, it's more than TA.

 

Hmm. I saw someone said 81 M for TA. lol It's actually 84.4 M.

I think the best thing is when a group of 10 people show up right at showtime and they act surprised that they can't find 10 seats together.

[Alpha]

I'm going to my local theater this afternoon to see it. Hopefully I don't get trampled.

Yea, but we've been through this all before.  None of those movies had to deal with what films have to deal with today.  Just last night my room mate was telling me he's going to strt looking for a good copy of JW to dl so he can watch it on his computer.  I implored him to see it at the theater as the experience there is so much better than a 12X18 screen.

 

And I know you are new here but this debate has been going on for about a decade now.
