THE DARK KNIGHT is still the most influential film of the new millenium, dollars irrelevant.

(I watch TNT. I call up #ED for some reassurance, hug my Interstellar copies on Blu Ray and cry myself to sleep)

And then you will have a nightmare like this.

Why wouldn't you want him to do another original film that he created himself?

Two reasons:

 

1. He's already doing an original film that I believe is currently shooting, so I'm okay on that front.

2. I want his career to blow up, and it seems like this is the way to do it in today's filmmaking society. I'm also convinced he'd do a great big budget film, and I know he's not going to get that without taking a franchise first, and I think Jurassic Park fits his sensibilities best.

No, if you wanna get nuts we start talking AVATAR multiplier

 

210 open/2.1 billion total

That's not nuts, that can only be summed up by this:

Fuck it! It's my day off and I want a me day, so I'm going to treat myself. 3D IMAX of Jurassic World, poutine for dinner and then Mad Max to wrap it up. Stoked! Haven't done a double feature in far too long.

The water signal just got turned on, expect a lecture on discrimination and sexism any second now.

[CoolioD1]

In part 5 they'll bring back characters from every movie, but only the kids.

[Blankments]

75M? Speed 2 cost 110M back in 1997.

... in my defense, I've never seen any of the Speeds lol

There's movies and there are events....Jurassic World is a must see event.

amen mr bishop. Scary what our juggernaut 2017 will do domestically. Seeing last jp was 14 or 13 yrs ago.

Marvel better get used to that phrase. The day a fucking Jurassic World remaquel (remake + sequel) is clearly the more original and fresh concept...

[Chewy]

The internet will be outraged if they recast any of those kids actors who they'll have to google

For the first time I can see what Lorfmandeep means about Toronto not being very busy. One theater in my city is busy as hell but the one im at is relatively quiet. The 7pm show is maybe 60% full...not overly busy for a Saturday night.

[Lordmandeep]

You guys are being silly of course there are sold out shows in Toronto.

It just not at all time levels.

It's not hate just more missing the fun when a film over performs and it ends up bewildering.

[Hatebox]

But will JW have cultural relevance?

 

[filmscholar]

500 Million Domestic is Possible.  OMG

 

 

 

 

It has to be poetic Justice as "E.T." may be knocked out the Top 10 Domestic for the first time in 33 years by a Spielberg Property.

Now this is nuts

You only need to see the first. One of the best films of the 90's. Incredibly exciting movie.

[JennaJ]

Wow, reading that JW sold out twitter feed. Awesome stuff. Too bad for those who can't get a show, of course, but awesome for BO.

 

I'll never understand the idea of not having reserved seats though. It seems so natural to book your seats in advance and not have to wait in line and arrive hours early. How is that not the norm yet?
