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

[Poseidon]

So I guess, against all other opinions, I'm saying, that JW might hit Basketball and GoT just as hard, as you guys think they might hit JW.

We should have a close look in a couple of days.

[Heretic]

OMG. UK Saturday is about £7m ($11m). I think only skyfall and DH2 were bigger, but I'm not even sure about that. Unreal.

[PDC1987]

Seriously. JP was a merchandising juggernaut in the 90s.

As far as I know the Jurassic Park Series 1 Kenner toy line is still the highest selling individual action figure line ever.

I sense like avatar and Ta

after a year or two people will try to act cool and hipster and say JW was nothing special on this forum.

It's just what happens. Many Marvelites went on the most annoying rants about Marvel's success and other studios' failures when they were on top. It's deserved in many ways. So the cycle goes

 

We know what is going to happen right?

 

JW only broke the record because of Chris Pratt who was Star Lord in GOTG (which starred Djimon Hounsou who acted in Elephant White with Kevin Bacon)

[Ozymandias]

Trailers have done that movie no favors, looks terrible.

 

Yep, even if does somehow do decent numbers, its gonna be the worst movie of the summer I bet.

Avengers needs no defense, it made its money. But it's getting beaten by the competition and people are just gonna have to deal

 

All fans have had to deal with this before- Potter fans, the Transformers fans (yes, there used to be Transformers fans here, lol),

Pirates fans, LotR fans, Nolanites. It's time for the Marvelites to take their lumps. Everyone assumes "their" franchise will stay on top forever, until it doesn't

 

And they make sure to post about it endlessly while it's on top

Been to Valley View Center many times. Never once saw a line, much less a crowd, until #JurassicWorld. pic.twitter.com/HXLQlROxS0

I watched the movie and actually payed attention to what was sexist...

Um I did not notice anything what did I miss?

Only thing I can think of is how...

Bryce Dallas Howard's character is the typical works too hard woman who just needs to loosen up and get her some Chris Pratt lovin and D and her life will be all better, etc.

It Ant-Man fails to do 200M that is where everything falls apart and panic runs wild on the streets (I don't believe it will fail to reach the mark, tho).

Yes. I dont think we will wait 2 years. I already said that 3 days back.

[Lordmandeep]

I will say this the finale of the movie is actually better then the orginal.

It's special at the box office. I haven't seen the film yet but I'm definitely not expecting it to be in the same league as JP1.

[grim22]

Remember how Age of Ultron repeated the third act of the first movie but in a more nondescript and bland location with more scenes of them saving civilians that no one asked for? that was such a cool movie.

 

 

I still don't get why we needed so much OMG WE NEED TO SAVE THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE DO OR ELSE WE DIE WITH THEM BECAUSE WE ARE GREAT HEROES scenes. 

When we talk about the end of the Superhero Era in the future, we will talk about this weekend.

 

We all know why we got those scenes, we didn't need them but we knew we would get them. The internet fans are basically single handedly responsible for those scenes happening.

Poor Arnold, his Terminator movie is gonna do pathetic numbers.

We know which 90's nostalgia people wanted.

Terminator is from 80's.

ps: Can you tell me the lottery numbers?
