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

[PDC1987]

Deadline says 66,8 M Saturday

Goes along nicely with their $78.6 million Friday projection from this time last night, i.e. it's worthless.

JW is way too scary for families, I think

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I am trusting Rth.

The tone change was really strange I will say, but how can families not like that fight at the end?

[Deathlife]

I want RTH to be right.

I want this movie to eat up the weekend record.

(This is like 2012 all over again when The Avengers had that insane opening weekend. Estimates just kept going higher and higher).

Not rly.

They reported 78-80 at 10:30 Pacific, so let's average it and call that 79. Ended up at 82.8, which is 4.8% higher.

66.8 x 1.048 = 70. Right at the low end of Rth's range. Would love to see it go higher though.

I don't know, I remember their late Saturday estimates being pretty accurate (in general I mean).

What was this?

 

Estimates had Fast and Furious opening at $72.5 million on it's opening weekend in 2009, bigger than The Lost World's $72.1 million opener (then Universal's record).  The actual opening weekend for Fast and Furious was $70.95 million, coming in just under.

The F&F franchise ended up breaking the record anyways with each subsequent installment.  Well, until tomorrow.

Are you serious? I'm a 20 year old man and I was freaked out at times. This is not a movie for this 8/Under

All of the kids at my showings seemed fine.

A lot of times they don't report at all on Saturday until 2 AM Pacific. That's 2 hours from now, so it's possible they are still running a bit behind and not getting completely accurate info.

[PDC1987]

With rth not changing his range and the sellouts we had, this aint gong down to $67 million.

[BoxOfficeZ]

Well what do I know, I saw The Thing as a 10 year old kid and loved it and was terrified.

If Deadline is right and this falls below $200M, I think I might be done with this forum for a long time. That's the second time this summer I've been disappointed by a massive OW due to the excessive hype here.

Just proves Universal has no concept of fudging numbers like the other studios do. If they did F&F would have gone past TLW, F&F6 would have hit $100 ad F7 would have hit $150.

Its not missing 200m even with 66 sat. Unless saturday drop is really harsh.

It's all part of the experience.

This movie is not scary for kids around 10. It's good for them to be exposed to some safe scares. You don't want them to grow up to be total pussies.
