Well, some thought TA1 would have a shot at the opening weekend record. JW however is literally out of the blue, nobody even hinted they thought it had a chance at the record.

Well, some everyone thought TA2 would have a shot at the opening weekend record. JW however is literally out of the blue, nobody even hinted they thought it had a chance at the record.

It literally doesn’t get any bigger than this! “Age of Ultron” is finally here, and it’s all set to shatter the box office opening weekend record of $207.4 million, set three years ago by the first “Avengers.” Anticipation is at a fever pitch among fans, thanks to Marvel’s incredibly strong brand and a mighty marketing campaign, which will combine to smash the old record by $20 million.

Let's just call AOU the anti-Jurassic World

[WrathOfHan]

Did any actors turn this down?

Josh Brolin, Garrett Hedlund, and John Krasinski were in talks for Pratt's role and David Oyelowo was in talks for Omar Sy's role

What idiot wrote that? Same idiot for Forbes who said "Jurassic World might come in a bit over my $100 million prediction, around $115 or $120 million".

 

Damn fools.

I hope not, because they'll never recover from this record breaking failure.

[BoxOfficeZ]

...

You thought it was going to do 210m?

Then again what do I know, I predicted 130m lol.

[ExcelFTW]

This could hold the record for quite a few years.

 

BVS will obliterate it soon enough. JW is Harry Potter 1, BVS will be Spider-man.

The cycle continues.

I said Thursday when it received 216,000 tweets I thought the record would be in play.

[PDC1987]

We still getting that 1am rth update? lol

[redfirebird2008]

Still long ass lines and sellouts being reported on Twitter for 10 PM and later shows on the West Coast. I think 58+ is happening.

[Killimano3]

The cycle continues.

 

Jurassic World will be beaten by Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them which will be beating by Spider-Man (2017) Which will be beaten by Pirates 5 or 6 

[redfirebird2008]

From a story line perspective jurassic world wasn't that amazing but from a nostalgic point of view it was fucking amazing

Well his last report was a bit over three hours ago. Not sure if he feels like giving another one this early.

[catlover]

I hope not, because they'll never recover from this record breaking failure.

 

But with a different lead actor, would it have broken the record? I mean, Chris Pratt was one of the reasons I was excited about JW.

Damn fools.

 

Let's not be revisionists here, 80% of the people on this board would've said the same thing if they were in charge of that Variety article. No need to call this guy an idiot.

[Killimano3]

speaking of Pirates 5 I just googled it and WTF they gave it a 320M Budget? O_o

 

Why the hell does this franchise cost so god damn much

Did you see the latest? Shock over it being sold out. Do these people not talk to anyone? They're on Twitter, do they not see any news somehow?
