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

Hi. 

Long time follower and reader

 

I love box office forums.

You get opinions so hard that people protect them like their children

Fanboys will not be moved from their love of that certain genre

 

When a movie opens over 50-60% OVER its estimate, you take your hat off to it no matter what

If it beats the record, please all Avengers fanboys, congratulate it.

 

Although the US opening used to be the biggest thing for a new movie, to the industry it is now secondary.

Furious 7 amassed $350m in the US. A staggering amount for it's genre. But it took £390m in China! $1.1bn overseas in total.

In fact if you look at the worldwide figures, the top movies have high 60%'s / early 70%'s overseas.

It used to be 50/50 or in favour of the US market. Not any more.

 

Whoever was comparing ET to Titanic's box office needs to compare apples with apples

You can't compare two movies box office 15 years apart. The industry had changed so much in that time.

 

Welcome to the forums!

However why not.

Why was it not as big here.

It's a question that has not been answered and makes no sense to me or anyone.

 

It doesn't make sense. There are plenty of dinosaur discoveries and museums in Canada. You guys just blew it this time.

[Bishop54]

Well the opening weekend record in canada is more then safe.

You get lumped in with us, like it or not your country contributed to the record.

[JennaJ]

Still such a large divergence never exists for mega hit films

 

Welcome to the first time then.

Well after failing on Friday we did our share on Sat and Sunday for sure.

[redfirebird2008]

If I wasn't so damn tired from working all night and the laundry I have to do, I'd go see this this afternoon.. Doesn't look like that's going to happen til next weekend..

 

Just make sure you see it on the biggest screen possible. I guarantee you will love it, especially the Mososaurus.

[Lordmandeep]

Lol I am not saying this won't do well.

I see 100 million 2nd weekend and near 600 million total.

Canada was simply not as interested in a pale echo of a 90s classic.

 

JW looks mediocre as hell, why peeps be flocking to watch such is beyond me, but whatevs.

Have you watched it? I bet you would love it given your usual tastes.

Don't disappoint us..Monday actuals....Don't disappoint us.

 

Hope we see the numbers real soon.

[Lordmandeep]

It is not that baffling.

Just imagine tf2 with 3d and a better movie.

Would open to 200+ and do over 500 domestic.

Wow, JW disappointed here. It got the only the 8th highest OW of the year  It made less than 1/3 of FF7, less than 1/2 of 50 Shades, and it also opened lower than Jupiter Ascending, Taken 3, Mad Max, Age of Ultron and Seventh Son. Its OW is also way lower than Godzilla last year, both in USD and admissions. And I thought this would be one of the frontrunners for the year...

[redfirebird2008]

There's a theatre located in Chesterfield MO. about 30 minutes from me called The GALAXY 14 CINE that has a 4000Sq foot screen... I should see it on that... I'd love to see this in IMAX, but fuck 3D.. Fuck that shit..

 

I saw it in 2D RPX, which is Regal's version of IMAX. Definitely kicks a lot of ass on a big 2D screen. Go for the 4,000 footer in 2D when you get a chance.

Your loss my dear

I'll be checkin it out sometime this week.

[DeeCee]

Rth, what's the Canada/USA breakdown for JW opening weekend compared to AoU or FF7?

[Bishop54]

I'm extremely proud of this movie and franchise. I'm proud and happy for Colin Trevorrow. The studio took a leap of faith in him and he rewarded them, and us, in spades.

No problem. It's gonna be the biggest movie of the year in most other territories, so there's that.
