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

[Krissykins]

I used to watch JP all the time when I was a kid. But not the sequels. I don't even think I've seen the third film.

Thankfully, Jurassic World was fab. Such a feeling of nostalgia. Loved it.

The issue parents never let me watch any films until I was 6 or 7 so I missed out on JP.

I remember getting a copy of twister on vhs and watching I ten times over the weekend lol.

I loved Twister as a kid. I watched so many times on VHS.

He aint no Captain Steven Hiller

 

True.  Malcom is much better.  

[Lordmandeep]

Twister got me into weather.

Those were good crowd pleasing disaster blockbuster...don't make it make em like how they used to.

So when do we get the numbers?

[Lordmandeep]

If it's not 210 plus it's a fudge.

I was a 90s kid and this film was so nostalgic for me.  I rarely watch movies on opening weekend, let alone opening day, but I bought tickets days in advance for this.  Most of my childhood friends feel the same way.

 

I thought the movie delivered.  Super corny and cringe-worthy dialogue but I don't really care because that end sequence was so worth it.  And Chris Pratt is mighty fiiiine.

If they were going to fudge they would have done that yesterday, when the headlines are made.

The kids who were born in the 90s see Jurassic Park as one of the defining films of their childhoods. I was only 4 months old when it came out, but remember watching it obsessively when I hit 5 years. It's what made me obsessed with dinosaurs as a kid.

 

I'm gonna finally watch it in 25 hours! Cannot fucking wait.

 

I think you will love it, especially the ending.

Oh please. If they wanted to fudge it, they would have declared a record with estimates to get their bragging rights.

They were very conservative when they could have reaped greater rewards for overshooting.

This isn't Paramount, it's Universal, and I'm gonna trust their number.

[redfirebird2008]

Frankly, zero fucks given. Tracking was 110-125 and it's opening well over 205. That is as fudge-worthy for a new record as anything we've seen.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I want the actual numbers.

[keysersoze123]

Kudos to Universal. Its Paramount who are serial fudgers having done it twice for just Transformers !!!!

[Lordmandeep]

I am not putting on a tin foil hat but dealing with 100 of millions of dollars and ow broken by 1% is well ...

So I hope for 210+

207.5 would be jokes

You guys make me feel so old.   :ph34r:  

 

I skipped class and sneaked out of my school's service door with a few enthusiastic friends to see JP. I was in HIGH SCHOOL.

 

Best time at the cinema for all of us, well worth missing a few lessons. I even went to see it for the second time, first time in my life paying for the same movie twice.

Every time Lordmandeep dislikes a movie, he comes up with it underperforming in Canada, but never was able to deliver a number to proof it.

That's quite an achievement and still he's the center of the discussion again and again.

[redfirebird2008]

T-Rex is the star of the JP franchise IMO. Spielberg even realized it when they were finishing JP.  He changed the ending to give the TRex the hero shot at the end. What an incredible decision that was.

 

 

Yep. T-Rex money shot at the end of JP1 is legendary.

I apologize I live in canada

I give the movie 8 out of ten and I am not hater.

So you just be silent before you make a greater mockery of yourself.

Even then, the two most watched series finales in HBO history only got 10 million each, the Sopranos and SATC.

Entourage only did 3.1 million.

And? Game of Thrones is their biggest series ever. The fifth season premiere scored 8 million viewers, way more than any other episode of the Sopranos and SATC. Edited June 15, 2015 by Chaz

The fudge arguments get so old.  It's part of the deal when tracking BO.  People need to give it up already.
