The age of dinos finally comes.

208 to 210 range seems like it.

However closer then I thought.

Yikes, closer than I was hoping for.

It's deadline lol. We still don't know what the actual will be, just that it's a record.

[ecstasy]

Holy Moly! Opening Weekend record went down.  Did anybody think it was gonna be this huge? Glory! What can you say? Records are made to be broken.  HP had it, then Avengers, and now JW.  Never say never but I think this one holds for a while.  Star Wars your move.

...

I was really invested in the Jonah Hill romance

[Lordmandeep]

Hmm appears Ta may hold onto the Sunday record...only thing left standing sigh

Legend weekend everyone was wrong dramtically ....

I would contest that with multiple quotes:

 

"Life will find a way."

 

"If The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists."

 

"Must go faster."

 

lol, he used that one in ID4 aswell, in which Hiller had a better response

 

'Stop side seat driving'

If its 209, must be around 57-58. 

 

RECORD!

I think December will hurt SW7. It's a month known for legs. Which is why a $150-160 million OW with a 4x-4.5x multi is far more likely than $225 million with a 3x. 

 

BvS, Civil War (if it gets critical acclaim/buzz), GotG2, SW8, Infinity Wars 1/2, and Justice League 1/2 all have a decent shot, though. Especially if it was possible for JW. 

[Jessie]

Yeah but that is kind of because one of either Jurassic Park or Schindler's List is quite possibly the best ever 'second best film by a director in a calendar year' that there will ever ever be,

 

Spielberg is just a fucking genius. Highest grossing movie of all time and a best picture winner in just one year lmao.

[Moviedweeb]

A record is a record and this was a glorious weekend for the box office and those who follow it (among many other things). Congrats to those who were a part of Jurassic World's opening weekend.

[Lordmandeep]

If it's 209 weekend would be

83

70

56

[BoxOfficeZ]

This was definitely my most fun time on this forum in awhile. Maybe since TA1. The shock and the constant uptick in predictions really made this weekend. 

[Jack]

Finally! Totally deserve it!

[PDC1987]

Spielberg is just a fucking genius. Highest grossing movie of all time and a best picture winner in just one year lmao.

Better yet that's how he chose to bounce back from the disappointing, but still $100 million domestic grossing lmao, Hook.

[Fake]

Congratulations to JW for getting the OW record.

Let's not celebrate till Actuals...

OK, the trades are reporting on this already, not waiting for a final number. Variety's front page is:

 

‘Jurassic World’ Scores Biggest Opening Weekend in History

 

So Awesome.

THR:

Box Office: 'Jurassic World' Stomps to Biggest U.S. Debut Ever With $209M-Plus

[Lordmandeep]

If 209 is the number opening weekend beaten by 0.77 %.

I don't think it ever been that close?
