Will JW do TDKR OD number ($75M Friday) or TA:AoU ($84M)?

[CaptainJackSparrow]

This also bolsters the chance of Chris Pratt being Indy.

[KATCH-2D2]

Wow... I didn't expect that number at all. What weekend number are we looking at right now? Can JW top FF7 ow?

[Jandrew]

HOLY SHIT

You better go stock up on some Corona to deal with this tonight.

[Avatree]

All stuff you can only point to in retrospect. Others would have countered that the franchise was tired and that they expected this movie to suck

umm, there have been quite a few of us who have expected this to be absolutely massive for quite some time. nothing to do with hindsight.

Its definitely in play. 

[K1stpierre]

I think we might get drunk Kelli tonight if Fri #'s are good......

Yeah, but on both ends it was mostly based on personal bias. You just happened to be right

[K1stpierre]

I think it will top FF7, I'd be surprised if it didn't.

[LexJoker]

JW will have a HUGE Worldwide OW, since it opened in China too along with most of the major markets..

[JohnnyGossamer]

Pratt is a monster. Box office alpha. I'm convinced now that Guardians will open to $175M+ DOM.

[John Marston]

looks like this overtake MOS for the highest opening weekend with an actor from Law & Order

[zackzack]

Those OW prediction that hovers around $400M globally may be pretty accurate

If it keeps up the great numbers it's doing atm, it could even do 500M OW on the high end.

[Avatree]

I laid out my reasons for this doing as good as it is doing quite some time ago. I don't see how it's "personal bias" when I'm not even a fan of the original Jurassic Park.

[PDC1987]

Dinosaurs are back in the mainstream! Plus, we have the Good Dinosaur on the way!

Hopefully this means more dino/creature films!

Universal should do a "shared cinematic universe" with films about the major cryptids in cryptozoology.

 

Bigfoot, Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, Chupacabra, Jersey Devil, Mermaid/Merman, Mokele-Mbembe, Mothman, Spring Heeled Jack etc solo films that lead to Avengers-style mash-up films. Throw lesser known cryptids in the movies for fun and they're golden.

Dinos > Bats & Supes
