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

Who cares about AoU. This is about JW. It's gonna thump 'em all. Bats, Supes, Iron Man, Katniss, Bella, Harry. Chris who? Joss who?

Now, how big's Guardians 2 gonna open with Pratt's star power? $175M+?

Calling it now... New OW champ. JW's got it. Cat's in the bag... Bag's in the river.

[JJ-8]

It does make 1 wonder that if TLW were released today instead of 1997, if it would've grossed 200M OW instead of the 72M it did??

 

no doubt about it i'd say given it was a OW record at the time itself which it held onto until Harry finally knocked it off some 4 years later....

[JennaJ]

However who cares about opening weekend record lol. That was never a goal.

Yeah, nobody cares about opening weekend record here. That's why this thread is this short and uneventful. We don't care about records at all.

[baumer]

and i'm pretty sure i've got both of the JW questions you gave me correct 

 

1) will JW open above 110m... err... done deal

2) open to 9m+ in australia.... 2.7m OD .. it's heading for 12m / 13m + at the moment so yeah.. (considering i answered yes to both now all i need is Entourage to crash by > 60% friday to friday and Aloha to bump by at least 20% on sat and the individual points are mine   

 

You might be the only one who gets your individs right.

We don't care because it's not MCU.

[baumer]

Well, if RTH saying it's at 80-83, it's at 80-83.  

[Noctis]

^ Whatever dim hope you have of this falling in expectations so that you feel better about AoU is not gonna happen.

$160m drop lol

[theultimatebiu]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves before the official numbers are posted, otherwise, we'll have to contend with the so called "disappointment" like we did with AOU and the early numbers posted for that and weren't even close in the end.. That was a clusterfuck of a weekend..

 

That weekend was hilarious.

[BoxOfficeZ]

At this point the number is about as accurate as it is before official estimates. 

[baumer]

And yes, cinemascore means not too much, but this was given an A.  

[Wafflecakes]

The film ending my lurker status.

 

Anyways. I am blown away by this result. I was expecting 100-120m.

I agree. But, instead of the pettiness of those you mention let's revel in two OW over $191M+ in the same blockbuster season. Unreal. Both gargantuan beasts.

[CoolioD1]

How does Joss Whedon feel about all this?

[JennaJ]

I just hope that if estimates come in at, say, 180m, people don't act as if it's somehow a disappointing number.

Disappointing is not a word that can be used with this anymore.  Most of the members here had this pegged at less than 120 mill OW.

Disappointing.

[Cynosure]

Disappointing.

 

:D

[baumer]

That's Excellent, but again, a far cry than 200M plus which proves we shouldn't get too excited before the official numbers come out.. Now Noctis, you look like an ass now for saying what you did now the movie comes in 20M less than what folks are thinking..

 

Deadline is spitballing.  They have no idea how much it will make this weekend.  And their number is way low if they think it won't make more than 180 mill off an 80 OD.
