JURASSIC WORLD WEEKEND ACTUALS | TRIPLE RECORD!!!! (DOM - 208.8M; OS - 315.3M; WW - 524.1M). DOWN GOES AVENGERS.

[superduperm]

The forum member Xiayun at World of KJ, who is well known for his analysis and predictions, is saying he thinks 650 is going to happen. I honestly would not be surprised at this point. After you go from 125 tracking to 208 weekend total, it's hard to be shocked by anything else haha.

If this beats TA1, it will arguably be the greatest BO story of all time, IMO.

[redfirebird2008]

AOU directly followed a $624 million grosser though, more frontloading I would imagine.

 

That's an excellent point. JP4 made over $190m on the weekend without previews. Hard to imagine it collapsing to the point it fails to reach at least TDK type total.

[Fancyarcher]

Seriously. I just saw it with the kids (newly out of school) and we all loved it. No, it wasnt shakespere, but its perfectly worthy of taking the crown.

 

I actually enjoyed JW myself. It's quite shocking and unexpected however how it managed to break Avengers opening weekend record. Nobody saw that coming.

Eh, I dunno. It's still amazing, but not nearly as amazing as (IMO) PASSION OF THE CHRIST, or MY BIG FAT ETC, or HOME ALONE.

If it DID naturally get to $650 Universal better pull an Avatar with it and do a little re-release at the end of its run, in order to get it past Titanic.

If it beats TA1 domestic and WW, I will bend my knee in submission to our new Dino overlords.

Ahem, TITANIC.

If it does $600m, then it'll do almost 80% of the admissions of JP1. That is fucking mental. A massive success would have been the film doing 40%...but this is on a whole different level.

 

I remember being shocked when TDK improved on the admissions of Batman 89. Around 2-3 weeks before release, BOM had done the July preview in which they had said that Batman 89 was still the highest admissions in the Batman film series and it adjusted to 400M+ (don't remember the exact figure). So when TDK smashed that number, I was completely surprised. 

[CJohn]

Next time I am gonna cry is if this hits 100M next weekend. If this passes the first Avengers total is gonna be the most legendary box office run of all time. 

[JohnnyGossamer]

Given the zeitgeist is now, how big's the decline for JW2? $200M less? Also, who's gonna direct the next one? Bong Joon-ho? I kid...

Why does everyone forget Avatar? Someone mentioned yesterday in one of the threads that JW could hold the record for US + China gross if it makes 620M domestic to add to the 230M or so it will make in China, completely forgetting that Avatar made 760M domestic alone.

[GiantCALBears]

So we have a record setting weekend & it's 6pm on the east with no change on mojo except for that terrible article. Wouldn't shock me if the site permanently shuts down at some point in the near future.

I was internally discounting Cameron movies. Dude is on another level entirely.

[Warmaster506]

Really enjoyed the film. It was fun and people were cheering.

Avatar is behind Titanic but still one of the most impressive runs. Titanic is by far the most impressive in my opinion.

I'm rooting for this to pass Avengers! Disclaimer: I'm not a big MCU fan. 

[Goffe]

He's right, though. The Minions are super manufactured:

Great read. Another example I would like to point out is Brave's triplets, they only existed to create lighter moments in the film through the use of physical humor.

 

btw, Minions are the worst, I can't with people who find them funny.

True, but the movie showdowns they have are enthralling.  Can't wait to continue following the Jurassic Park III vs. Jurassic World. That will be quite a battle.

[Ozymandias]

So I guess legs for this will be decent?  People seem to like it a lot more than Godzilla already.

Just imagine if it were Bong. That would be amazing!
