LaneFair Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I fail to see how JW being the 4th entry (not sequel) in 22 years makes it less special than a film that was the culmination of 5 previous films in 4 years. Simple. The five previous films of the past 4 years did not have the team ups in every movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Has this been posted?

Aplandg Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Godzilla was the Prometheus of last year. I was slightly panicked that Mad Max would be the Godzilla/Prometheus of this year. Thankfully that didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Right after TPM finished its initial run, this is what the Top 10 looked like: As I said, 400 was even more rare at the time than 600 is today. Original Star Wars was only over 400 due to a re-release in 1997. TPM was just the second film to reach 400 in its original run along with Titanic. And just like JP4, TPM was the 4th movie in a 22 year old franchise with a ton of nostalgia. I just think it's a credit to the original films and shouldn't be poo-pooed. Besides, JP4 is probably not going to get to 600 anyway. Edited June 17, 2015 by redfirebird2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 #JurassicWorld is the biggest opening of all time! Experience the adventure: http://t.co/By621D2Vya https://t.co/9UdDV1j4XF — #JurassicWorld (@JurassicPark) June 16, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC1987 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Simple. The five previous films of the past 4 years did not have the team ups in every movie. And? None of the previous 3 JP films had an open park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplandg Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 For whatever reason, I never felt that The Avengers should be comparable to Titanic or Avatar. I prefered TDK being third place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfran43 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Godzilla was horrible. It was straight shit to me. I actually enjoyed the 1998 crapfest version more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYer4Life Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I remain in awe of Titanic's $600 million gross as it completely obliterated anything that had come before it. Even using the word obliterate to describe the box-office records Titanic smashed seems like an understatement. For the movie to not only gross over $400, $450, $500, $525, $550, $575, $600 million during an initial run when the nearest total gross for a movie during an initial run was about $250 million less is mind-blowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplandg Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 And I have to say, I'm getting the feeling JW will cross the $600m mark by the time it's done. It's a fun crowd pleaser that is enjoyable to re watch and it still has two more weekends before direct competition from Terminator (which I can't see making much more than $50m max OW). Also, the "biggest opening" buzz will surely up the curiosity factor for those who were more hesitant to go see the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time I questioned whether it would ever be beaten. Granted I was young then and didn't fully understand inflation, nor could have predicted 3D.

KATCH-2D2 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Just in case anyone missed it: Rth liked this post of mine: Was that the real Rth and when did he like your post? Would it break another record if it stayed flat? BTW don't want to turn this into Godzilla tread but it was one of my favourite movies last year. What a great thriller.

redfirebird2008 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Would it break another record if it stayed flat? Needs a 17.5% drop to set a new record at $20.87m for "regular" Tuesday (non-opening). http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/nonopening.htm?page=Tue&p=.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
