Good night everyone

 

You've now said you're going to bed at least four different times.

 

This is a magical weekend.  No shame in burning the midnight oil!

Yes, I agree.  I saw in some early interviews that both Trevorrow and screenwriter Derek Connelly got defensive when they were accused of softening the raptors.  (To me, the raptors = Alien.  Death incarnate.  The idea of turning them into cutesy sidekicks with names was anathema to the very concept of the movie raptors - from Crichton's book onward.)  I saw this as potentially as pussi-fying to the raptors as AVP was to both the As and Ps.  

But they neither softened them very much, nor were lazy in how they did so.  They were clear that Pratt imprinted on them (as Hammond did) and that he was still terrified of them.  Here's Trevorrow talking about this very topic:

 

(Relevant part starts at 5m10s.)

 

Props to the Jews, btw: I had thought Trevorrow was a score for the gentiles.  Damn!  Another Hollywood blockbuster credited to the Chosen People.  Begrudgingly.

Man SS, looks older there. Hope he can keep making movies off another 15 years. He doesn't seem to be getting sick of it.

Was hoping for Inside Out to go up a bit, but hey, I was expecting a massive decrease yesterday so I'm still happy

TOD has always stood out to me much more than TLC does, and as such I decided not that long ago that I actually do prefer it. It has its flaws but it's very memorable. Unlike TLC which I enjoy when I watch, and then tend to forget most of it shortly after.

So let's guess the year. 2017?

For sure either that or 2018.

David Brennan, I was thinking about what you were saying earlier about JP4 possibly making a run for the ages. In a way it would be fitting. Titanic and Avatar were both written off before release. Overbudget, way past schedule, etc. JP4 had a ton of negative baggage from the fact the JP franchise died 14 years ago. No one gave this movie a chance in hell of doing something like this.

For sure either that or 2018.

I think 2018 is more likely

Was hoping for more for Inside Out, but that is still great.

Over 40M is massive for JW.

Go JW go....closing in for 2nd weekend record

105M if it holds about a 10% drop on Sunday.

Second weekend record is (almost) toast.

IO has nothing to be ashamed of. With large previews and a Tuesday figure that we don't even know, a sub-7% drop is great.
