Weekend Estimates: JW: 102 IO 91...RTH: Sun JW 38.3 | IO 25.3 with possible upsides PG 287, possible 107M for JW weekend

[Fanboy]

What records are possible?

Biggest June

Biggest summer

Biggest year

I think all of these have at least an 80% chance of happening. 

[Avatree]

JW is not beating Man of Steel OW this weekend.

[Chewy]

Everything for the rest of the summer will break out except for Ant-Man

[The Futurist]

Everyone loved Blue, the final

4-way monster battle

is driving the WOM, and the scene where Chris Pratt rides along the Raptors is pretty close to becoming iconic. 

 

EDIT: Yeah, and Nostalgia. 

 

I get all that but those numbers are batshit insane.

[Poseidon]

Biggest piece of T-Rex crap ever put on all the other movies out there.

Rexy really got them all. And he got them in style.

[redfirebird2008]

Didn't get any of the first three to the then all time record though...not even the masterpiece original.

Not that JW is locked to beat Avatar, but with that early Friday range and Father's Day it is now a contender for sure. That's just insane to think about.

Actually JP1 was the biggest initial run ever at the time.

[La Binoche]

I want IO to win just so we get more original movies from Pixar and not the Disney-mandated Cars 7: Turbo Springs. 

[cory]

Actually JP1 was the biggest initial run ever at the time.

No it famously fell $2M short of E.T.'s original run.

[Gopher]

I can't believe 70-90% jump until I see the finals. If it is I think Avatar's going down (which is fine by me, because Avatar is as humdrum a movie as Jurassic World).

Inside Out is gonna set the record for an original animated movie OW, which I guess makes up for it

[CJohn]

Everything for the rest of the summer will break out except for Ant-Man

Nah, not even nostalgia can save Terminator  

[Chewy]

Nah, not even nostalgia can save Terminator

 

I believe in Jai Courtney

[4815162342]

Fuck you Chewy

 

Now go beat his street ass

[Mango]

I want IO to win just so we get more original movies from Pixar and not the Disney-mandated Cars 7: Turbo Springs. 

 

It's too late. Jurassic World proved nostalgia on certain properties is box office steroids, you can bet your ass if Finding Dory breaks out the sequels will keep coming.

I've seen many night sellouts for Inside Out! I hope it gets a $30M Friday but anything above $27M is still awesome.

[MovieMan89]

Weren't ET and SW slightly bigger even unadjusted?

[CoolioD1]

Nah, not even nostalgia can save Terminator

there's one movie every summer that I can't escape the trailer for and this year it's terminator. I mean, goddamn. When I saw jurassic world I started looking at the floor when that trailer played because I just don't want it anymore. 

[The Futurist]

Nah, not even nostalgia can save Terminator

 

Maybe the CHOPPA scene will give nostalgia feels to people so Terminator Genesis doesn t tank.

[grey ghost]

LOL at Jurassic World shitting on both Marvel and DC.

It's shitting on everything except the king.

[redfirebird2008]

Weren't ET and SW slightly bigger even unadjusted?

Cory is right about ET but Star Wars was smaller.

[Fancyarcher]

Nah, not even nostalgia can save Terminator

 

Don't worry, when all else fails, Emila Clarke's boobs will save the day.
