The Futurist Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Nobody saw Jurassic World coming, nobody, we were (I at least) were making fun of the trailer and it did Avengers business with batshit crazy walk ups. 250m-300M TOTAL dom I would have said was the best case scenario for JW back in May and it just went supernova. Go figure. As I said, Spielberg and Lucas still rule the world, 40 years on. But FA destroyed the December OW by nearly tripling it !!!!!!! Yeezus West ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had mixed reaction at first. Agreed. The Force Awakens is my 2nd favorite Star Wars film after my third viewing, and it's quite close to The Empire Strikes Back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 If the Sunday number is underestimated by 9-10M, I can't imagine Disney doesn't get creative with the accounting for Friday and Saturday. Some BS about previews coming in even stronger, or something. $250M is too much of a milestone to leave alone when you're that close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the beginning of the year it's always AOU vs SW7 for the crown of 2015 BO greatness. JW wasn't even tracking above Spectre or Minions.. People are thinking short term. They will understand what a beast The Force Awakens is after its second weekend. I've been to three completely packed sessions and the last one was today, in my hometown. My hometown doesn't have fully packed shows. Not ever. This broke the ow record on its first weekend, and it's just getting started. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure Wednesday and Thursday are good to steal from if necessary. Monday and Tuesday could both hit $30m. Leave them alone. Thursday will suck anyway due to Christmas Eve, so no one will give a shit if it's $1-2m lower. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepCSC Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Jurassic World is more impressive in that, "oh wow, these 1994 Rockets are pretty dang great" kind of way. TFA is impressive in that "Oh wow, these 1996 Bulls are destroying worlds" kind of way. One was a surprise, the other had Jordan. Both were dominant championship squads. But one is playing at a different level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
