Lol, that's right he does. I can't be expected to remember the details of a movie like Jurassic World! 

 

I don't think the screenwriter remembered those details by the midpoint.

Remember early Saturday when Avatar fans had briefly expressed a since of hope with some reports of Saturday numbers going as low as 60m or under?  Lawl

Avatar and JW both better than SW.

I may actually still prefer Avatar to TFA. Haven't decided yet. I know I prefer Avatar's world building and immersion to almost any other movie. 

 

Hell no to JW though.

Do you plan on seeing it at any point during the holidays? 

 

Tomorrow early afternoon hopefully. Then maybe again in January when me and the gf are reunited.

Don't blame SW fans for crapping on Avatar. You're just perceiving it as such because it seems like just about everyone on this board is a SW fan right now.

Hate the quality of Avatar, plot, etc (which is silly since most would honestly say they enjoyed it the first time they saw it), but respect the BO run. That's my plea to the fellow nerds on here.

I'm an Avatar and Star Wars fan.  Star Wars more so.  

 

But it what I'm really a big fan of is seeing a $1 Billion domestic grosser.

Jw is not iconic in any way.

 

TA has the circle shot, Avatar has epic special effects. 

[ChiSoxRox]

I don't dislike Avatar, but I find it to be a visually beautiful rendering of a very bland story.

Avatar was also way more ballsy of a project. Although I'll admit years ago I was trashing TA in its likelihood for being too big of a clusterf*** & it turns out BvS will be the REAL clusterf*** the GA hates.

I wonder if Star Wars will become the top grossing film of the year by New Year's Eve

I will tell you this no one talks about JW past its good fun okay.

 

TA, TDK, Avatar and SW7 have lots of buzz memes and such attached to it.

 

The point is JW was a huge hit but was likely the least non fanboy based massive hit of the current decade. Meaning there is no core base of fans who will talk about the film for all time. 

 

I am not saying JW was not popular or liked but I think like the other films I listed it wont be remembred like a 1993 Jurassic Park.

 

Frankly JW just showed us the potential of wide appealing blockbusters that are not based on a devoted fanbase with 2015 prices.

JW is such an epic mess the more I see it. Don't get me wrong, I think it's dumb summer fun, but man is it dumb summer fun.

JW has more or at least the same number of memes around the Internet than the first Avengers. Just go to a place like 9gag and you will notice that. And those two scenes above everyone remembers. Just like the circle shot or Hulk punching Thor in Avengers. Same shit. Both are essentially the same. I know you are a crazy Marvel fanboy so you will never admit it but it is the truth

I just bought IMAX 3D tix for Saturday. My 3rd viewing. Oh my.

[MovieMan89]

Chris Pratt's Raptor pen, arms out scene is pretty much on the same level as TA's circle shot for modern iconic scenes. Same with the Raptors running by the motorcycle and the giant water dino eating the flying one. For better or for worse, the movie is memorable.

Pretty much defines 2015

 

Messy blockbuster but wide appealing = big dollars.

JW is very much iconic. Don't get the hate for it.

I can't wait to get home and have Tele's package in my hands.
