JW is ticking upwards!

 

MT

1. I2 - 56.1%

2. JW:FK - 22.3%

3. O8 - 3.8%

4. Tag - 3.5%

5. Hereditary - 1.9%

 

Still, I2 only fell about a percent, it was mostly everything else that fell that boosted JWFK

OMG if we have two meltdowns within a month... will this place survive??

A possible sub 100 opening for Jurassic World 2 would put 300 million domestic in jeopardy. I'm not sure if this movie is getting a 3x multiplier.

A couple more showtimes were added.

 

Comps (the following are final totals before their previews, not at the same point in time):

541% of Blade Runner ($177.3M)

108% of Thor: Ragnarok ($132.4M)

70% of Justice League ($65.8M)

492% of Jumanji ($178.1M)

46% of Incredibles 2 ($83.4M)

 

Now I'm a touch concerned. I thought there would be a bit more of an uptick in ticket sales, but it only went up about 181. Not stagnant, but it should still be doing a bit better.

Given the current reviews I highly doubt JW2 gets a 3x multi.  300m is in jeopardy if it opens below 140m or so.

I don't think Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a movie that will get people to care enough if it underperforms.

If anything I think people would laugh at it underperforming vs meltdown

[Chewy]

Honestly this year is so ridiculous that JWFK falling 60% DOM wouldn't even be the top story, maybe not even top 5?

Imagine, if JW2 can fall 60% from its predecessor, what could that mean for Avatar 2?

Yeah, it's obvious that people are about to look back more kindly on Age of Ultron and The Last Jedi's holds from their predecessors but Fallen Kingdom just seems so...eh? I'm definitely seeing it but I'm not excited in the slightest.

Except Frank Reynolds isn’t playing Pikachu so I’m not buying a ticket

[Webslinger]

Not gonna sugarcoat it: under 100 would be disastrous for Jurassic World. Even taking into consideration that its predecessor over-performed to an absurd degree, it would be mind-blowing to see the sequel's opening fall under the previous film's second weekend.

 

I had it pegged for a Fate of the Furious-style hold, but all signs are pointing toward something lower.

Detective Pikachu, Uglydolls, Minecraft, Dora the Explorer, Playmobil, Angry Birds, Sonic, He-Man. Studios are really bringing out the big guns next year.

So I’m going to do the last presales check at my theater tomorrow morning since I just got to the hotel and I’m beat from driving all day. 

 

But I just checked and the final showtimes for JW2 are up for Thursday and it turns out I was right in saying my theater would hold off on adding the same amount of showtimes for JW2 as Solo and DP2. I guess after they got burned by Solo after assuming it would bring in the walk ups they’re adding showtimes for JW2 based on the demand. So on that note JW2 is finishing with 6 showtimes total. 4 2D and 2 3D. For comparison, both Solo and DP2 finished with 9 showtimes.

It's possibly safe to assume, Jurassic WON'T opening under 100 million. Nothing's totally out of the realm of possibility though.

Reserved seat sales at my local for Thur have risen by 11 seats yesterday over the last day for a total of 40 of about 600 seats.   On the bright side that's 37.9%!

Seriously, maybe non reserves less expensive regular 2D screens are selling better

19 more seats sold since yesterday at the two reserved RPX showings (1 3D, 1 2D). There are five additional non reserve, the total has not been raised.

59 seats sold out of 600 as of 11:11pm EST

Not even close to safe. Every sign right now is pointing to sub 100. This thing better be insanely walk up driven or FK may literally pull a Solo, 85m and all.
