Look around.

 

A sequel increasing isn't an easy achievement.

 

Marvel Studio mastered it.

 

It deserves more than a sarcastic golf clap.

 

It deserves the Waynes World we're not worthy gif.

 

Got that one handy?

Welp, we can't take nothing for granted, it seems. This movie is already on the success route and it'll likely make over 1.2B WW + 280+ (probably 300M) DOM, which is really good....... however, no one can tell me that it is a GREAT result coming off a 1.66B WW + 650M DOM maker. I wouldn't call it an implosion, but I'd call it a more worrying drop than if it were just a typical sequel fall. Especially since both Age Of Ultron and The Last Jedi, the direct sequels to the other 2/3'rds of the 1st batch of 200M+ openers, didn't drop as bad as FK will from JW. FK may end up with a 50%+ drop from the original, after all.

 

Still, no way it doesn't open in 1st place, unless it has cosmic frontloadedness. 125+ seems good to go, I2 is probably going around 90 (100 on a best case scenario).

top 3 ww is locked for disney - aiw, bp, i2.

wir2 could break-out and compete with jw2 for #4.

 

apart from these 5 no other film looks to approach 1b ww.

fb2 has a shot on paper but will miss it by a mile imo (and still be a big success).

I2 isn't locked yet to beat JW2 WW.

I think FB2 has a better chance than WIR2 to get to 1B.

[Noctis]

I want FB2 footage.

[Avatree]

WIR2 is going to make 1B? LOL. Grow up a2k.

Your comment also attacked the gotg franchise.

 

Hence why I defended the films.

You guys swear fanboy is a horrible insult.

 

We run Hollywood.

Like I said the drop this is looking to have (maybe sub 300m??) is abnormal for a sequel to a well liked film. I do think the movie being online already for two weeks likely had an effect. Also it does feel like Universal revealed  way too many scenes in the trailers. Taking away surprise

Maybe Americans are finally caring about the World Cup

Let’s play nice people. 

[grey ghost]

It's tough creating a hook sequel after sequel.

 

Especially when the premise is "big things eats smaller things".

Grey, you are looking like a idiot in this. A2 said even a gotg 2 OW for FK will be disappointing and you out of nowhere said that it increased from first one. A2 was not even saying anything about gotg2 and yet you thought he is attacking it.

Wasn't it making 700 sub-China + 200 China? That's what I recall seeing somewhere. I guess I misread.

[grey ghost]

JW2 didn't even try to have a strong hook.

 

It's fucking weird.

So is Fallen Kingdom better/worse than JP3 (aka best JP sequel)?@4815162342 @aabattery

 

Unlike JP 3 this film actually has a personality.

[movieboner]

Universal needs to let go of their ego and admit defeat. They should seek the wisdom of Disney on how to run a franchise. Universal is in deeeep shit, only Illumination and JW is keeping them afloat.

Hmm. You missed his low key shade at the end.

 

Commenting how small gotg2 OW was.
