Jurassic movies will get another boost when give us the real dinos...

 

That's actually a great idea, as science learns more information about these creatures, the films themselves which are set in present day can reflect that. They are creating dinosaurs in Jurassic Park in 2018 so surely they can use 2018's knowledge.

TLJ had a standard mega blockbuster sequel drop. It had more room to fall than any previous film before it. We won't have a comparison until Avatar 2, and even then, that won't be quite close enough to compare.

 

The fact that it stayed within range of the other sequel drops is pretty astounding.

What's the average drop?

[The Panda]

I still don’t see how a sub-150m OW from a sequel to a record breaking is all that great?  It’s only looking good now in relative comparison to some of our more pessimistic predicts.

Given the $187 million budget, this movie was going to be successful no matter what.

Whatever you say when you have no counter argument, I guess.

I'm not the one trying to downplay this movie at every opportunity with zero perspective so...

Not if it grossed $186 million.

I thought it was $170M.

We need an actual dinosaur clone to know their appearance for certain.

 

What could possibly go wrong? 

[YM!]

This drop is by no means good, but it’s still better than before. Who knows with a $140M OW, perhaps legs may be strong.

This is a horrible drop. There's no way to counter that.

 

This will also be insanely profitable for Universal. There's no way to counter that either.

 

There. I saved everyone 100 pages of bickering.

We've already seen the OS numbers, so we knew it will be fine.

[FantasticBeasts]

This thread is garbage. Can we have one with just the numbers posted for those of us that want a quick update?

[Taruseth]

$15.3M in previews, if it exactly follow JW would lead too:

$15.3M Previews

$52.48M True Friday (Previews*3.43) (=67.78M OD)

$57.62M Saturday (+9.8%)

$47.31M Sunday (-17.9%)

Ow: $172.71M (-17.3% Avengers to AoU -7.8%, TFA to TLJ: -11.3%)

 

*2.5 = $431.8M (-33.8%)

*2.82 = $487M (-25.3%)

*3 = $518.13M (-20.6%)

*3.12 = $538.9M (-17.3%)

*3.3 = $569.9M (-12.6%)

*3.78 = 652.39M (= (lol with TFA's multiplier it get's 120k above JW))

 

But I guess this is more likely:

15.3M Previews

43M True Friday (Previews*2.81)

47M Saturday (+9.3% TF)

38M Sunday (-19.1%)

OW: 143.3M (-31.4%)

*2.5 = $358.3M (-45.1%)

*2.82 = $404.1M (-38%)

*3 = $429.9M (-34.1%)

*3.12 = $447.1M (-31.45%)

*3.3 = $472.9M (-27.5%)

Interesting that Universal were able to keep the budget increase at a sensible level. The Fast and Furious films cost more with $200m budgets for F8

Zero perspective?

 

Then you should at least have counter arguments that easily expose this impartial fact.

I think the run for the previous movie just goes to show how beloved the original Jurassic Park from '93 is. The movie itself wasn't that well-received. And it's not like this one looked like anything special either. An audience retention of close to 2/3rd is fine, all things considered.

Are there any dinosaurs left on this forum or have they all gone?

[Yandereprime101189]

Because, huge drop or not, 120-130 million is still technically a good, solid opening for a film.

 

 

[MCKillswitch123]

You guys have turned Jurassic fucking World threads toxic because of petty fanboy/wishful thinking wars. Never change, BOT.

Which is replaced with 100 pages of what exactly?
