Not surprised FK is taking a tumble on RT. US critics are always the harshest. 

 

How long until they change the consensus?

I believe he left right after Infinity War smashed the record. Hmmm

Yeah it's Marvel fans fault...

 

He mentions us at least ten times...

I feel like a lot of the GA are in my boat for JW: I generally liked the movie but it didn't compel me to go see a sequel, I had my fix. If OW is 130 and it gets a 2.5x multi it will have pretty much exactly a 50% dropoff from the first. At least they aren't greenlighting Blue: A Jurassic World Story.

 

JW3 might have a better hook for the GA. I could see that being a 400M grosser.

Ian, Ellie and Alan together. Sideline Owen and Claire. In other words be the opposite of TLJ.

IW taking the record away from his favorite franchise broke him.

FK is 49% (after 237 reviews) on RT (63% audience)

 

That's low on both accounts, especially the Audience Score.

That was when he retired from the admin team. He continued to post for almost another four months after that.

Both will go up. 

 

Now, I'm thinking $140M+ for JWFK and just under $90M for I2. I think I2 is going kill it on Saturday and Sunday. $25M on a Friday and low 80s for the weekend doesn't compute even if $25M is spot on.

 

Low 80s is too high. Mid 70s is more like it.

25M (+53%)

33.3M (+33%)

28.3M (-15%)

86.6M Weekend, 53% drop

 

There's no way it's going under 80M with a 25M Friday.

Please, if that 25 number proves true, low 80s are a lock at minimum. Now, if it comes in lower than 25 today, I'll agree with you.

 

Thoughts on JWFK?

Where's baumer? He loves these movies. I'm expecting him to weigh in with a 9 or better out of 10 for JWFK.

I unfortunately did not care for it all that much. It has more to do with some of the things that I don't like in life. But to me this was more of a horror movie then it was a fun Jurassic Park movie. It had none of the charm of the original and none of the fun and the levity of Jurassic World. It was just a movie that wasn't very fun to sit through. It was more like watching a crossover between Last House on the Left and EARTHLINGS.

 

6/10

Me coming into this thread just to find a thousand JP3 gifs:

They're predicting $80M for I2..

I'm really surprised regarding the audience score for Fallen Kingdom. After years, Jurassic World still has a 78% Audience Score on RT.

 

This one starts with 64%, so perhaps word of mouth won't be as good as the previous one. Tomatometer is also very low for this kind of flick. Let's see what happens.

 

 

Disney fanboys voting it down. 

 

[WrathOfHan]

Audience score is down to 63% now. I wonder if it'll go rotten tonight.

That's a pretty fair assessment. I didn't have much fun with it either. Lacked the charm, adventure, sweep of what makes these movies appeal to such a wide audience. Wish it had gone even deeper into horror if it was going to play in that sandbox. Instead, it tried to be adventure and then ditched it wholesale for horror but pulled plenty of punches once toying with horror. Just tried to its cake and eat it too.

 

Wasn't feeling the score much either. Another hallmark of these flicks.

[a2k]

With ~133 ow, 2.63x for 350 is the target imo. 375 needs 2.81x. 400 seems like a pipe dream unless Friday ends up close to 60.

[CoolioD1]

while the weak minded watch jurassic world fallen kingdom this weekend i have just watched Set It Up a second time!

[Brainbug]

Im honestly curious about the Cinemascore.
