Mekanos Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 92M seems kinda low for I2... I expect something more like 95M. If JW can indeed pull off 130M it might be hard to reach 100M (especially with losing IMAX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) dang...i2 crushed dory but jw2 won't (using pro.BO's forecast)? if i2's and jw2's OWs were swapped everything would be normal. but bo is never normal. it's more unpredictable than the stock market. hoping jw2 still sails past 140-145...

RealLyre Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I think people are underestimating I2's 2nd weekend effect on JW2 When was the last time a movie opened to 130M-140M while another movie was making 90M-100M in its second weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much never. Which is why I'm super fascinated by how this weekend will turn out. I think it could be a shocker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Well, based on hat DP2 has been doing all week, the Wednesday number should be 1.03-1.04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Jurassic World's buzz and presales feeling alot like Justice League/Solo where we had all the signs but everyone thought "it couldn't possibly....right?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, big blockbusters rarely open that close to each other in the first place. And numbers that large are more of a recent thing anyway, as there are only six 90m+ second weekends, of which only one came before 2015. 130-140m openers haven't exactly been the norm for a long time either. Older weekends of similar size attendence-wise probably existed before, but in terms of money you obviously won't find any. If you take the much larger ticket prices, 3D, IMAX and all that stuff into account, then you probably could make a case for the Shrek 3 POTC 3 double-punch on Memorial Weekend 2007 fitting this scenario. You can certainly make the case that those two hurt each other, but it also shows that it shouldn't be entirely impossible to have a 130-140m movie and a 90-100m one at the same time.

Premium George Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 For JL, it was like, well it will still do more than $110m. But for solo, everyone was ready for it to do less than $90m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to put it into a bit of perspective, Guru predicted 120 million for Jurasasic World opening weekend. I'm not saying that the presales aren't something to pay attention to, but maybe this is more of a walkup film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
