WEEKEND THREAD: No one went to the Danger Zone :( 145M JWD, 51.8M TGM, EEAAO reaches 61 DOM

[Ethan Hunt]

I'm confused. The thread title says this is the Jurassic World: Dominion weekend thread. I was looking for the Top Gun: Maverick third weekend thread.

Colombia: biggest debut for the franchise

Yes, its looking not too bad over there, 50M+ from China should be safe.

In my wet dreams.

 

No, for total, but 50M+ should pretty much be the floor i think. @Olive posted Maoyan predictions in the China thread and that had 15M for OD (101M Yuan) and 150M (1006M Yuan) for total if my currency calculator didnt lie to me.

Speaking of Top Gun, it's likely to finally topple Titanic for the biggest Paramount movie ever with a 25-year streak behind it. It made me want to look at all the other studios and their biggest movies and see what coming down the pipeline has a shot.

 

Disney: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (936.6M)

WB: The Dark Knight (533.7M)

Universal: Jurassic World (652.3M)

Sony: Spider-Man: No Way Home (804.6M)

Paramount: Titanic (659.4M)

Lionsgate: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (424.7M)

 

Paramount’s gonna get it through Top Gun, unless I suddenly jinx it, so we’re good there. We’re probably not getting anything from Sony that will be on this level for a long time. Probably not until they reboot Spider-Man yet again and fortysomething Tom Holland is forced back into the role next to some new whippersnapper. Universal’s also probably going to have Jurassic World as their biggest for a long while. Maybe Shrek 5 if it’s really, really good, but that’s a real “everything has to go right” situation. I guess the next Jurassic movie could do it if they get a really strong hook or concept, but I don't know what else they can use.

 

Weirdly Disney feels like the strongest candidate with all those Avatar sequels, even though they’re way above everybody else. I think at least one could get to 1B domestically. Maybe even Way of Water, who knows? For Warner, the inevitable Harry Potter 9 should cross this, but that’s probably not happening for a while. I feel like people will shout for The Batman 2, but that seems more like a 400M range grosser IMO. And for Lionsgate...umm...a Twilight legacyquel? The Twilight renaissance has died down a ton, but Pats and Stewart are bigger than ever, so you never know...I guess.

Just here for the TGM run. JWD is a bad movie, so I hope it collapses fast and TGM is again number 1. 😌

Probably not, no. We do have the Review That Movie thread up though.

For the industry's sake, I'm crossing my fingers that JWD crosses $400m DOM and 1B WW.

I think audience won't be that harsh as critics. It won't be getting Toxic WOM, it is certainly enjoyable but problem us that enjoyable part comes bit late in this movie.

 

Compared to JW and FK where action was from the get go.

Yeah, some posters here will laugh if Dominion should "collapse", but theaters surely wont. Dominion is exactly the kind of movie that can make or break a box office season for many theaters. Top Gun alone isnt enough, the other big movies must perform as well.

[Ethan Hunt]

I'm certainly not rooting against Dominion (and I'll probably go see it) but it's not my main interest at this weekends box office 

[THUNDER BIRD]

Anyone else thinks that pandemic is still in effect somewhat, even if people don't care about it in general, movie going is a different activity than just going to restaurant or a fair.

 

I think it has affected movie watching habit temporarily, And not every movie is Spiderman NWH, it was once a generation stuff.

Tbf if NWH and Top Gun have shown us anything, is that the box office is still capable of delivering surprise megahits on a consistent basis

[MrFanaticGuy34]

How much is the theater count for JW: Dominion?

 

One of the widest releases of all times or so? 🤷🏻‍♀️
