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

JW and FK have averaged $16.9M in previews, and there’s like a 90% chance JWD falls in middle of that $15.3-$18.5M range 

 

Yes, if i had to guess and looking at the tracking thread, 17 - 17,5M will probably be the number.

 

Going by that, giving it a lower preview-to-OW multi than FK (that had 9,67, lets give this an 8), we would get a 136 - 140M OW

 

Not a complete disaster, but ... not that good either imo.

The internet actually has a strong hatred for the JW franchise, believing them to represent what is wrong with cinema. Go

to any news or trailer for Dominion on Reddit. The comments are 99% negative

Yes, but that is nothing new tbh. Best to just ignore it. There are still safe heavens for us JP fans to go to, especially on some YouTube channels, theres quite a positive community of fans.

Nah, I think that IM is too low. May not get all the way to 9x, but 8.5x or more (unless WOM really drags it down Sat & Sun). I’ll take the over vs FK, but perhaps by not all that much 

 

Part of being a walk-up heavy franchise also means not a super inflated Thursday. F9 almost got a 10x on this weekend last year, granted with a 7pm Thur start, but it’s not like JWD matinees were packed like MCU, and Fri/Thu sales ratios were decent

It doesn't matter because any unmoderated, unfiltered, and random polling opened to anyone on planet Earth is a completely useless metric. It tells us nothing. There's no basis for it scientifically. It holds no value as a tool for anything.

 

We have three easily accessible providers offering audience insight from audiences that actually saw the movie they're being asked about. Useful damn-near scientific data. Trying to gain insight from unverified audience scores is like ignoring polling from Pew and YouGov to discuss a random vote you saw on Reddit.

That all started thanks to allegations of sexism lobbied against the film by Devin Faraci and Joss Whedon.

 

Oh. The. IRONY!

The verified audience score isn't "damn near scientific" I'd argue that's Cinemascore and Postrak. The verified score is only of those that bought tickets through Fandango and that has its own biases.

This franchise doesn't care about RT scores and the like. People just like dinos

I wasn't really part of "the internet" back in like 2015, but I'm guessing the arguments were heels and the baby sitter.

Quote

Universal/Amblin’s Jurassic World Dominion earned $18M in previews, but that’s not just from 4PM showtimes yesterday, but also other stunt previews earlier this week. 

 

Wait...what stunt previews?

How much could they be. Probably an insignificant number

[filmlover]

Yeah, what other previews were there lol? Although a lot of theaters did a special double feature with Jurassic Park '93 yesterday so maybe that's what they mean.

This number is good even tho people are probably gonna freak out about it(?)

Oh $18m is solid then.

 

Maybe $140m+ is on the table. 
 

Deadline say the majority came from last night. I wasn’t aware of any other screenings so maybe it was a very small number, and certainly not advertised.

Other screenings??

That JWD number seems a tad underwhelming especially compared to the older-skewing TGM which grossed more in its previews two weeks ago. Granted, JWD didn't have that one extra primetime PLF showing earlier in the week; but it's still slightly embarrassing for a mega-franchise.
