filmlover Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) This being on the fast track like this means we should be getting some casting announcements real soon (reports indicate no one from either of the previous trilogies will be involved). Universal now has How to Train Your Dragon, The Black Phone 2, and this over the span of less than 4 weeks so reasonable to assume one of the other two is moving to a more vacant date (which is probably happening regardless to give more space between two movies from the same studio that share the same lead actor).

lorddemaxus Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I think Legacy beats this DOM just because I expect that to leg this out easily. Worldwide, probably this but Idk if it makes a billion either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No many how nonsensical and messy these films get they still make a ton of money. This. I think the original Jurassiac Park and the first Jurrasiac World were the only really good movies in the franchise, but they all a good profit. BTW that is why you will never see a Jurassiac Park franchise movie go "Hard"; they will not get near a R rating. The kid audience,..kids love Dinosaurs..is too big to risk that audience.

Fr, completely agreed Dominion had a great hook of "Dinos are out in the wild now and live with humans" but wasted it for locusts Edited February 7 by HummingLemon496 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people I talked to felt deceived by the promo campaign. The Battle at Big Rock, the T-rex at the drive-in, etc. If Dominion had been more like that, it probably would have outgrossed Fallen Kingdom.

Yeah the general consensus was in between Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World. It was a popular $200M OW candidate and it's not like it barely missed like Multiverse of Madness it straight up wasn't even in the ballpark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harm, no foul. They scheduled Legacy to come out on Gunn’s late dad’s birthday (by chance). They’ll definitely keep the date and make it part of the promotion.

Brainbug Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I get what Trevorrow wanted to achieve with the locusts plotline thematically, but it was just ... so meh. It was obviously not what people wanted. That the movie still grossed a billion is testament to how popular dinos and the JP franchise truly is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I don’t think it matters if this and Superman release a week apart. Chances are this’ll see a sizable drop from Dominion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel1 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) JURASSIC PARK is a great film period anchored by good-to-great performances in every aspect of film making, especially casting Newman as the bumbling embezzler. JURASSIC WORLD is a great popcorn film anchored by fantastic performances by Pratt and BDH. LOST WORLD and JP3 were blah. FALLEN KINGDOM could not have been worse and should be retconned. Ruining the original island, making Hammond and Masrani dumb enough to build the dark on an ACTIVE VOLCANO? Dominion, good grief...

I would argue that both have potential above that number depending on a number of things, no way to slice it, it would be stupid to release them 7 days apart. Exact same audience in all corners of the globe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it but also the prehistoric locust disrupting our ecosystem and agriculture...is WHAT THE DINOSAURS WOULD ALSO BE DOING TO OUR PLANET. So why shift focus away when you're telling a specific story that should involve the dinosaurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
