emoviefan Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I really like Juraasic World but do not love it. It is a perfect summer blockbuster though. Fallen Kingdom is way underrated. Might be my second favorite of the whole series. And Dominion is terrible and I have no desire to subject myself to it ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens often with huge films, see Black Panther dropping $250m domestically from 1 to 2. True. More examples include Force Awakens to Last Jedi, Avengers 1 to Age of Ultron, Deadpool 1 to Deadpool 2, A New Hope to Empire Strikes Back, Dark Knight to Dark Knight Rises, Furious 7 to Furious 8. Spider-Man 4 will drop from No Way Home, Top Gun 3 will drop from Maverick, Barbie 2 will drop from Barbie, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnapologeticKenny Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Always here for more JW. And Skarlet & Jonathan are very welcomed bonuses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Low-key optimistic for this one. Good cast (hoping we get Rupert at his peak British twat). Edwards a really good match for the material. And the compressed production timeframe I think is going to be a benefit. From conception to release, less time for studio meddling, less time to overthink creative and logistical decisions. You just gotta roll forward. Keep things tight and focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Squibbonator Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Now that we have an official synopsis, it's pretty obvious that the leak we got back in June is a hoax. That leak mentioned the protagonists traveling to Suriname to rescue a missing family, only to find out they've been lured into a trap by a criminal organization. It doesn't mention anything about the search for a miracle cure, or the "biggest of land, sea, and sky". But what are these three biggest species? Here are my guesses. Biggest in the sea: Mosasaurus, obviously. There were bigger sea reptiles in real life, but the Mosasaurus has consistently been depicted as the largest sea creature in the Jurassic Park franchise, and the leaks suggest it's going to play a big role in this movie. Biggest in the sky: Probably Quetzalcoatlus, unless they decide to use its close relative Hatzegopteryx, which might have been even bigger. Biggest on land: Hard to say. Argentinosaurus would be the logical choice, but I'm guessing that they might use Dreadnoughtus instead thanks to its association with the Jurassic World brand. Alternatively, this could be where the Spinosaurus comes in, if by "biggest dinosaur" they really just mean "biggest carnivore". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarjo and Jonathan Bailey as hot nerdy scientists, combined with Gareth Edwards and pretending Dominion didn’t happen, will guarantee the billion.

excel1 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Jurassic World is perfection and borderline parody. Fallen Kingdom does the unforgivable. Dominion a disaster/. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Jurassic World was what I would call "Fun, but not really memorable". In fact the only Jurassic film I rewatch is the Original one.

This doesn't make much sense considering that the first Joker wasn't affected. Not saying that Superman won't pay for the sins of previous Superman movies, but when talking specifically about the joker movies, I just don't see Joker 2 being affected by the DC brand when the first one wasn't. With that said, sure, I can see this one's second weekend being bigger than Superman's OW if it does as well as the first Jurassic World. That one did 106M on its second weekend.

Brainbug Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I cant believe im the one who has to stop the JW hype, but seriously, theres no way in my mind that this one will come close to the first JW's numbers. Its a second reboot of the franchise, following an underwhelming "final" entry of the prior trilogy. I think a 100M OW would already be a big success. Now, that could change with marketing, trailers etc but right now, i would be cautious with predicting very high numbers for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The argument they seem to be making here is that Joker was a big hit because the DCEU was in great shape. Okay. Sure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand, it is a reboot and reception for each subsequent entry in the recent trilogy was middling. On the other hand, the trilogy didn’t have have the same level of drop off as the recent Star Wars trilogy. It sounds like they’re mostly ignoring the plot of Dominion so that’ll also work in its favor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANd the main reason JW was so big it is gave audiences something they had always wanted to see; A Jurassiac Park in full operation. This film won't have that. It will just be more dinos chasing people. It will do well at the box office but won't be the kind of blockbuster jW was. Just not have that hook of a Operating Park that jW did.

I repeat, JW did suchmassive business because people wanted to see a Jurassia Perk in full operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
