Is that a good early sign for Jurassic World?

Its better start than FK but after 4 years, not sure how reliable.

Thanks! Do you think theres a reason why JW is starting already on June 1 in South Korea? Is there a holiday im not aware of?

I think its common for JW movies to open earlier internationally. 

June 6 is Memorial Day in Korea. JW:FK had opening day on June 6, did 1M+ that day.

The Roundup has 99% on CGV and 9.5 on Megabox

[Cooper Legion]

So DS2 won’t even do 6x its final presales for the total run. Gotta be one of the lowest ratios in history for a normal movie.

[Potiki]

Selfishly glad to see so many big Korean films finally coming out, hopefully the come out here (NZ) in the coming months. 

 

Particularly looking forward to Broker, Decision to Leave and Alieniod due to the Directors and/or actors involved. 

[keysersoze123]

I am assuming Roundup will do > 10 million admissions looking at WOM. Should be exciting to follow for sure.

How lovely a movie breaking out, should go over 7m easy no? Depending on how strong it holds it might have a shot at 10m. (comming of a 3.5m OW, maybe more like 3.4m but with great wom sunday might be able to hold close to flat).

Will The Roundup and Jurassic World be able to co-exist together? Or will Roundcup crush JW?

By the time JWD release, Round Up will be in its third weekend. Won't make much difference.

I think 7M is very easy. Will be around 3.4M tomorrow. 5.9-6M by next SUN. For 10M need only 40% holds.
