Jurassic World - - Part 11

[:eek:]

I don't believe in counting re-release numbers. Avengers beat Titanic.

Big victory considering how many years it is between the movies. It's pointless comparing them. Everything will fall down on the all-time chart when enough time has passed thanks to higher ticket prices. How many of these movies will still be in top ten or top twenty in another twenty years or so? Not many, unless something unforeseen happens. It took only three years before Avengers was pushed down one spot.

It's a reward for making a good first film too.

Yeah there are to many factors like inflation, ticket prices, international market getting bigger and bigger and in the old days I don't think there where as many movies coming out each year so the compition is bigger and in the old days you didn't have things like Netflix, video games and movies stand out in theaters much long. In till like 10 years ago I think there had been only 3 movies to make a billion WW now we get a few ever year and have I think 22 movies at a billion WW. A billion is not quit what it used to be. Now when it comes to being impressive I think 1.3 billion is like what a billion used to be when it comes to how impressive it is. So I think the best way to compare movies is to compared movies that come out the same year. JW is the number one movie WW this year and the only movie that may make more is star wars. So for this year JW is going to be either 1 or 2 WW and that is just great!

Name recognition sells. Only one of those movies, namely Star Wars, has no concrete name recognition behind it. (Lucas had to fall back on piles and piles of instantly recognizable tropes and clichés.)

I don't see how it's sad, either. People like continuing stories.

Yeah I think there is a reason that sequels make a lot of money. With something new you don't know what to expect and that can be a bad or good thing but with a sequel if the movie before was good or great that is going to create hype for the next one and you are going to be confident that it will be good where with a new movie that is not a sequel you have to prove your self more that the movie is going to be good. I also don't quite agree with the whole sequels are worse thing I think a lot of franchise number 2 where the best and then number 3 end of disappointing.

 

[I'm Venom]

Well, in that case Jurassic World already has as well.

Exactly my point.

 

[Marvolo]

I don't believe in counting re-release numbers. Avengers beat Titanic.

I'm the same way. I think its BS that films get to add re-release numbers to the first release box-office. The re-release numbers should be separated with an asterisk and treated like a normal separate release not added to the initial release especially when the two releases are separated by more than a decade.

I am glad it did as I really enjoyed this and was disappointed with AOU.

Same here. In fact it was the biggest disappointment of the year for me.

 

[Loki882]

Not me, I really liked it. More than JW certainly.

 

[Rocketman]

Good lord...

It needs roughly 25 million to beat Titanic. Will it do it?

 

[Boom]

How have its daily totals been the last couple of weeks?

All it needs to do is make $2 million a day for the next two weeks straight and it's got it.

 

[DyeLorean]

A re-release somewhere down the line and it's #2.

Damn. Unbelievable. It hope it does it.

 

[Wildcard]

I'm still with those that enjoyed JW more than AoU. As for it beating Titanic...I don't know if it'll still make $2 million a day for the next two weeks straight but with some of these new releases that are meant to be blockbusters being disappointing I could certainly see the business they would've had deviating to holdovers like Jurassic World.

 

[Boom]

I still have to see this one more time before it leaves theaters.

If Marvel want to re-release Avengers for the sake of fairness then they are more than welcome.

I definitely enjoyed JW more than AoU. I thought AoU was a bit of mess.

 

[Rocketman]

Saw this making the rounds on 4chan.... Probably nothing?

[nixonrichard]

another great installment in the Jurassic series. Rating a ten for acting, story line, and good special effects. 9/10

 

[747]

Decently entertaining. Never boring, never anything special.

Seeing the first film again, or even some parts of The Lost World, just makes it so clear how Spielberg's masterful crafting of atmosphere and tension is only grasped at in this. Characters are made of paper in this also.

 

[Loki882]

Well the characters in JP weren't exactly the deepest either. They were basically archetypes. But yeah, they were still better than the characters in this film imo. I wasn't constantly questioning the JP character's intelligence/common sense for example.

 

[Iceman]

The originals were for the most part quite memorable. I don't know how much of it is nostalgia but they really added to the film while the characters here felt a bit more disposable/replaceable. The dinos stole the show again of course though.

Jurassic World is returning to IMAX 3D theaters for one week

IMAX and Universal Pictures today announced that Universal and Amblin Entertainment’s global-record-breaking film, Jurassic World, will receive a special week-long engagement in domestic IMAX 3D theaters beginning August 28.

it's only been making between $600,000 and $200,000, the last couple of weeks. I don't see it reaching Titanic unless the IMAX re-release for Labour Day does gangbusters.

 

[Nemeres]

If this blahness outdoes Titanic...

 

[:eek:]

If this blahness outdoes Titanic...

No big deal really considering Titanic is almost 20 years old now. It's inevitable that more and more movies will beat it. I mean, there was a time when Jaws was number one and now it's just number 159 worldwide if you're looking at box office-numbers.
