From here BP will need a 23 week run and just under 40% drops to get to 700m. It it had 40% drops from here, by week 23 it would be 50k short. That said, the dollars left to go for it to get to 700m that a strong upcming week could basically seal the deal, again assuming Disney doesn't cut it early.
I went 2 times. The first time was in Rotterdam Schouwburgplein, one of the biggest cinemas in the Netherlands. The theater was full and half of the audience stayed to watch the end credit scene. The second time I went to a smaller cinema and again a lot of people stayed for the end credit scene.
Both times the friends that where with me really liked the movie. Even the friend that's usually really hard to please. Black Panther he found extremely boring, Guardians 2 he did not like and he fought Solo was the weakest Star Wars movie since Episode 1.
Point is, Everyone should go see a movie for itself and not let internet posts cloud your judgement. You never know if you will like a movie if you haven't seen it for yourself.
Deadline estimates JW2 made $58.4M between Thursday and Friday and moved their weekend total up to $145M, which is right next to GotG2 and Fast 7 all time.

I find it interesting that both JW films over-performed their projections by a fair bit. I guess the film is very walk up friendly.
Very true.
I wouldn't call myself a Jurassic films fan or anything, and I recognize that as films most of them are meh, but at the end of the day I ALWAYS end up going to see the movies.
I like dinosaurs but man I couldn't finish watching Jurassic world 2015 without falling asleep halfway through. So yeah definitely skipped seeing fallen kongdom yesterday.
Saw Incredibles 2 instead last night. Was good but felt a little like a reskin of the first movie but with the parents role reversed.

Fallen Kingdom is definitely doing better than presales suggested (compared to other big releases). However 145M for the weekend is within the tracking range. Deadline said 135-150M on Tuesday this week.

Official tracking has always been in that range.
From May 31st:

Fiance wants to see fallen kingdom instead of Incredibles 2 tomorrow. Give me the brutal truth everyone, how is it?
Woah your post number is 666.
I wouldn't leave the house now if I were you.
Well obviously, that's not a fair comparison. I'm talking on its own merits
Wife wants to see JP instead of I2 tonight, all the good theaters are sold out for tonight. Ugh I really dont want to go to IMAX 3D. These bigger numbers dont surprise me in the least now.
As is always the case with films like these it's not about the first weekend but the second. It already feels like nostalgia made the first film a huge hit and now it's sequel has to stand on it's own two feet. If it holds that $145m is a great opening, but if it plummets next weekend then suddenly all bets are off.
This should still do a billion plus at the WW box office but given that it's predecessor made $1.6b that's a sizeable drop in an age when franchise growth is everything. I can already all but guarantee you that Trevorrow's third film will be just as awful as the first film so is this film series doomed for further downward trajectory?
Agree totally. I think this was a move designed just to get Bayona some 'big game' experience. I suspect he'll have a better hand on the wheel for his next big studio outing.

I'm impressed with those numbers. My theater just really didn't have that much traffic for it last night. I'll see how it goes today too!
Why is it that TLJ can make less than TFA and still be considered a big hit but JW:FK making less then the first one (while still making over a billion dollars) makes it a flop?
Eh I think the fact FK got terrible reviews while JW1 got solid ones plays into it.
^ Just a huge ass weekend at the box office.
No one is saying it's a flop now though? All those posts were before real dom #s were out when some thought it would do like only $100m ow...now that it'll be around $140-150m ow, + the huge OS #s, no one is saying flop now.

And there were people calling TLJ a flop or disappointment just because it didnt gross the same as TFA.
I loved it!
Not a movie for those who want some logic in them though.
I think too many have a hard time with the huge gap between flop and underperforming (vs expectations).
If 5.7 avg is terrible than the 6.4 avg for Solo should be considered mediocre.
The only other I can think of was May 2007 with SM3, Shrek 3 and Pirates 3. Two of those were back to back weekends.
We also should have had it with DP2 and Solo... :/
Glad they did
Even the small thing in Iron Man's suit came back in IW
But the problem with AoU was the presentation of Wanda and Peitro + too much jokes + bad choreography (except for the Hulkbuster Scene) + the black widow thing + almost 50% of the movie
Adding a giant Ultron Minion won't fix it
I was expecting that and am good with that. I love a big dumb fun action blockbuster lol
I was referring more to the months leading up to release where it became obvious that it wasn't going to make as much as the first one (but still make a lot of money) some people here were trying to spin it like it was going to be some sort of financial disaster.
It just always put me off how some people were so determined to push a narrative about this film before it even came out.
I don't know if you knew this, but some people on this forum love to push narratives. It's like a hobby.
Shit, remember the "Suicide Squad has to make a billion dollars to break even" narrative a few years back? And don't even get me started on all the shit we've seen on here about TLJ!
When people hate a movie it seems like logic just flys out the window.
Remember how Spider-Man Homecoming was a huge flop?
Jurassic World 2 will make more than Homecoming, so it's an even worse flop.
I never once saw people spin it as a flop or financial disaster though, and I frequent the Box Office threads and any JP topics. As far as I can tell you're inventing a narrative just to push back against it.
When is Universal gonna sell back the Jurassic Park rights to Marvel???
Turns out Disney doesn't need to make any higher bids for Fox, they just need to wait for JW2 to put Comcast out of business.
Yeesh, I'm being dragged into seeing Fallen Kingdom either tomorrow or Monday.
Not looking forward to it at all. Everything I've heard about it makes it seem so goddamn stupid.
Wasn't even a big fan of the first Jurassic World. It had some fun action, but Jesus the writing was terrible.
