Take that feather lovers!!!
I like how they specifically mentioned in the movie why they did not have feathers. They anticipated it!

Well look at fast and.furious people like awful moviesif you told me this would happen i would have never believed it.
i STILL don't believe it. i am just baffled that a movie that had 1 movie in the franchise that was good 14 years ago and two awful ones did these numbers
I think Jurassic World provides an argument that so long as there's enough distance, and you minimize/avoid mention of that disappointment, people will basically forget that you had a disappointing sequel preceding the new film.
edit: Guek beat me!
AoU sucks and it still made money..
Just get over it, dude. Like, seriously. Being salty over mainstream blockbusters achieving massive success will never be something that works out in your favor. Films with a wide target audience will always make more money than more niche, cerebral projects, not as a product of their relative quality but rather due to their marketability and mass appeal.
Besides, Mad Max did respectable numbers given what it was - a niche passion project destined for cult classic status.

Damn, Safety Not Guaranteed 2 is going to have a huge budget.
Much like Jurassic World, there's been enough of a break that I don't think it'll matter. Just like with JP3, people actively want to forget the Star Wars prequels.

Except people actually like Episode 3 and it made a lot of money when it was released.
Didn't work for Dredd (assuming the shitty Stallone movie had a part in Dredd 3D flopping).

There were girls throwing kisses at the screen beacuse of Pratt's handsomeness, lol.

Wow, amazing opening.
Star Wars will bomb everything.
On the one hand, I want to say that it's pretty probable that Star Wars won't do what people are starting to think it might do because December isn't June, and attendance just does not work the same way in that season as it does in the Summer, and never has.
But then again, nobody has ever called any of the Box Office monsters BEING those monsters before they started stomping on everything. Titanic, Avatar, Avengers, Furious 7, Jurassic World... there was no reason to think conventional wisdom wasn't going to hold firm. And then hindsight made everything look sooooo obvious.
So who knows. Maybe Star Wars' marketing will touch enough nerves that domestic opening weekend is an Alderaan-esque blowup. I don't think that's going to be the case, I don't think we're going to get Summer numbers in December. But if we could call that kind of stuff accurately all the time, we wouldn't have the surprises we're currently being fascinated by.
We are getting to the point of overhyping where Star Wars could open to $150M, gross $600M domestic and $1.5B worldwide, and we would still have people asking what went wrong.
(which, by the way, should be due for a rewatch, as it's not all that different from Jurassic World)

Dude, just cause you keep saying this doesn't make it true.
I never heard of the name Chris Pratt before. What made him famous?

This is what I think it is.Chris Pratt = $$$
No doubt. I can see where what happened with Jurassic World can happen with Star Wars - but lots of things *can* happen that don't, too.
There's something to be said for leaving the possibility of surprise on the table, but nothing wrong with looking at how things normally go and keeping that in mind. And looking at how things normally go - even if you wanna be optimistic for Star Wars, I don't know that it's smart to just straight up map 1:1 what happened to Jurassic World to Force Awakens.
<=== they've ALWAYS been cool!Incredible. Dinosaurs are cool again!

That language lol. $511m is "only" $16m over the HP record. That's not "eclipsing".
Anyway those taking these numbers as a foresight of Star Wars should know that Star Wars is not that big outside the U.S.

Jurassic World: 511M WW debut
Jurassic Park III: 368M WW total
