Responses:

that is not a sequel, that is a reboot. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:21 21
- Correct. Although you could argue that Jurassic World is a semi-reboot. A cast refresh, at least. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:23 9
  - I assume all the cast from the 3rd were all eaten at some point. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:26 3
    - semi-related: has a lead ever been eaten in a JP movie? -- nm - Roger More Jun 10, 11:47 1
      - i guess that depends on how to define lead. - Truman Jun 10, 12:01

  - except, it is not, they reference the same characters as the originals - groiny Jun 10, 11:24 4
    - I put this in the light of Batman. It's a franchise that held the opening weekend record twice. - Inigo Jun 10, 11:31 1
      - at 100 million, it is a short. - groiny Jun 10, 11:33
    - It's a reboot in the same way that I'm rewriting ST from the inside out (instead of starting from scratch). ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:25 1
      - I feel weird about it, because I am so stoked for it, but I don't know anyone - groiny Jun 10, 11:27
- Ah, good point. But... -- (edited) - Spawn Jun 10, 11:22 10
  - WTF are you babbling about? - groiny Jun 10, 11:23 9
    - This year is already primed for bigger and better. FatF 6: 97M - FatF 7: 147M. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:28 8
      - that is a more valid comparison. - groiny Jun 10, 11:29 6
        
        Superman IV: 5M - Superman Returns: 52M -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:37 5
        
        now you are just being obtuse. - groiny Jun 10, 11:48 4
        
        You cannot quit when you are proven wrong, groiny. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:52 3
        
        Mad Max Thunderdome: 7M. Fury Road: 45M -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:53 2
        
        Pretty sure you can call this the kill shot. Also from this year? No doubt JW can do it, too. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:58 1
        
        just keep arguing with yourself here -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 12:06
      - Paul Walker's death had a little to do with that. - Will Hunting Jun 10, 11:29
