If Jurassic World does beat Avengers, how pissed is Disney/Marvel? Avengers 2 disappoints, and they lose the opening weekend record... -- nm - MDH Jun 15, 06:13 28
- They can blame themselves. They should have bought this franchise too years ago. -- nm - Jovian Jun 15, 06:41
- Based on estimates from last evening, it will beat it, FWIW -- nm - ty97 Jun 15, 06:33
- Not when Star Wars Force Awakening has a chance to beat the dinosaurs - eag Jun 15, 06:19 17
  - Star Wars opening weekend won't come close to Jurassic World. Look at it's timing. Christmas doesn't have openers, just legs. -- nm - MDH Jun 15, 06:21 13
    - normally, but the revamped Star Wars type movie hasn't opened then (has it?) -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 06:25 12
      - They didn't set the world on fire opening in 'monster-opening' time frames....why are we expecting them to destroy Xmas? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 15, 06:31 11
        
        With what the dinos did this weekend, how people can just dismiss the thought of Star Wars beating it is kinda funny. - Jim Jun 15, 06:38 4
        
        It's not about the film. It's about holiday behavior. -- nm - David Jun 15, 06:43
        
        If this was during the summer season, I'd give it more credence. Xmas is a killer season for massive openings. - Will Hunting Jun 15, 06:43 2
        
        Well I think its a given at least that this movie will shatter the opening weekend record in December - eag Jun 15, 06:49
        
        This. -- nm - MDH Jun 15, 06:44
        
        subtract Lucas, add Disney and JJ and time since the prequels -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 06:33 5
        
        plus bring back the original stars. -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 06:33 4
        
        I'm aware I'm in the minority here, but having Luke, Han, etc is not even a selling point for me. -- nm - Shaun Jun 15, 06:39 3
        
        Luke as a Ben Kenobi character is great. Harrison Ford still trying to be young Han Solo makes me cringe. -- nm - Inigo Jun 15, 06:42
        
        I could give or take it, but the Falcon shot in the trailer was fvcking Gold -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 06:40 1
        
        Yeah that killed in the teaser. -- nm - Shaun Jun 15, 06:41
  - Opening weekend, unless something completely abnormal happens, it doesn't. - Will Hunting Jun 15, 06:21
  - No, it really doesn't. -- nm - ML Jun 15, 06:20 1
    - i won't be at Star Wars opening weekend, i know that. -- nm - Andie Jun 15, 06:22
- As long as they rake it in, doesnt matter. But Im sure Avengers 3 will feature dinosaurs -- nm - budice Jun 15, 06:15 3
  - Devil Dinosaur premiere!! -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 06:24
  - Robert Downey Jr eating people = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ -- nm - ty97 Jun 15, 06:16
  - I know he's getting up there, but RDJ isn't that old dude. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 15, 06:16
- I'd think they have about 1.5billion reasons not to be pissed about Avengers 2. - Will Hunting Jun 15, 06:14 3
  - It looks like it'll end up a little above $1.4 billion. That would be great, if the first one hadn't made $1.5 billion before China became huge. -- (edited) - Inigo Jun 15, 06:22 2
    - Yep, it's int'l is slightly higher than #1, but before China became the China of 2015. $200M less than expected in the US has to sting. -- nm - MDH Jun 15, 06:24 1
      - And in reality, based on what they expected, $250-300M. -- nm - MDH Jun 15, 06:25

- Diva was #1? - Will Hunting Jun 15, 06:09 4
  - no, not at all. I ended up doing port cleaning yesterday. -- nm - Diva Jun 15, 06:34 1
    - Ahhh, that explains. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 15, 06:44
  - The post says 'thatjguy' at 40.34 was #1, but I can't promise the data is correct. -- nm - ty97 Jun 15, 06:14
  - Diva is always #1 -- nm - budice Jun 15, 06:12
- go hunting! -- nm - Diva Jun 15, 06:06
Grammer help Dolphin Quest Attraction or Dolphin Quest attraction?? - Pippy the Low Sparrow Jun 15, 05:53 8
- I would say lower if it's not actually part of the name of the place. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 15, 06:08 3
  - This gets my vote. "Dolphin Quest" and "attraction" are in apposition. -- nm - 99 LuftBarons Jun 15, 06:24
  - i guess yes, but is it ? -- nm - Andie Jun 15, 06:11 1
    - Maybe if attraction was pluralized it would work as a name/title. Unless there's only one thing to do there. :-) - Krusty Jun 15, 06:21
- lower -- nm - budice Jun 15, 06:05
- I think lower case -- nm - ty97 Jun 15, 05:59 1
  - this would get my vote -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 06:08
- Attraction, capital A. -- nm - Andie Jun 15, 05:57

So I was watching the pilot episode of "You're the Worst" with my kids... - Mop Jun 15, 00:31
I jumped 20 ranks, putting me at 1205 with 1.495 billion. - Max Jun 15, 00:10 22
- Up 5 to 613. -- nm - MDH Jun 15, 06:04
- I dropped 6 down to 456, despite being up over 30 million yesterday. I'm up 80 million since the beginning of the month. -- nm - TWuG Jun 15, 05:59 2
  - HSX's method of using the minus-sign to show going up in rank seems counter-intuitive. - Andie Jun 15, 06:12 1
    - yes -- nm - ty97 Jun 15, 06:15
- Up 1 to 126. -- nm - ty97 Jun 15, 05:50

- Up 9 to 476. -- nm - volnelk Jun 15, 05:34
- I didn't move -- nm - diva Jun 15, 05:27
- Up 0 - still at 27. Don't even think I shortened the gap either. -- nm - LMS Jun 15, 05:17 1
  - Up 0 as well, but the gap has definitely shortened. I think it's likely the guy 3 spots in front of me will be my next victim. No trade in 3 years. -- nm - 99 LuftBarons Jun 15, 05:46
- Up 30 spots to 1510 - J Jun 15, 05:07

  - I can only seen 5 people in the 126-175 range shorting it, and maybe only 1 didn't play it. - Will Hunting Jun 15, 05:40
- Up 2 to 214 -- nm - iSpam Jun 15, 04:40
- 3 to 394. but I don't think it'll stick. I'm not going to flip JW back to long after the "it beat avengers" news comes out today. -- nm - all the boys love OBBR Jun 15, 04:35 1
  - Also not flipping back. It's almost a guaranteed short til delist. iirc only one monster opener post-adjusted up and that was TDK. -- nm - Shaun Jun 15, 05:07
- 8 here, sitting at 678 now. -- nm - Shaun Jun 15, 04:18
