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
