    - did you see any dicks? -- nm - decline Jun 12, 12:37 2

let's talk jurassic world. sell me on a $150 mill opening weekend. is there sequel fatigue happening now? -- nm - amanda Jun 12, 11:14 15

- it would be higher if: Paul Blart, Jurassic Park Cop, was the main guest star saving all the tourists. -- nm - peglegpete Jun 12, 11:28
- There might be some sequel fatigue, but I think the favorable aspects will end up pushing the opening to around $170 million. - ReluctantCynic Jun 12, 11:24
- A $150 million opening would be 71.8% of Jurassic World's opening. That number includes some sequel fatigue in it. - Inigo Jun 12, 11:18 3
  - right? I feel so much fatigue around it. is it chris pratt fatigue after GOTG2 sucked? (note: I haven't seen GOTG2. I am going on WOM and multiplier.) -- nm - amanda Jun 12, 11:51 2
