Maybe it's just me but this movie looks bad.  Won't be seeing this.

I'm definitely of the same mindset. But there must be something there for many others as that Wednesday number is quite large for pre-shows.

‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Stomps On $20M In Early Overseas Bow; Roars Past Korea Records

Quote

Universal Pictures/Amblin Entertainment’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom started offshore rollout in seven overseas markets on Wednesday and served up $20.2M (including previews) in its first dino-stomping steps at the international box office. In total, the J.A. Bayona-directed sequel to 2015’s reboot of the classic franchise will be at play in 48 offshore markets this weekend, one week ahead of the China release, and two before domestic gets its first bite.

 

There was a roaring start in Korea on the Chris Pratt/Bryce Dallas Howard-starrer which opened to a record breaking $9.7M (10.3B won) and over 1M admissions to become the biggest opening day of all time in both admissions and box office. The local Memorial Day bow beats all previous opening day box office records which were previously held by Universal’s own The Mummy (7.4B won) and in terms of admissions by Avengers: Infinity War (980K).

 

Elsewhere, France opened with $1.7M and is No. 1 with 60% market share; Indonesia bowed to $1M (120% bigger than Jurassic World‘s opening day/2nd biggest Wednesday launch for Universal); and Germany scored No. 1 with $865K/55% market share.

 

The Philippines had a great No. 1 opening with $732K for 27% ahead of JW the first. In Belgium, the T-Rex is aces at 64% market share at $156K.

 

In previews, Singapore is the 4th biggest single day ever with $264K which is 10% bigger than Jurassic World. The UK‘s Wednesday previews of $2.9M are Universal’s 2nd biggest Wednesday previews of all time. Malaysia also had a great day of previews with $441K, at the same level as Jurassic World.

 

Ahead of the start of overseas rollout, industry sources were placing this film’s debut in a $130-$145M range with some going up to $150M.

I know I’m a broken record on this topic but the first two novels are among my favorite reads. Please just go back and give me a proper JP and The Lost World based on the novels with new actors. I’ll even forgive the PG13 rating. Film them both back to back and title them with Crichtons name. The TRex river chase scene from the first novel would have been epic. Supposedly cut from the first movie because it wouldn’t advance the story but in reality was scrapped due to budget. Then, based on the success of those, continue with new stories and the same actors since The Lost World novel left possibilities. Oh and when Malcolm dies in JP, he stays dead Hollywood. He STAYS dead.

Saw it with my younger son and he loved it. Young kids love dinosaurs so as long as they keep making decent movies, this franchise will have legs. For what it is, I enjoyed it also.

Yea my kids are 2 and I can't wait for them to watch these, right now they think it's too scary when I show them clips.  If the one-hour nature documentaries had CGI like this I'd prefer those, but if they're just in these films that's fine, I'll watch the dino action there.

I saw it and hated it. Liked Jurassic world 1 but this one was just terrible to me. Boring, nothing really new or interesting, painful acting and scenes. But as others have said, my 7 year old boy loved it so I guess it wasn’t a total waste of money.

 

And damn movie theatre is expensive. Family of 4 cost me 80 dollars for tickets and a modest amount of food.
