How small is the T-Rex paddock that it was so close to the gate when whatshername opened it up? Also, what if it was having a nap and didn't notice or particularly care that the gate was opening? Why did she wait so damn long till it was only metres away before running - took a pretty big chance there...especially considering she was still wearing heels. How did the T-Rex not catch her and eat her?

What? It's just a movie? Oh.

The T-Rex was probably awake from all the chaos going on in the park. The Pteranodons and Dimorphodons flying over the park and people screaming had to have the T-Rex awake and alert waiting for its chance to possibly escape.

And also wasn't the T-Rex Paddock just off the main street/main drag where the Indominus/Raptor battle was going down? Completely plausible to think she was pacing her pen wondering what was going on out there. As soon as the gate started to open she probably headed in that direction.

About time for them. They were once king of all media. Long, long ago.




Very happy this is doing so well. Word of mouth should help hold it in 2nd weekend but we'll see. Not sure what its up against next week.
 
Re: Jurassic World

Nice, instead of the forecasted $125 million, it should hit $185 to $200 million domestically!
It's a hit!

Two sequels with Pratt confirmed too.

:)

Re: Jurassic World

Jurassic World outperformed even the most optimistic of forecasts with an $82.8M Friday, the third best Friday opening on record, with only Age of Ultron ($84.4M) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2($91M) still ahead of it.
Universal, who was playing it cool with estimates of $100M for the weekend, are now putting the three-day total at an astonishing $181.4M. Some reports are even putting it higher, at $192.7.
If we stay with the studio's $181.4M that's still the third biggest opening weekend of all time only behind Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.2M) and Marvel's The Avengers ($207.4).
If you believe Universal is still being conservative in their estimates and go with the $192.7 Jurassic World goes ahead of Ultron as the second biggest opening weekend to date.
This also catapults June from the 6th to the 2nd spot on the top opening weekends by month. Before Jurassic World June stacked up like this:

6th place June — Top film: Man of Steel ($116.6M)
5th place April — Top film: Furious 7 ($147.1M)
4th place March — Top film: The Hunger Games($152.5M)
3rd place November — Top film: Catching Fire ($158M)
2nd place July — Top film: Deathly Hallows 2 ($169M)
1st place May — Top film: Marvel's The Avengers($207M)
With that ranking now reshuffled it may cause some execs, who seem to use June as a breather between the opening May salvo and their July kicker, to rethink the viability of opening a massive tentpole in the month.
How'd we get here? The terrific $18.5M on Thursday nightand its impressive international launch on Wednesdayproved to be like the ripples in the water glass in the original Jurassic Park, warning that something big was coming. The scary thing? Jurassic World isn't done yet.
 
Re: Jurassic World

saw this movie last night and i was so disappointed, it was laughable for the wrong reasons and it just disappointed from one scene to the next. im happy for those who enjoyed it, im just sad it didnt live to my expectations which were low to begin with.
 
Re: Jurassic World

For those who were disappointed I'd love to know what you were hoping to see. And I don't mean flippant generalizations like "a movie that didn't suck" or "something that wasn't pants" or whatever. What did you want? Ooh ahh then running and screaming? With a token T-Rex tries to break into a vehicle scene?

I want to know what a person who sees a trailer of Star-Lord on a motorcycle flanked by racing Raptors charging against a monstrous dino hybrid actually expected to see when they pulled out their wallet and paid for a ticket.

Re: Jurassic World

Although not nearly as good, I thought Jurassic World (7.5/10) was a worthy successor to Jurassic Park (9/10). This is a family movie, so yes the plot is going to be thin, the characters are going to be one dimensional, and the tone will shift so that it doesn't get too intense for the kids. And of course it's going to be a CGI fest over practical effects. Sure there were the usual narrow escapes, forced one-liners, and it veered into the ridiculous (especially D'onofrio's wacky mustache-twirling plan), but it delivered pretty much what I expected--an enjoyable summer popcorn movie. You can't replicate the magic of Jurassic Park because the audience has already been there and seen that. There is no longer the novelty of bringing dinosaurs back from 65 million years ago. All that's left just "bigger, more, and louder" which was pretty much what the movie said audiences were looking for. Looking forward to getting it on digital. It's the type of mindless flick I like to put on in the background while I'm working.
 
Re: Jurassic World

i wanted a movie that stood on its own rather than trying to keep milking the nostalgia from the first. the magic about the first movie was that it build great suspense around solid characters that you liked. the characters in JW got into these predicaments which they managed to get out of too easily so you never really felt they were in peril. This movie was just felt like a big universal studios commercial for the first half, and a predictable ride for the second. here is a few things that bothered me about this movie

1. cell phone reception for redhead was amazing through the whole movie, that battery is amazing!
2. people running in circles instead of running inside a building when velociraptors are picking them up
3. kids fixing the jeep faster than i can replace a lightbulb
4. reusing same jurassic park theme, thats just too convenient and unoriginal
5. reusing same nose sniffing shot from the original movie around shot in 5 different instances again milking the original
6. annoying big nosed assistant who keeps repeating everything she's told on a headset, it was especially funny when she said it crying
7. the favra looking army dude, i just kept thinking favra
8. running in heels, i didnt think it was going to bother me but it did
9. harley in a jungle
10. not just smart dinos, super smart dinos
11. the blood splatter death, too funny looked like dripping kool aid
12. "it can camouflage!"....dead, it was unintentionally funny
13. jimmy fallon's cameo, i just dont like him
14. cell reception (go to number 1)
15. the same look i can walk through the hologram shot like 3 or 4 times
16. big brother instantly learns to love little brother (just kinda happened randomly)
17. unnecessary english babysitter..........kinda made her death funny when it happens
18. george takei sounding/looking scientist
19. indian owner, i just didnt engage with the character so when he died i was like mehhhhh

again, i really went it wanting to enjoy the movie but at the end i was expecting bloopers of the dinosaurs saying, "wait let me redo this take, i know i can display more empathy"
 
Re: Jurassic World

I make it a habit of not seeing any previews, images, anything etc of a movie I know I'm going to see in the theatres on the first weekend of release. Jurassic World was one of these movies. Plot, images, characters, look of this movie would all be completely new to me. I just came from watching this and when it ended my first thought was how brilliant Jurassic Park 3 was. The message I received from this movie was forget about all the ******** you just watched in the last 2 hrs. It all comes down to the T Rex we all remember and love from the from the original series. Didn't you feel that you didn't give two ****s about the Splice-a-saur and trained Raptors when T REX stepped into the picture? The one positive I liked about the movie was finally seeing what John Hammond envision Jurassic Park to be (with modern technology" applied to it. I also felt that the dinosaurs looked way more CGed compared to the old movies! ****in spliced dinosaurs with T REX heads and wings.

Whoa.... Pratt is no Ford.

You basing this off one and half movies, because Hollywood told you he's the next go-to guy now that Channing didn't fly?

Pratt's biggest flaw is his very surfer-dude voice. 'Dance-off, bro' isn't what I want from heroes like Indiana Jones. He needs a few years on him and some voice training... then maybe.

Hemsworth is better.

Dimorphodon. Not a made up dinosaur.

The only hybrid in the film was Indominous.
