Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 True, but sometimes they can make the narrative more...palatable. Even if Jurassic Park ////// (or whatever it's gonna be called) is going to be trash, the presence of Neill, Dern, and Goldblum makes it worth seeing.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It’s a smart move guaranteed to increase the box office performance compared to Fallen Kingdom.

In terms of domestic box office, it was right up there but I don't think it dethroned Avatar or Titanic. Force Awakens was the first one to do that a short while later.

I’m still amazed that Jurassic World was very recently the highest grossing film of all time. Nostalgia is power! Not exactly. When Jurassic World came out of the theaters, it was the third biggest movie of all time on worldwide and US box office (unadjusted), behind Avatar and Titanic. Since 2015, it has been surpassed by the last two Avengers and a Star Wars WW and these movies plus Black Panther on US. So yeah, it was big (very big), but not the highest grossing film of all time. Curiosity: here in Brazil JW is the movie of its franchise that sold more tickets, but still had a smaller audience than Thor: Ragnarok, both of Tom Holland's Spidey movies, Logan, Captain Marvel and pretty much every DCEU film except for Man of Steel and Shazam. But don't blame us, we had much less movie screens in 1993 than today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the US, it took over the record from The Avengers, and overseas/worldwide it surpassed Deathly Hallows Part 2 - although JW had the advantaged of including China on its worldwide opening weekend, while the last HP didn't premiered there until August of 2011.

crumbs 14,300 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It was always a no-brainer bringing them back, everyone has wanted to see the core 3 together again since TLW dumped Alan and Ellie. I question how involved they'll be in the plot considering Pratt and Dallas Howard really are the leads. I guess it'll be TFA style with Grant probably in the Ford role.

mstrox 6,643 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I liked those side characters in the second one! I think it would be harder to work "previous control room guys" into the story of the third than "friends/coworkers of the heroes," but honestly I'd be surprised if Trevorrow didn't bring Johnson back for this one in the end.

Edmilson 7,384 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Quote Chris Pratt Says JURASSIC WORLD 3 Will Be The AVENGERS: ENDGAME Of JURASSIC PARK Movies You may have forgotten, what with all the other big franchise shenanigans going on these days, that a third Jurassic World movie is headed our way, with Colin Trevorrow returning to write/direct and a whole slew of Jurassic franchise all-stars slated to return, including Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Chris Pratt. That's fine, these things happen. If you did forget, however, a recent interview between Pratt and Ellen Degeneres offers a sobering reminder. Asked whether or not this will serve as the end to Universal's long-running dino franchise, Pratt says (as quoted by The Playlist): “This feels like it. I’m not allowed to say anything…It’s got everybody. It’s got pretty much everybody in it. Maybe I just blew it, but I don’t care. I know all the cast from the original Jurassic Park is coming back. It’s going to feel very much like how Endgame brought everything together for Marvel.” https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2020/02/20/chris-pratt-says-jurassic-world-3-will-be-the-avengers-endgame-of-jurassic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
