At this point, going up more than 2-3 points is extremely unlikely. Odds are it'll either stay between 68-70 or dip slightly lower.
Why do you need to line up? We don't do this in New Zealand, purely curious.

You know that gif with the raptors on bikes?
I was actually expecting that while watching the film.
Oh how I wish it were true.

I am with you, brother.
When you live in a largely populated area, lines are everywhere. This is a new theater too built between two others I used to go to, and another one is going up a few blocks away this year! Big demand for movies here, so you MUST come early to get a good seat. Or else you might have to wait outside when the lineup gets too full.
I'm glad it's not like that here. For major releases here you have assigned seats when you get your ticket. If you order online ahead of time you can reserve the seat you want.

i'm with you... i also didn't like it. its 6/10 for me.
Yeah,
her death was incredibly cruel and needlessly mean spirited I thought. Just an innocent woman who died a pretty horrifying death normally reserved for like the big bad villain. Kinda bothered me tbh. Really pushed the PG-13 with the violence, but it generally felt like high stakes which was good.
Just got home from a showing Thursday opening night. I really enjoyed it! It felt a little under cooked, but developed enough to not be bad. Chris Pratt was great and I really enjoyed the raptors and his relationship with them. The InGen security guy (Vincent D'Onofrio) was WAY over the top and felt really half-baked and underdeveloped at a character. Just too one dimensional. I liked Irrfan Khan's character, but he likely could have benefited from a bit more character development. Didn't much care for Bryce Dallas Howard, but she wasn't too bad.
JP >> JW > TLW >>>>>>> JP3
Mad Max Fury Road still the best film of the year to me at the moment. The film got a very good applause from the theater at the ending. It was a sold out theater too. I expect good word of mouth and a very nice box office performance.

Is Brachiosaurus a real dinosaur?
Dear JP3 allow this film to educate you about how to make a Jurassic smackdown scene.
Everything about this movie was entertaining, a real treat for fans of the original. By leaps and bounds the best of the sequels (though it achieves this by mostly sticking to the original's formula or making tiny self-aware twists on the formula). They even addressed the dinosaurs not looking realistic based on what we know about them, and managed to showcase some new species as well as giving one group of ancient reptiles a redo that fixes up their goofiness in the previous sequel. All the characters manage to be likeable as well, yes even the kids. Some of the CGI was a little hard to swallow, but once the film got into things (and night falls) it was easier to handle. Pretty much everything related to the new dinosaur they cooked up in that lab was great.

Raptor purists are going to explode in a frothing rage but the trailer should have already set your expectations for how they are handled.

Paddock fucking 9. Holy fuck. That was amazing.
Just got back from this movie and I really loved it. It's definitely the best Jurassic Park sequel (not that hard to do), but probably not as good as the original. That being said, I think this movie works because it tries to be more like the original without crossing too much into too much nostalgia that could ruin it quickly. I was actually surprised there weren't as many links to the older films, but I think it works out great. You definitely get the feeling that this is Jurassic Park based on the feeling of the movie, not because it has dinosaurs.
It's not a film that will make you think, but it's chock full of moments that will make your inner child squeal with glee, whether it's

Solid film and much better than I thought it was going to be going into it. Despite this film's flaws, it is the sequel that Jurassic Park deserved.

a raptor jumping off the back of a T-Rex to take on the I-Rex
the T-Rex set loose on the island, giving one last roar to end the movie.

.... yes... ?
I can't even remember what happened in JP3 but this one is in the same universe as Jurassic Park and thus presumably the sequel. There's a guy in the movie wearing a JP shirt (and he gets
yelled at for being inappropriate/insensitive

All of the Jurassic Park films take place in the same universe.
This takes place in 2015, over 20 years after the original.
Was the biggest for a while when I was a kid till they found bigger ones.

Already want the Bluray.
The original is directly referenced multiple times. 2 and 3 are unmentioned, not a "San Diego incident" or "Isla Sorna" in sight. Though they are still canon afaik.

The film really doesn't make any references at all to the two sequels and is mostly connected to the universe through references to John Hammond's dream of Jurassic Park. Basically, the film tries to forget about the two sequels much like the general populace would like to. Really, whether they say those two films happened or not, it changes nothing in this film.
Yes I was avoiding mentioning that spoiler at all by saying "some other stuff".

Let the kids have a sick day from School yesterday to go see it during the day in an empty Cinema. They all loved it. As most have said it's no JP 1, but it's much better than 2 and 3.
As the OT points out I just feel the main problem they faced in the film
was also the main problem with the film.

(made up dinosaurs for the sake of it)
Yeah I had a book when I was little that had Super and Ultrasaurus tower over Braciosaurus. Then this guy from Argentina comes stimping along...
So you can't book this stuff online? Weird, I guess it's good for the cinema because they can use it for publicity and hype, but it sounds like a shitty situation for the consumer.
:3 Me too, and I still have half an hour to go... Gunna get great seats and line is out the door. Awesome. Even made a friend in line.

I don't think you remember the sequences in this movie very well. Nothing they do is very stupid.

That seems like a common theme with Spielberg.
She was "Mean to the kids" so she had to go. Same deal with the Lawyer in the first one.
Aside from a few nitpicks like that, I really enjoyed the film. The InGen stuff was so satisfying to see.
Who knew Dodgson was nothing compared to fiendish Dr. Wu
I agree that the
made up dinosaurs for the sake of it
I-Rex
That being said, I enjoyed the main antagonistic dinosaur in this. She felt really dangerous and they definitely gave reasons to be scared of her.
I particularly enjoyed the playing up of the raised in captivity and trying to figure out her place in the food chain angles.
the T-Rex is KING and will come out on top one way or another
I saw it at 730. I remember just fine.
They don't mobilize every part of asset containment immediately, despite knowing how dangerous it is. They also don't halt and evacuate the park either until I.rex is well on its way to the outer edge of the tourist areas. Once the first team is wiped, they don't mobilize everyone else with lethal rounds but instead send one helicopter flown by an amateur pilot in a combat scenario, and they don't call in the military when they know full well that the IRex will likely breach the park walls (and it has already done so by the trams and gyro areas). Then it lets a bunch of airborne assets loose, and they are delayed in preparing for that, despite the fact that they knew it was coming (via cameras, tracking, and outer edge guards seeing them firsthand), which causes the deaths of who knows how many. That's not even touching the fact that despite having all those lab techs involved, nobody knew all the components of what was in the IRex except Wu and Kingpin, which makes no sense.
Lots of stupid decisions. I'd have to see it again to lay them all out in detail, but I don't want to. It was fine. An okay movie. But the plot shouldn't have happened at all with a park that size.
Very true, but
neither were really deserving of what they got in either case. Here especially- she wasn't overtly cruel to them or anything.

Kinda cool, my theater in the outskirts of Birmingham, AL had a fan built JP1 Jeep.
Also 3 or 4 guys dressed as Dr Grant.

my movie theater had a JP1 jeep in front of it. Don't know if it's fan made tho.

I feel just the opposite, it kind of exceeded my expectations considering the director was an unknown (to me) and how mediocre the previous two were.
I don't know of any places in NA that have you pick your seats like flights.
There's definately fan made ones around. I've seen one around in my local area.
I've been to some dine in theaters where you can.

If I ever get a Wrangler I might do one as well.
Such an awesome design yet nothing too crazy like a custom Batmobile or something.
