Does it freak you guys out that if you give Worthington an authentic American accent that he can't currently pull off that he would become indistinguishable from Pratt?

Dudes are secret twins.

What?

 

[Travo]

You son of a bitch.

Sorry, I'm at a point this month where my money is for bills and food. Rocky will have to wait.

 

[DMczaf]

Would Cameron pulling a Katie Holmes on Worthington in Avatar 2-7 be the meanest thing anyone has ever done?

 

[Oersted]

Marketing probably helped Star Wars quite a bit. It was everywhere, attached to everything that had nothing to do with the movie itself.

Little bit too much on the "well, yeah, obviously " side of things.

Spoiler

Or am I missing the joke here.

[FTF]

It took Avatar 45 days to do 2 billion. Whats TFA at like 17 days?

I think TFA will be fine.

No, that's not how it works.

TFA's goal is Titanic, and hopefully its gets there for #2 WW.

So you're saying keep re-releasing until you beat both Titanic and Avatar?

Pratt has charm and Worthington has cardboard box.

 

[Eidan]

A movie that few people loved, but likely had the most repeat theatre viewings of any film this millennium.

People must be masochists.

Yeah, I'd say those who loved it probably saw it a ton. I don't personally know anyone who decided to see it twice, but I'm sure they're out there.

 

[rekameohs]

lol I even liked Avatar and I know Worthington is basura

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Do we have any idea what the percentage of tickets bought are repeats yet?

How difficult is it to get those sorts of numbers, anyway? Obviously they're gonna have to be estimates - box-office doesn't know which ticket is a 2nd or 3rd viewing

I don't know if we have those numbers but I'd guess your average movie goer is going to see TFA 1-2 times while the hardcore are seeing it 3-4 times.

I'd assume polling would be the only way to gauge it.

God dayum.

My mate has a bet that TFA beats Avatar's worldwide gross by June, at this rate it doesn't look like he'll win that bet.

Chris Pratt is a charisma black hole in Jurassic World.

Definitely makes Worthington in Avatar seem like prince fucking charming in comparison.

That was a terrible bet.

god damn what the fuck

people REALLY hate jurassic world

 

[firelogic]

Outside of the effects/3D, I didn't much like Avatar. Maybe a second viewing 6 years later will alter my opinion? Or I could watch TFA again...decisions decisions.

 

[Dead]

What exactly was charming about Pratt in JW. Dude was a lame brick fuck in that movie. Nothing like Guardians of th Galaxy.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Stop arguing, we all know cardboard of the year belongs to boyega.

Chris Pratt is the only human being in Jurassic World that has anything going for him, though.

I liked the Ian Malcolm fanboy.

 

[TeddyBoy]

That was a terrible bet.

I told him it wouldn't happen because of exchange rates but he'd already made the bet by the time he told me about it.

I imagine he'll be praying that the Chinese opening is some $500m god.

Those divorcing but not really we forgot parents had a lot going for them.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I keep forgetting Judy Greer was in that movie.

How the fuck do you manage THAT, Trevorrow? Making Judy Greer forgettable.

 

[Branduil]

I liked the Ian Malcolm fanboy.

He had like 5 minutes of screentime, though.

I suppose anyone looks good next to Ms. Heels and the plot armor kids.

They couldn't even sneak in a clothes changing scene for me. 😫

No that's doormat of the year

Guys, what should I put on my sandwitch?

Guys, what should I put on my sandwitch?

I'm feelin pesto, mayo, cheese, turkey and bacon on a ciabatta. Toasted ofc.

I slice of bread, and a slice of cheese.

It's really quite remarkable how consistently you have objectionable opinions. Saying Pratt isn't anything special is one thing but so bad he makes Worthington look good? Yeesh

You could in theory track repeat ticket sales through Fandango accounts. Or each theatre chain's customer rewards program that ties every purchase to a particular account.

I'm not sure how you could reasonably come up with any kind of estimate beyond that though.

 

[Branduil]

I slice of bread, and a slice of cheese.

The Sam Worthington Special.

 

[guek]

I slice of bread, and a slice of cheese.

No butter?

 

[Blader]

Worthington is shit in most films. But he was fine in Avatar. He also outperformed Bale in Salvation, so go figure.

Yeah, but Cameron also got a weak performance out of Sigourney in Avatar, so they cancel each other out.

No he didn't. This myth you keep pushing will never make it true.

He's shit in Avatar. He's shit in Terminator. He's shit in Titans. He's shit in Black Ops. He's shit in Black Ops 2. He's shit in Black Ops 3, and he ain't even in it!

THE NUMBERS MASON

 

[freenudemacusers]

The Sam Worthington Special.

Use Kraft only, imitation American cheese

 

[wachie]

I'd assume polling would be the only way to gauge it.

I'd assume Fandango can provide some data which can be reasonably extrapolated.

 

[Branduil]

So, TFA has actually had super consistent drops so far. 40% in weekend 2, 40-ish% in weekend 3 depending on the actuals.

 

[kswiston]

Second weekend drop had to work with that 57m from the previous Thursday openings.

 

[Branduil]

Second weekend drop had to work with that 57m from the previous Thursday openings.

That's true, although I assume a good portion of that $57m would have been distributed to the rest of the weekend if the Thursday previews didn't exist.

Monday's number should be really interesting.
