Don't think JW is big enough overseas.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

I'll be contributing to Inside Out tonight and saw Jurassic World on Friday, glad to be part of something historic!
After 2nd weekend excluding China
Furious 7: $483 million
Jurassic World: $416 million
But JW will have a $300 million advantage on domestic over Furious 7 (which Age of Ultron didn't have).
It is going to be a close fight.
Possibly.
I think $1.6B is optimistic, even assuming $650M domestic.
Jurassic World will lose close to $200M of that advantage to the difference in China grosses. Like I said, Gitesh is being optimistic. If you sync up the territories by release date, I am pretty sure that JW is behind Age of Ultron overseas.
If JW beats AoU worldwide because of its domestic gross, it'd be kinda funny since furious 7 beat it due to its international BO.
Speaking of F7, has it passed Avengers yet?
Possibly.
I have a hard time believing JW will pass Avengers, let alone do 1.6 billion.
What the fuck.
o.o
Jurassic World will beat Age of Ultron due to its domestic gross. I think AoU will be on top overseas (unless JW blows up in Japan), but it won't be by the $150-225M that Jurassic World will be ahead domestically (depending on legs).
It doesn't look like Furious 7 will pass Avengers worldwide, unless Universal does a gross correction down the road. The film died last weekend.

I feel like they are lowballing JW again.
I think that Universal is doing the same thing they did last weekend. Father's Day will probably get them the second weekend record, even with a lower Friday/Saturday gross. However, they don't want to look foolish if they claim a record and then a soft Sunday gross loses it. This will be another close call.

Jurassic World should definitely beat Furious 7 and Avengers if it grosses $600m+ domestically (which is a near lock, now). The movie should be able to do $900m overseas.

Universal right now:
Watch Minions get a billion as well.

I wonder if Trevorrow is reconsidering coming back at this point lol.
I wonder what he got paid.

He says he wants to do a smaller film next. Though I highly suspect he's lobbying hard for a Star Wars movie. He tried to get the Episode VII job (Brad Bird even vouched and offered to co-direct).

It's at $918m without Japan and it has another month or so in the theaters. I think it'll get close, but not enough to squeak past.
How accurate are the-numbers? They're saying $1.52b as the final total. Do they have countries that didn't tracked by anyone else or something.

I had to look up how much the first one made in Japan. Only $45m. Yeah, I don't think Japan is going to push this one past $1b internationally.
$120,036,757 accord BOM.
Ah, misread. Thought it was about JW.

No worries. I thought I had once again done an early morning misread and posted the wrong thing like I did last week too.
