Congratulations, Jurassic World. Not sure if deserved though. What do you guys think ?


Not deserved. It's a silly movie that assumes that the viewer is stupid.

I was wondering when you'd show up ..

JW's weekend numbers got adjusted up.  Its like the third or fourth week that it happened.  It still needs to make $34.6 million more domestically to surpass Titanic's domestic grand total.

It will definitely surpass Titanic's domestic gross

Is Terminator Genisys hitting theaters in China? If so,when?


Looks like I answered my own question, the good news that it will be played in China but the bad news is that it will have to wait at least a month before it hits theaters.


Now I know the exact date for the Chinese release date for Genisys: August 23. Come on China, you are now it's only hope for a sequel.

Unfortunately it will need UNiversal/Legendary's help for it to surpass Titanic. Meaning they need to increase the theatre count to a thousand or so more near the end of JW's run for it to surpass it. If they don't then JW will only end up with 644m+ by it's 16th week. I arrived with this estimate by comparing its gross to The Avengers 8th week in which it earned almost the same amount in its weekend. From then on until its 17th week it grossed 19m more. Disney expanded its screen count to a further 1700 screens after that which is why it was able to get to 623m+. If Disney did not expand it then TA would not have reached even 618m.

Why would you want a sequel ?

Chances are they won't use their resources in that regard. Universal is one of the more modest studios when it comes to grosses.
