JURASSIC WORLD v.2 (Dragonlord's Review)

[MiniCraque]

In just over a year Chris Pratt has gone from being a secondary character on a successful tv show to launching 3 franchises(Lego Movie, GoTG and JW) to massive success. Has anyone ever had a better year and a half?

Not a movie buff so I wouldn't know if any of today's big names came out of nowhere like that, but in recent times Sam Worthington comes to mind with Terminator, Avatar and Clash of the Titans. Nobody outside of people who had seen a few Australian independent films had a clue about him.

Pratt is arguably ahead though since Terminator and Clash weren't very good.

I thought the movie was fun, but certainly stupid at parts. I laughed hysterically when the raptor gets kicked into the fireplace and immediately burns up. That was very Simpsonesque.

Real-Life Jurassic Park Would Cost Over $23 Billion to Build

Not even Jurassic World's insane box office return could support a fraction of the cost it would require to build a real-life dinosaur park. If the events of the Jurassic movies didn't make it clear enough a dinosaur park is an awful idea, the required investment will probably slam the gates of Jurassic Park.

Just how much would it take to build a real Jurassic Park? Well, the two islands alone would cost about $10 billion dollars according to estimates based on two islands amounting to 66 square miles off the coast of Costa Rica. The research and legal team (better spend a little extra on legal and insurance!) would amount to almost $8 million dollars!

Then, of course, the park would have to create dinosaur clones which racks up the tab another $8.5 million dollars. Getting that DNA in the first place - $9 million. The park itself, based on the cost of the world's largest theme parks, clocks in at $1.5 billion. That seems to be modest, too, for a park containing dinosaurs. We're not done. The park isn't going to run itself. Employees and operating expenses would cost over $11 billion a year. $32 million a day and we're still. Not. Done. The dinosaurs need to be fed and cared for which is going to cost over $200 million a year.

Stupeflix estimates the total of all of these expenses comes to $23,432,400,000. If you happen to have that chunk of change laying around, do us all a favor and make Jurassic Park a thing. That is, if you can manage to swing to $11,907,000,000 it would cost yearly to keep the park operating - not including lawsuits for guests who get eaten.

Walked out of the theater after the scene where the two kids run from a 50 foot monster, jump off a short waterfall and then lay & relax in the mud giggling, in a restricted part of the park, filled with dangerous dinosaurs. The movie was made for pre-teens.

Disney must be pissed that Dino-might took out both Avengers movies. Though I predict Star Wars will destroy all records this christmas.

Yea I honestly think.Star wars is gonna kill. The prequel did great I believe.
This time you have two shows hyping the movie The clone wars which ended and rebels which is starting it's second season.
The Zuf... Disney hype machine marketing to the millions of kids and adults and you get an easy billion.

Edit: plus the new battlefront

That yearly operating cost would explain why they needed to create the I-Rex as their newest attraction a mere 20 years of the park being open. $11B a year is astronomical - that would be $30M a DAY!

Saw this on the net sunday morning. Yawn, good thing i didnt pay for this cgi crap. Embarrassing acting and poor plot. Needed more of the red hair chick in revealing clothes. The big bad custom dinosaurs didnt even put up a fight in its death scene, lol.

They need their 20,000 customer to spend at least 1,500 to stay in the black.
Did they mention how much tickets cost??

They would go bankrupt on legal fees alone

The kids couldve made the movie much more suspenseful, same with the red head. Most people would lose their minds even being stranded in a real jungle with wild animals. Movie is made for kids which is fine. Again decent family film.

And lol at chris pratt kissing her in the middle of chaos

Spoiler

I also cringed when the kids said
"Your boyfriend is a badass"

I think you'd be surprised. Repeat business is very important to making the biggest films so big. Movies like Avatar and Avengers had such huge totals because people would go see it, then go see it again with a different group of people, then go see it again in 3D or IMAX, then go see it again a month later with somebody who hadn't seen it yet...

To put some numbers to it: if you look at Avengers final total of $623mil that would equate to about 78mil tickets sold domestically. That's a full quarter of the total US population, or 54% of the people aged 10-45. I really doubt it got that kind of saturation, so there had to be a significant number of people buying multiple tickets.

Well colour me surprised.

Makes sense. I've never seen a film twice at the cinema and can't think of anyone ever telling me they had either but from those stats people must be!

The prequels did indeed do very well. Ep1 and Ep3 were both #1 for their year and Ep1 is currently #5 for all time unadjusted gross. Ep2 was #3 for it's year but it lost to Spider-Man and LotR:TTT while still cracking the $300mil barrier.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Chris Pratt's time in the limelight has guaranteed that GOTG 2 is going to make an even bigger load of cash.

 

[V Belfort]

movie sucks.

 

[ShoelessRye]

Movie spends too much time setting groundwork for the next movie than having a storyline for this one. Kids are cringeworthy bad - their whole storyline is really bad and I don't even know why it was in there. The attempted bonding moments between the brothers - oh my gawd it was painful.

BDH and Owen characters were treated almost like with a wink to the audience not to take the movie seriously. I mean she ran around the whole damn time in heels.

Hahaha! Would've been sweet if he had star lord's mask or something.

No doubt GOTG helped it. It still would've made a fuckton of money, obviously.

That's pretty cool of Marvel.
