1) they thought it escaped by climbing out of the cage
2) who would've thought it can hide its thermal presence?

Finally watched it. Surprisingly way better than its trailers suggest -- dumb but extremely fun.

I'd say the trailers were a fair representation of the final film. The trailers were dumb, cheesy, had loads of CGI dinos and explosions. Same as the final product.

So... You no likey?

The fact that I like it should have been an indication....

Actually it was ok. I enjoyed it to an extent but I don't understand all these "its miles better than both sequels" stuff people are spweing out. The craft and skill evident in The Lost World is art compared to the comparitively hum drum action in this one. The 3rd and 4th movies really showed what a master Spielberg was.

Jurassic Park 1993 opening weekend : $47,026,828 million
Jurassic World 2015 opening weekend : $208,806,270 million

Jurassic Park 1993 worldwide : $1,029,153,882 billion
Jurassic World 2015 worldwide : ???

will surely hit the 1 billion spot and over take the old Jurassic park looking at how it had a very strong opening weekend

but the real question, can it settle for 1.6 billion ?

avengers age of ultron (1.3 billion) , furious 7 (1.5 billion)

don't forget the biggest movie of the year just a week before christmas, STAR WARS !

will be interesting to see how that does on the opening weekend of all time and where it stands worldwide

Wow, half a billion over the course of a weekend

Definitely knew it was going to gross big time but this quickly is amazing.

I just watched TLW and JP3 again, and I once again can say that JW actually is better than TLW and JP3.

TLW while was quite bloated and overly done. Sure, there were some tremendously good moments (T-Rex rampaging the streets... that's gold), but the movie never really shines throughout. It bares the signature of a Spielberg film, but this had to be one of his worst movies ever. Blame the source material? I'm not sure, it just didn't make the transition to the big screen too well. And the ending

Alrightly then, on to JP3.

JP3 - - it was a good ride, but it was simply a product of 'wanting more' in the least amount of time. Hollywood doing what it does best. The barely there plot and forgettable characters made JP3 the worst of the movies.

JW provided fans of the original JP what some of them always wanted - a working park with dinosaurs. How would that have felt... well, JW delivered in this regard.

It was a silly plot, and a bit of an excuse for another 'it went wrong' story.

But at the end of the day, JW still manages to deliver a thrilling ride worthy of an admission ticket... an absolute blast from start to finish.

I never really had a feeling that JW was going to be better (in any way) than JP1 , but felt it could easily surpass TLW and JP3 and it did.

The director himself admitted he didn't want the movie to be scientifically accurate (JW had the absolute opportunity to do so) but merely a work of fiction for entertainment purposes. It was entertaining, didn't rage me afterwards, didn't 'insult' the original, and in fact paid homage to JP1 in many ways.

Thanks to the reception, there will be more Jurassic World. Hopefully this time the plot won't be that silly and perhaps do a bit of TLW.

Having read the book, I have to interject here.

I read Michael Crichton's Lost World when it first came out, I have a feeling that he was "harassed" to finished the book!!

Hollywood wanted a sequel to the Big Blockbuster Jurassic Park, and paid him a BIG AMOUNT OF MONEY before he even put pen to paper. Key word here, pronto!!!!

As I said, I have a feeling he was harassed...

He actually took a page off Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The Lost World as a premise and used that it in his the book. And because of the harassment, he consciously or unconsciously made his second book... hard to film.

Which is why about 80% of the book when out the window during the script process

The book was more about conservation rather than a rescue mission (as in the movie). And in the movie, the whole ending was just Steven Spielbery homage to King Kong. Serious, you can see that right!!

My Additional Two Sen

In the wise words of Mr. Stringer Bell.

That's like a forty degree day. Ain't nobody got nuttin to say about a forty degree day. Fifty? Bring a smile to your face. Sixty? Shit, niggas are damn near barbecuing that mothafucka. Go down to twenty? Niggas get they bitch on. Get they blood complainin... but forty? Nobody give a FUCK about forty. Nobody remember forty, and ya'll niggas is giving me way too many forty degree days.

Jurassic World is a forty degree day movie. It's hardly going to be remembered two years from now. The trailer over the cliff sequence in TLW is bona fide classic nearly 20 years after it came out.

No high expectation to both Jurassic World and Star Wars, as story line must be "created" to earn money.
My friend watched and commented as remake of Jurassic Park with more type of dinosaurs. 1st people will be impress with hu ha wah....later will be scream and run....

While I always look forward to spinning the bluray of TLW - it'll always be the most uneven entry in the JP series - mixing some great gems:
- interesting mix of actors interacting off each other
- john Williams score goes in new direction (tribalish percussion)
- beautiful cinematography
- trailer attack
- camp attack
- gymnastics
- interracial genealogical mystery (as in ian's daughter)

with the clunkers:
- brining a baby trex into the trailer
- the ending in san diego
- various things other ppl complained about which I don't really notice - hence my short list of clunkers

to this day there is debate (on imdb) as to what actually happened on the ship during it's transit to san diego - this one had me stumped as well - something was cut here?

It was supposed to be raptors escaped the island but it got cut out. I headcanon by imagining the baby Trex went apeshit.

I wonder how much it cost to get an admission ticket for the park

Disney World charges USD 305, for one person for a 4 days pass...

I think this would be 10 x that at least and with 20K people visiting per day... That should keep the dinosaurs fed and the care takers paid... What do you think??

I hope you know I am hypothesizing (eg grabbing things out of my ass) and Jurassic World does not exist...

There's actually a scene where they wiped dinosaur crap all over them to cover their scents that didn't make it to the final cut.

After 2 decades of waiting, finally it's here...
Check it out and if you enjoyed it, why not SUBSCRIBE!

yeah I'm guessing more than USD 1000 for one person inclusive of cruise ship and hotel stay.

Actually, after writing this, I notice that I have not factored in the flight, boat and hotel charges, meaning the ticket price would probably be in the USD 7-8K at least. Not the VIP tickets that allows you to cut Q...

I remember in the first movie Donald Gennaro the lawyer telling Hammond we can charge ppl thousands to enter.
