Ultron was the big superhero movie of the Summer. FF and Ant-Man aren't designed to be in that tier.

This isn't a tiring of superheroes, just shows there are other franchises that can make mega-bucks (which we already knew).

Not surprised. Went to a 1045am showing today, Sunday, and it was packed. Never seen that in an early morning movie.

I wonder if this causes any other blockbuster bomb this summer

Dude...WTF with the damn spoilers?

Which part? The park being a disaster or them using dinosaurs as weapons? Because both aspects are featured prominently in the trailers.

That's really a matter of opinion. The main thing about the movie is that it delivered in the action front and gave most original fans and new fans something to be happy about. I wasn't digging it at all early on in the movie, but I do feel like it eventually came around and delivered something entertaining and enjoyable in the end.

It will definitely appeal to the masses.

Terminator doesn't have Chris Pratt.

And a ton of people don't recognize Daenerys Targaryen or even know who she is.

Come on, man. That whole post was a dickhead move with spoilers in a thread not designated as such.

This one may surprise people. I'm looking forward to it. It could definitely turn out to be shite, but it's looking like a fun terminator movie to me. Something that the last couple failed at.

That's what I mean. A ton of parents just spent a ton of money to take their kids to Jurrasic World. The money may not be as free to go see Terminator that's not nearly as universally excitable as JW

I'm talking strictly money wise. It could dud out due to timing.

Terminator will not make nearly as much as JW even if it exceeds expectations. It's a guy movie. JW appealed to the entire family. All ages.

Very true. I think if it's good, word of mouth will get around and it will make good money. If it's bad, it won't. I know I'm taking my oldest kid to see it, where as my entire family went to see JW. I think that says a lot about the difference between the two.

Stop crying.

If you don't want the possibility of spoilers, don't open a thread about a movie you haven't seen.

Simple as that. It shouldn't matter weather it is labeled a Spoiler" thread or not.
