JURASSIC WORLD Tracking For Massive $100M-$130M+ Opening; Plus New TV Spot & Featurette
Early tracking data for Universal's mega-sequel Jurassic World is out and it's indicating that Chris Pratt, Colin Trevorrow, and the Jurassic team are going to be very, very happy come June! Come check it out! Also, take a look at a cool new TV spot and Pratt's latest video journal entry!
This June, Chris Pratt (Guardians Of The Galaxy) may have another massive hit on his hands as early tracking data for Universal's Jurassic World is indicating the highly anticipated dino sequel is currently on track for a $100M to $130M opening. This is more or less in line with Warner Bros.' Man Of Steel, which opened during the same weekend in 2013 to an impressive $116.6M domestically. Additionally, awareness for the fourth Jurassic Park installment is currently in the 90% range and unaided awareness for the film is much higher than Warner Bros.’ San Andreas, which stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (Furious 7) and opens next weekend. Jurassic World doesn't arrive until June 12th, so this early tracking report is very good news for the film's box office prospects.
Deadline adds that even though the box office is up about 16% when compared to last summer, Jurassic World may end up being one of the last films this summer to open above $100M. Terminator: Genisys, Minions, Ant-Man, and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation have potential, but it's still too early to say whether or not they'll cross the $100M mark or merely come close.
