The popcorn refill might be a local thing for you because I am a Stubs A-List member and I still get a full bucket refill every time.

Jurassic World was a really entertaining summer blockbuster movie. It felt more like the original movies than what we have been getting from the last two films. Now with that being said, I totally think this is a franchise that needs to be put out to pasture because these movies are becoming repetitive.

Yes, Disney/Pixar's "Elio" is considered a box office bust. It had the worst opening weekend of any Pixar film ever, earning only $21 million domestically and $35 million globally against a $150 million production budget.
Checking up over at Deadline, the toll for Elio in the U.S. is looking to be $55 million after 3 weeks. The word of mouth never kicked in on this one.
In the U.S. Elio can at least claim it will probably outgross Wish, but the international take has been much, much poorer than that film's; looking at Box Office Mojo it opened in third place in China the last week of June (where the How to Train Your Dragon remake has been doing decently), and the only major international markets left for it to open in are Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. Unless Japan is really receptive to it when it opens on August 1, Elio will struggle to get past $100 million total, and it will have undergrossed the Snow White remake significantly, the only compensation being that Snow White had the larger budget and thus lost more.

Sci-Fi animated originals from the Mouse have a solid history at failing at the box office, with the exception of Wall-E and then The Incredibles which sometimes get classified as Sci-Fi

The name Pixar isn’t must see TV anymore, but there popular IP names still bring a crowd
Brad Pitt is 61, so, both have dinosaurs!!
It's not the whole problem, but Pixar actually becoming Must/Only Stream TV thanks to the run of films sent to Disney+ is part of it...

Kids enjoyed New Jurassic, it was entertaining and did what it needed to do.

JW numbers keep getting revised upward.
I remember reading one article that said it would never catch dominion’s 145 million. It did.
I’m going to say this was easily my favorite movie of the year so far. I am plotting when I can go see it alone in a premium theater. I think the only movie with a chance of topping it is the Mandalorian.

I want to say there are scenes from the original book in the film but it’s been a moment.JW numbers keep getting revised upward.

News coming in from the weekend now has the total take of Elio so far at $96 million ($55 million in the U.S., $41 million internationally). So it will cross the $100 million mark at least, but it's still lagging far behind pretty much every would-be Disney tentpole released since Haunted Mansion in August 2023, which wrapped up at $117.5 million total. Pretty grim.

On the one hand, I wonder why. OTOH, I have very low interest.
But I’m not the target audience.

Stitch again, hopefully this tail methodology has been interesting.
972.7M earning 26.7 implying 1.026B
The holiday helped, it should get pass a billion in two weeks I’d say now. Big fun question will be if Jurassic is able to eventually overtake.

Rebirth has a scene where a family is in a raft and are being chased by a T-Rex through the river. This was from the OG book and was originally supposed to be in the first film but was dropped due to budgetary concerns. It is a great scene.

They show part of the T-Rex scene in the trailer, so not much of a spoiler alert.

I would lean towards no, I don’t expect WOM to be as strong for this one, but dinosaurs are also fairly review proof.
It’s fine, and does the job of providing entertainment.
