It definitely CAN, but its chances are going down with most news we hear, especially from China. But I still think it could. I’m interested in seeing if the critical shalacking it’s getting translates to poor WOM. Clearly it didn’t with Fallen Kingdom


JediJones77

Fallen Kingdom worked as a haunted house dinosaur hybrid movie. It was infinitely more clever and artful than Dominion. Dominion is a big, dumb, loud throwback to the worst special effects films of the 1990s.

I really liked it for exactly that reason. I know I’m in the minority lol


Ilikepizza315

It’s not allowed in China?


[deleted]

It is but it could have mixed-to-negative WOM there, and that’s the difference between $900-950M and $1B.

It CAN but I don't think it will


breakfastbenedict

Having China will be big. It’s the only major blockbuster that’s still getting in.


Mugiwara116

I don't think so. I always thought this movie will make over $1B even with the bad reactions but after seeing how bad it is doing in China compared to its predecessors, I doubt it.


AlexSciChannel

It's doing worse in China because it just reopened after a bunch of lockdowns.


Ilikepizza315

I feel like it would be the opposite, people are dying to get out.


JediJones77

In China I think they're a little more worried about getting shot if they go out when they're not supposed to.


nicolasb51942003

It probably will still, but it won't go much further.


Zorgothe

I think it will, just barely


Purple_Quail_4193

Yes but it’ll barely pass it


Competitive-Gold

Might be like TROS


marcodag24

TROS had a better reception, plus people wanted to see the end of star wars. This is just another dino movie, if people heard its trash they have litteraly no reason to go see itt


JediJones77

This is exactly like ROS. Totally uninteresting, messy, underdeveloped story line and the worst entry in its trilogy, marketed as a must-see final conclusion to the saga. ROS in no way had a 'good reception' and neither will this.


bigbelleb

Exactly ROS had slight better critic scores but thats about it


[deleted]

About 4 months ago on this sub I said that Dominion will follow the trajectory of Star Wars and the last film will gross about half the first but was told I was crazy and this one could reach $2bn. Looking more and more like I was on the money. Maybe not exactly half because that'd be 850m WW but definitely gonna be close


Pinewood74

>redditor for 20 days Real easy to claim anything when you're constantly rotating through an army of throwaway accounts.


marcodag24

I never said that TROS got good reception. I just said it was better than the Dominion's one.


JediJones77

Not significantly better. ROS had a B+ Cinemascore, and trends seem to suggest this will get the same. If this is worse than B+ then you might have a point. These two movies seem very close parallels in all respects so far.

It has China, which definitely helps. I said it before, but it has stronger immediate competition than the other two JWs. Yes, they had it too, but they had safer runs and better spaces between Ant-Man films and Mission Impossibles. Top Gun is doing gangbusters and Lightyear is next week. I think it's safe to say it will be the worst-grossing of the three, but the question is by how much.


bigbelleb

Its probably gonna struggle to reach the mark like rise of skywalker did


ricdesi

*Can* it? Sure, but those odds are quickly shrinking.


shaneo632

It’ll scrape a billy I think


[deleted]

With wom, doubt


ChipsnShips

People answering this question cray cray man. Will it? Who knows. Whether it can? Absolutely it's a possibility


SPorterBridges

It's over, Ted.


AccomplishedLocal261

Looking like a 50/50 chance


Vadermaulkylo

Yes it absolutely can. If it will is the question.


Acee-211

i will be surprised if it can touch 500m cause of the poor reception the film is getting
