Why do the Jurassic World movies make so much money?
Coming up in July is the triple whammy of Superman, Fantastic 4, and the new Jurassic World. And with trailers for all of them out now I've been seeing a lot of debate about which movie will make the most and which will make the least, with different people confidently predicting literally every possible order for the three movies. Now the first two definitely have a lot going for them Superman is the start of a new universe and a reboot of a beloved franchise, Fantastic 4 is a Marvel movie and one that has already generated a lot of trailer hype for doing something that looks very unique as far as superhero movies go. But then there's Jurassic World. My first instinct would be to think it's barely even a contender. Its trailer counts don't compare to those of the other two from what I've seen. Relative to the other two I've hardly seen anyone talking about it at all. I don't see huge fanbases and communities excitedly discussing this movie or its trailer, if anything I've seen more people making fun of it and complaining about how this franchise is getting repetitive and just trying to cash in on nostalgia. And yet everyone still seems to see it as a serious contender for the most successful movie of this July because the other Jurassic World movies have consistently made over a billion dollars. So why is that? I don't feel like this franchise has a huge fanbase outside of the very first Jurassic Park movie, I don't hear people say many good things about the new movies, in fact relative to franchises like Marvel I barely even hear people talk about Jurassic World movies at all. And yet they always make a billion. Can anyone offer any insights into why this franchise is consistently successful going against other franchises that in terms of hype should be crushing it every time? Am I just in the wrong circles on the internet and in reality everybody is losing their minds with excitement to see another Jurassic World movie? If people are excited, that's awesome for them. I just don't feel like I've met anyone who's that excited.
