If the Jurasic Park movies released in 70's with animation technologies from 21st century, could them defeat Starwars and Jaws in Box Offices charts?
Lets start with the math: You're asking if one Steven Spielberg movie would outsell both of the others? The answer is yes. Hell, yes.In the Box Office openings, Jaws (ajusted to 2017) did $38MStar Wars (adjusted) did $27MJP did (adjusted) $74MSo just in the opening weekend, JP performed better than the other two in their full opinings COMBINED.Now JP had 20 years of advanced technology, technology so advanced, in fact that people still use the principles of the techniques created for digital editing, and the Dinosaurs are so real, last year, in the era of photoshop and computers and crazy jaded movie goers, People think Steven Spielberg killed a TriceratopsLiterally a movie from the future, a future where it still destroyed the combined box offices by $9M.I bet people would want to see that. The #2 movie the week JP opened? Cliffhanger. Which opened at $16M dropped 37% Jurassic Park was that far ahead of its time EVEN in its own time!What WOULD be a better question is if Terminator 2 AND Jurassic Park were released in 1977 which would perform better?Because while Terminator 2 opened at (adujsted) $56M, culturally, the world was in a different place. Dinosaurs V. Humaniod Killing Robots? Which would be more terrifying? Sociologically, we were heading into the Darkest Years of the Cold War. One offered the visio of science gone amuk. The other a bleak vision of the end of the world.I think T2 would have beaten everyone.
