The debate should be settled once and for all – Shall it be Superman, Jurassic World, or Fantastic Four? Since the trailers are out and the hype is high, design and web forums are split on which blockbuster will wipe the competition out this summer. And with all these opinions being thrown across the boards? Let’s just say they are wild.
One end of the scale had Jurassic World strong as crazy fans shouting in its favor. Jon Coscia says, “It’s gonna be Jurassic World; people love watching other people getting eaten by dinosaurs.” And he is right because those movies have been hitting since the very end of their runs in theaters. Who doesn’t love to see those dino-chomps? Then, J. Jonah Jameson (yes, that was his display name) roared, “Oh yay, the same boring Dino movie for the… what? 6, 8, 9th time?” No! Some are just weary of the prehistoric mayhem.
Then there is Superman, garnering love. BrotherE informed us, “Superman already tracking with the most sold tickets on First day.” And LK remarked, “Superman is winning both in box office and enjoyment at correct…Jurassic world looks amazing but it’s the same thing over and over.” So does combining nostalgia with a fresh take equal box office triumph? Probably. But then, less stars join F-Twenty-Four.
F4 is…strangely divisive while Todd Steven Burroughs maintains, “I’ve loved #TheFantasticFour my whole life but #Superman all the way!!!!” And some, like ISpotLies, are obviously not buying: “Not fantastic four lol.” And this opens the door to the entire “female-led” debate, with dex0run snappily saying, “Female-led Jurassic Park and female-led Fantastic Four vs male-led Superman? I wonder which one moviegoers in 2025 will prefer. 😏” Oops.
But box office predictions never come easy. Nicholas E. Regan thinks it’s a close call: “Superman and F4 are going to be neck and neck, but if Jurassic World is good, it could actually be the sleeper movie of the summer.” And Maga4ever162020 (yes, really) hedges its bets: “Superman, Jurassic with FF close behind Jurassic.”
So who will really? I mean, really, toss-up. Superman has all the hype, Jurassic World has all the legacy, and the Fantastic Four have potential. But going on the poor overt numbers based on how angry people are on Twitter, maybe, just maybe, it’s going to be Superman.
One thing we can be sure of summer’s worldwide box office is going to be a bloodbath. And we are here for it.
