No one will wait until actual numbers come in, so there’s a lot of guessing about “Jurassic World” and the box office. The final numbers for this weekend will be huge, somewhere between $160 million and $200 million. The trades are hilarious trying to call it right now before 10am Eastern.

Some number will be correct. But the main thing is, “Jurassic World” defied its critics. I love how some reviews have gone to great lengths to really savage the director, etc. Hey, it’s a dinosaur movie! Give it a rest. “Jurassic World” is a lot of fun, very entertaining. It’s perfect for a hot, humid weekend. It’s not “MacBeth,” kids.

So stay tuned and keep refreshing as the numbers come in…
