‘Jurassic World’ Was Huge…and Now, Poop Memes!
The news that Universal Pictures’ Jurassic World was huge is boring, so we’ve injected some life into this post with the following memes, one of which had me laughing to tears. The idea that pods transport guests through the new park is a great one, until you hit a land-mine of dinosaur shit.
But that’s just the icing on the cake. The single best Jurassic World meme was a blast at the overuse of CGI in the Jurassic Park sequel. Check out this hysterical parody that inserts CGI into the entire trailer, including a shot of Velociraptors riding motorcycles alongside Chris Pratt’s character!
As for box office, nobody expected Jurassic World to open as massive as it did. Box Office Mojo explains that it opened with a reported $204.6M, the 2nd biggest of all time.
Also stunning is the $307.2M the film made overseas for a cumulative $511.8M worldwide opening, which is the highest global bow in history, and not by some slim margin, explains the site. It is the first time a film has ever grossed more than $500 million in one weekend.
And now, dinosaur poop, courtesy of reddit!
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
