I'm going with Stranger Things for several reasons.

1) JW: wasn't a flop but it didn't do nearly as good as the first one. There is no buzz around this movie and I honestly think no one really cares to see another. They have made 5 or 6 of these movies. There is no buzz. Lets also admit there has been more than one JP pinball games already where is the buzz for another one over another title worthy of Comic Con coverage.

2) Stranger Things: Despite the fact I'm not a fan of the TV show, a lot of people are and the TV show has a lot of buzz. The new series just came out which NetFlix would totally embrace at comic con. No one has ever made a Netflix pinball game so this would be a first, that is buzz.

3) Elvira: She's really old news in Hollywood and the comic con audience. I'd go with no chance here. Elvira is popular pinball title but not worthy of comic con reveal.

4) Music Pin: No chance you would debut that at comic con unless it was Queen which had a recent movie. Zero Chance.

I'm going with Stranger things 110% because of the reveal location. There is no new JW movie being promoted right now and wouldn't warrant a comic con reveal. Stranger Things is a hot comic con title.

I'm going with Stranger Things NOT JW.

Couple things... Jurassic World grossed 652 million vs. Fallen Kingdome $417 that is a massive drop of $235 million dollars. Keep in mind if you adjust the gross then Fallen Kingdom is actually only the 4th highest grossing JP movie out of 5.

The original after adjustment for ticket prices was 776 making it #1. So my point is JWFK was a let down compared to JW.

JWFK right now is the 25th highest grossing movie without inflation factor in... with inflation its 131 all time.

Still its a lot of money I agree but a lot less than the previous movie. I think my main point is there is no buzz for this franchise, and part 3 doesn't come out until 2021.

Stranger Things I think makes more sense because its a hot buzz tv show with a huge following.

I'm putting all my marbles on seeing Stranger Things, because its comic con, and the show just released, makes the most sense.

Also with the way Stern has been rushing games, this seems like the right title, get something done while the iron is HOT! JW the movie was last summer, the next movie isn't until two summers from now no rush there. I think common sense and logic wins and you'll see Stranger Things, probably a game not much different than Walking Dead.

The numbers I posted are 110% correct and Box Office Mojo does have the adjusted numbers for JP series. I was only posting North America numbers, World wide numbers the studios don't even get half that money. As for example in China they're getting a small fraction of theatrical run and sometimes they don't get any. Many times those markets buy into the film for their market, they pay one price and they own the film in that market. When they're making a new movie most of the time they sell foreign markets in advance to raise the money to make the movie. Studios get about 80% of the gross the opening weekend in north america and it goes down to as low as 30% at some point. Studios goal is to make its money back on a theatrical run but to do that they need to gross back 3 times the budget. Many directors, actors, and producers get points on a theatrical run, the money for the studios is everything after the box office.

Theatrical runs are advertisement for the films for the next 25 years where they really make money... selling rights to cable, netflix, dvd, and licensing.

Either way here is the link to JP series adjusted and unadjusted grosses: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=jurassicpark.htm

As you will clearly see the latest JP film is second to last in gross after the adjustment. We're talking about NA only. BTW many films didn't get tracked for overseas, hence there are no numbers for much older movies.

Can you say Stranger Things??? Stranger Things pinball is coming soon!

Law I've read a few of your posts and nearly 100% of the time you're wrong. You could be right here, but I'm betting on Stranger Things.

Why take this game to comic con if its JP series pinball? No one will care! Its a cosplay comic book convention, Stranger Things fits right in!

Its the new hip thing, Netflix probably is behind the presentation, more PR for Netflix at a time they're about to go head to head with Disney.

I'm betting 110% on Stranger Things.

We'll see who's right!

I think you meant to say insanely brilliant which I would actually agree with you!! Thank you! Here some pics of T2.

Stern right now is a ship without a rudder. They might finally be letting all the negative reviews, pressure from other pinball companies, and decrease in sales impact their thought process. They're looking for home runs like Metallica, Ghostbusters and ACDC. You don't get them with a barrow black knight, Black Knight was a waste of their time because home buyers wouldn't touch that... I think maybe they overreached with Beatles thinking the #1 rated band of all-time a game based on their music will sell with little to no effort put into the game. I think what they learned is what I already knew Beatles and pinball isn't a match, especially at 8 to 25k. Deadpool is not a huge seller, nice game though, but its not based on the movie, and doesn't feature a rated R mode. If they're looking for a next home run you need a title that both the public home buyer/entertainment center and the pinball buyer can both get behind.

Music pins there is only a few that make sense... Queen, Ozzy, M Crew, I personally think Beastie Boys would ring up the sales.

On the movie side, doing a new Adams Family I think might work, or a movie based on a comedy like Caddyshack, Animal House, Blues Brothers, or even work towards Matrix. How about this wild card go back and do the Terminator series with the color screen.

They need to do something big... say what you want about JJP but their themes right now are all grand slams, Toy Story, Guns N Roses and Wonka.

Stern is falling behind and JJP is ramping up! It's getting very interesting.

PS: I took these pictures for you LAST NIGHT! Now I can't get super incredible pictures of it without pulling it out, taking off the glass, etc. I didn't have time for that. This machine is near perfect. Shopped, collector toys, color screen, powder coated, and more.

Because Law asked me to share them and also because I think that should be a theme Stern should consider now that you can incorporate movie clips.

Thats funny!
