Taking a bite out of box office: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has not done nearly as good as its predecessor at the box office. Jurassic World was the number one film at the box office three weeks running and in those weeks grossed over $445 million domestically. Fallen Kingdom has dropped to the second film at the box office in its third weekend and has only grossed $333 million domestically. 

“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” has more likeable dinosaurs than characters

Mixed reception: The early trailer of Ready Player One excited fans due to it prominently featuring The Iron Giant, a character from a 1999 animated film who hasnt been seen in any media since his debut film. Many fans were disappointed when, in the later trailers and final film, the character was seen annihilating people in a huge battle. In the original film, the Giant is shown to be a peaceful character who specifically avoids fighting even though people are very frightened by its extraterrestrial origins.

Boys best friend: Miguel is constantly trailed by Dante, a stray Xoloitzcuintle, better known as the Mexican Hairless Dog. Xolos often appear in the work of Frida Kahlo, who also appears in Coco voiced by Natalia Cordova-Buckley.
