Oooh, anybody wanna start taking bets on which one will do better at da box office?? 
Whedon replied: "... and I'm too busy wishing this clip wasn't '70s-era sexist. She's a stiff, he's a life-force — really? Still?"

I think it'll be Jurassic World- IF it gets good enough public reviews- and simply because the Jurassic franchise is slightly better well known. I know many people who never read comic and wouldn't watch Avengers2, but would see another Jurassic. I'm also willing to bet the Jurassic has higher numbers in the Asian demographics.
Anyone else have something to add?

I'm pretty sure the box office winner will be Age of Ultron. I still love Jurassic Park but have no interest in Jurassic World.

I'm betting Avengers will kick JW's butt in the box office.
The MCU is still going strong, their last two movies were blockbusters and their TV shows seem to be doing well.
JPIII was 14! years ago and while it was successful in the box office, it was panned critically.
I'll watch Jurassic World but it's not a movie that I've been anxious to see.

Well, it does come out first, so it has that advantage. I know plenty of people who only go see a movie once or twice a year, and I doubt they'd go twice so close together...
Star Wars will prolly outdo both of 'em...

Is it me or was that scene not sexist? It was nerdist if anything. I mean I have a bachelors in science and you could easily put me in her role and a "lifeforce" woman in his role and I'd be saying similar stuff.
I don't know I just didn't get any sexist vibes coming from that scene. I got shoddy writing vibes but that's about it.

I normally try to avoid trailers, clips, promos, etc. I made an exception this time, and just watched the clip in question. I would say it is sexually suggestive, which doesn't necessarily equate to sexist, but I can see why Joss reacted the way he did. He has since apologized, but I don't think he should have.
I still have no interest. I have to assume they are treating this like a reboot, because if the history of the three other films in the franchise are still in play, anyone who felt safe going to that park is stupid.

Ok, lets say the park had been open for five years with no problems, and you got a free ticket. You wouldn't go?
Pass me an in flight cookie, I'm THERE.
PS we LUV aquariums and zoos at our house. That kinda thing would be right up our alley.

Not a reboot.
Other than the T-Rex in San Diego how much do you think the public would really know? I assume the first park disaster would be kind of an urban legend with a few people writing tell all books followed by denials and attempts to discredit them. When some new company comes in and overhauls the island and park I assume people would be cautious but curious. Some people would surely take the risk to see living dinosaurs and as more and more people come back perfectly safe I think the public would be all over it.
