Jurassic Park is Number 1 At The Weekend Box Office!
27 years after the original release Jurassic Park has dominated the weekend box office in the US, hitting the number 1 spot for the fourth time since 1993.
Movie theaters have begun to gradually open up again, with some outdoor drive-ins across the country showcasing movies to eager film buffs. Jurassic Park was one of the movies shown, and earned a whopping $517.6K across 230 sites!
Deadline also reported that Spielberg’s Jaws was shown at 187 locations, earning $516.3K, making both Universal movies take the number 1 and number 2 spot!
Back in 1993 when Jurassic Park was released it held the number 1 spot at the box office for three weekends in a row, and with this weekends ticket sales the movie now sits on a total domestic intake of $404.3M.
This movie continues to entertain audiences and with the sixth Jurassic Park movie now back in production, it’s safe to say this franchise isn’t going away anytime soon!
We hope you’re enjoying Jurassic June so far and if you haven’t already make sure to follow Stan Winston School on Twitter who have been dropping some incredible behind the scenes content from the original trilogy.
And along with videos and photos of the dinosaurs we already know, the team at Stan Winston School shared with us never-before-seen photos of the Mamenchisaurus from The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
Such a beautiful sculpt! The dinosaur was unfortunately only seen in computer-generated form in the game trail sequence.
