Pre-orders for the Jurassic Park Universal Essentials Collection can be found here on Amazon for $34.99 with a release date set for June 27th. Superfans can also grab the Jurassic World Ultimate Collection 4K Blu-ray box set, which features all of the dinosaur movies wrapped in SteelBook cases. It's available to pre-order here at Best Buy (exclusive) for $119.99 with a release date set for Halloween.
Last year's Jurassic World Dominion served as a culmination of the entire Jurassic World / Jurassic Park
franchise, so it would seem that the contents of that Ultimate Collection box set are going to be definitive for the foreseeable future. However, it seems unlikely that such a profitable franchise will stay dormant for long. Stay tuned for more details on the future of the Jurassic World franchise and the Jurassic Park 30th anniversary celebrations.
