“A billion kisses to everyone who watched and supported #JurassicWorldDominion – we officially crossed $1 BILLION at the global box office!! As someone who, like so many others, poured my heart and soul into making these movies, it means the world how you all showed up. While none of us definitively know what is ahead, we do know that we would’ve never been able to make these films without the support of Jurassic fans. I’ve been texting with the cast and director today, all of us cheering that the film reached this incredible milestone in theaters. It’s no small feat. Again and again we are expressing to each other how grateful we feel for the experience, for one another, and above all, for the audience. Thank you ❤️,” Howard shared. You can view her post below:

This week, it was revealed by Metro that Howard was asked to lose weight for the movie, but director Colin Trevorrow came to the star’s defense. Metro asked Howard what she hopes Jurassic World: Dominion will mean for women’s representation in action movies, and Howard replied with the following:
“What being in this third film allowed, how do I say this, how do I say this, how do I say this… [I’ve] been asked to not use my natural body in cinema.” She added, “On the third movie, it was actually because there were so many women cast, it was something that Colin [Trevorrow] felt very strongly about in terms of protecting me… because the conversation came up again, ‘We need to ask Bryce to lose weight,’ he was like, ‘There are lots of different kinds of women on this planet and there are lots of different kinds of women in our film’ and I got to do so many stunts that wouldn’t have been possible if I had been dieting.”
She added, “So I’m really thrilled [at] all the action I got to do, and I got to do it with my body, she was at her maximum strength, and I hope it is just yet another indication of what’s possible.”
Jurassic World: Dominion is out on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital HD, and available on Peacock.
