The Jurassic Park series launched back in 1993 with its debut film and became a global sensation, dominating not only the box office around the world but also earning critical praise. The 1998 sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park was also a financial success, yet its critical reaction wasn’t nearly as strong. In 2001, Jurassic Park III landed in theaters and was mostly a financial and critical disappointment, resulting in the series stagnating for more than a decade.
When Jurassic World landed in theaters in 2015, serving not only as a sequel to the original series but also as a reboot by shifting its focus to new characters, it earned relatively positive reviews, but it was its financial success that took most of the industry by surprise. The film went on to earn a staggering $1.67 billion worldwide, becoming one of the most successful films in history and solidifying the staying power of the series.
Universal Studios honored the reboot last year by overhauling its Jurassic Park ride and converting it into an updated Jurassic World experience.
The next film in the series, Jurassic World: Dominion, is slated to hit theaters on June 11, 2021.
