IMAX and Universal Pictures announced today that Jurassic World, the second-highest grossing film in IMAX history, is returning to the large-screen format. Beginning August 28, Jurassic World will receive a special week-long engagement in domestic IMAX® 3D theatres.

"Starting with its record-shattering debut in IMAX theatres around the globe, Jurassic World truly has become a cultural phenomenon," said Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment. "We're proud to have been a part of this ground-breaking release and now we look forward to offering audiences another opportunity to experience Jurassic World in IMAX."

"The extraordinary success of the IMAX release of Jurassic World was driven by audiences who needed to become immersed in every wondrous and heart-racing scene in the film," said Nick Carpou, President of Distribution, Universal Pictures. "We are proud to partner with IMAX once again to give moviegoers what they have demanded: another chance to see Jurassic World this summer in this incredible format."

Located off the coast of Costa Rica, the Jurassic World luxury resort provides a habitat for an array of genetically engineered dinosaurs, including the vicious and intelligent Indominus rex. When the massive creature escapes, it sets off a chain reaction that causes the other dinos to run amok. Now, it's up to a former military man and animal expert (Chris Pratt) to use his special skills to save two young brothers and the rest of the tourists from an all-out, prehistoric assault.

Jurassic World 2 will open in theaters June 22, 2018.
