And even today, 27 years later, Spielberg’s creature feature continues to add a few bucks to the milestone figure: Last weekend, Jurassic Park made $517,000 in theaters, becoming the biggest movie in North America yet again. A 2013 3D re-release added another $118 million to the number. The blockbuster’s theatrical run lasted for over a year and a half, finally wrapping up in October 1994 with a worldwide total of $912 million (or $1.6 billion in 2020 dollars).
Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park arrived in 1993 to an opening-weekend gross of $47 million - massive, for the time.
