Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Never doubt dinosaurs. “Jurassic World Dominion,” the latest installment in Universal’s Tyrannosaurus-sized film franchise, has finally crossed $1 billion globally. It took more than four months to get there, making “Dominion” one of the slowest films to gross $1 billion in its original run. Other blockbusters that reached $1 billion after three months, or longer, of playing on the big screen include “Finding Dory,” “Zootopia” and “Frozen.” That’s relatively quick compared to “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” which needed at least two decades and a few re-releases to join the club. But hey, a win is a win. To date, “Jurassic World Dominion” has collected $376 million at the domestic box office and $624 million internationally. Only three movies — including “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Top Gun: Maverick” — hit the billion-dollar mark in pandemic times. Unlike those films, “Dominion” had the advantage of playing in China, where it brought in $157 million.
In North America, “Jurassic World Dominion” stands as the third-highest grossing movie of the year behind “Top Gun: Maverick” ($709 million) and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” ($411 million). Elsewhere, the highest-grossing markets were Mexico ($43 million), Japan ($42 million), the U.K. ($40 million) and France ($29 million). Even with a mighty $1 billion in the bank, “Dominion” failed to live up to its predecessors in terms of box office ticket sales, as sixth entries in decades-old properties are wont to do. “Jurassic World,” which rebooted the popular sci-fi series in 2015, ended its theatrical run with $1.6 billion globally, while the 2018 sequel “Fallen Kingdom” tapped out with $1.3 billion globally.

“Jurassic Park” was one of them.Trevorrow, who directed both 2015’s “Jurassic World” and 2022’s “Jurassic World: Dominion,” explained in an interview with Empire that “There probably should have only been one Jurassic Park.”Steven Spielberg launched the franchise with the original movie in 1993. That spawned two more films, “The Lost World” (1997) and “Jurassic Park III” (2001).
Universal/Amblin’s Jurassic World Dominion recently crossed the $1B mark at the global box office, one of only three films to hit that milestone since the start of the Covid pandemic, a feat all the more impressive considering that its director seems to have had some serious doubts about the viability of the franchise from the start.
Zack Sharf “Jurassic World Dominion” recently crossed the coveted $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office, making it the third consecutive film in the franchise to hit that milestone. Moviegoers around the world seemingly can’t get enough of the “Jurassic” movies, but “Dominion” director Colin Trevorrow recently suggested to Empire magazine that none of the sequels should’ve even been made. In Trevorrow’s own words, the “Jurassic” franchise “probably” should’ve started and ended with Steven Spielberg’s 1993 original. “I specifically did something different than the other films in order to change the DNA of the franchise,” Trevorrow said about “Jurassic World Dominion.” “The previous five films are plots about dinosaurs. This one is a story about characters in a world in which they coexist with dinosaurs.”
“Jurassic World: Dominion” hit theaters this summer as a culmination of sorts for the franchise. For one, it marked an end to the trilogy Colin Trevorrow oversaw since 2015’s “Jurassic World.” But it also brought together “Jurassic Park” characters of old like Sam Neill‘s Alan Grant, Laura Dern‘s Ellie Sattler, and fan-favorite Jeff Goldblum‘s Ian Malcolm to tie up loose ends.
