Jurassic Park, the film that made the prequels possible in terms of VFX by ILM, turns thirty this year and returns to cinemas in the US from August 25th and in the UK from September 1st.
The movie will be re-released in RealD 3D-equipped theaters across North America.
Jurassic Park was converted to 3D in 2013 for the film’s 20th anniversary. The original 1993 release of the film shattered box office records, setting a new benchmark at the time for the highest-grossing film in history with $357M domestic, $978M worldwide. The pic’s 2013 re-release grossed an additional $45M stateside. The total lifetime total of the Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum movie is $404.2M domestic, and $1.1 billion worldwide.
Early showings of the 3D-exclusive presentation will begin at 4pm on Thursday, August 24.
“There’s truly no better way to see Jurassic Park than on the big screen,” said Jim Orr, president of domestic theatrical distribution for Universal Pictures. “The monumental impact it made back in 1993 stands as a true testament to Steven Spielberg’s unparalleled genius. Not only did it firmly secure its place as a timeless classic, but its energy and excitement remain as vibrant as ever. With this release in RealD 3D cinemas across the US and Canada, we’re thrilled to offer moviegoers the chance to rediscover this movie once again on a big screen.”
Sean Spencer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for RealD, added, “For audiences who have not experienced this beloved classic on the big screen in years, now is the chance to see the original Jurassic Park in 3D. This is summertime event moviegoing the way it was meant to be seen.”
