Given the
lackluster reception to
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, it's understandable if fans would want to go back and revisit the original
Jurassic Park. Thankfully, you'll get the opportunity to do just that when Steven Spielberg's 1993 classic returns to theaters next month.
In celebration of
Jurassic Park's 25th Anniversary this summer, Fathom Events and Universal Pictures are teaming up to bring the cinematic blockbuster back to the big screen. Hold on to your butts because you're about to get shirtless Jeff Goldblum like you haven't seen him since '93 (or 2013 if you caught the 3D re-release).
More than 500 theaters nationwide will participate in the event with showtimes for three days: Sunday, Sept. 16, Tuesday, Sept. 18, and Wednesday, Sept. 19. Tickets can be purchased through
the Fathom Events website.
Based on Michael Crichton's book of the same name,
Jurassic Park was brought to life on the big screen with the creative vision of director Steven Spielberg. The blockbuster film brought in $357 million ($799.1 million adjusted for inflation) during its original theatrical run, and an additional $45.3 million from its 3D re-release in 2013. Two more films were released (
The Lost World and
Jurassic Park III) before
the franchise was rebooted in 2015 with
Jurassic World. A sequel,
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, was released this summer and though it failed to top its predecessor at the box office, the movie still brought in over $1.2 billion worldwide.
So if you want to see where this nearly $5 billion box office franchise began, be sure to catch
Jurassic Park in theaters for its 25th Anniversary.
