Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom, the fifth film in the Jurassic franchise, hit $1 billion at the global box office, making it the 35th movie to reach that milestone.
Fallen Kingdom joins its predecessor, 2015’s “Jurassic World,” which ended its theatrical run with $1.7 billion. In North America, “Fallen Kingdom” has pocketed $304.8 million and $700.7 million from international territories. Universal, the studio behind the film, now has released seven billion-dollar grossing movies.
Set four years after the events of “Jurassic World,” “Fallen Kingdom” follows Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard as they attempt to salvage the remaining dinosaurs on Isla Nublar before a volcanic eruption threatens to destroy it.
B.D. Wong and Jeff Goldblum reprise their roles from the original film series, while Rafe Spall, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, and James Cromwell join the cast.
J.A. Bayona directed from a script by “Jurassic World” helmer Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly. Trevorrow also executive produced alongside Steven Spielberg.
