The Jurassic Park franchise is one of the highest-grossing film franchises of all time, with over $2 billion in total domestic earnings and approximately $5 billion worldwide. That box office success is indicative of the dedicated fanbase the franchise has garnered since the first installment was released in 1993. Originally based on the acclaimed book series by Michael Crichton, "Jurassic Park" explores an alternate reality where humans and dinosaurs exist together after scientists create dinosaurs from prehistoric DNA. Throughout the franchise, a group of paleontologists and, then, an animal expert (Chris Pratt), must protect the human race when the dinosaurs break out of their facility and threaten life as we know it.
The newest installment of the franchise, "Jurassic World Dominion," hit theaters on June 10, and while it's probably not the last Jurassic Park film we'll ever see (read: definitely not), director Colin Trevorrow has implied it's probably the last of the trilogy starring Pratt. "To me, ['Dominion'] is a culmination of one story that's been told," Trevorrow told Entertainment Weekly. "What was important for me was, when you watch 'Dominion,' you really feel like you are learning how much of a story that first set of movies was and how everything that happened in those movies actually informs what ultimately is able to happen in this."
