This is the recipe for success that theater owners have been waiting for over the course of the pandemic. It´s an important milestone."

"Dominion," a co-生産/産物 of 全世界の/万国共通の Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, is the third film in the "Jurassic World" trilogy, which began in 2015 and introduced characters played by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. The newest 分割払い brings 支援する actors Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum from Steven Spielberg´s 1993 "Jurassic Park."

Colin Trevorrow, who stewarded the "World" trilogy and directed the first film, returned to direct "Dominion," in which dinosaurs are no longer 含む/封じ込めるd and locusts are 脅すing the world´s food 供給(する).

The filmmakers have said "Dominion" is ーするつもりであるd to be the last of the "Jurassic World" films, which have been enormously profitable with over $3 billion in ticket sales. The first earned over $1.7 billion globally alone. 含むing the 初めの "Jurassic Park" trilogy, that number 急上昇するs to $5 billion.
