Jurassic World (2015): Reviving Steven Spielberg’s dinosaur franchise after a 14-year gap, Jurassic World introduced a fully operational dinosaur theme park that inevitably collapses due to hubris. Directed by Colin Trevorrow, it starred Chris Pratt as a raptor trainer and Bryce Dallas Howard as the park’s operations manager. Grossing $1.67 billion, it became the fourth-highest-grossing film at the time. The film leaned into nostalgia while critiquing consumerism and genetic engineering. Its star attraction, the Indominus rex, symbolized reckless innovation. Though criticized for thin character development, its visual effects and thrilling set pieces resonated with audiences. Pratt’s charismatic performance helped anchor the chaos. The film’s success launched a new trilogy and reaffirmed the franchise’s global appeal. Merchandising, theme park tie-ins, and social media buzz amplified its reach. While not as groundbreaking as the 1993 original, Jurassic World proved that familiar IP, updated with modern effects and pacing, could still dominate the box office in the streaming era.
