    I’m genuinely surprised the sequels are making money. I didn’t see any of them in theatres. I didn’t think people cared about this franchise. Maybe some are going mainly for the visuals, that’s the main reason I go to see the Jurassic movies

      The second one did well, but the third made half what the second made. I dont expect we’ll see a fourth

        All of the sequels (2–5) were being filmed and made at the same time. So they’re already almost done, no way we’re not getting all of them

        It still made more than most blockbusters could dream of. Literally the 16th highest box office ever. We’re definitely getting a 4th.

      I agree. Understanding that the visuals might be highly regarded, I truly don’t know of anyone in my network who goes to see these sequels. It makes me wonder if the numbers for viewership are inflated.

        There are people overseas who have only ever been to the theatre to see Avatar because it’s like a theme park ride
