“Jurassic Park” (1993)

“Jurassic Park 3D,” the re-release of the 1993 science-fiction film from Steven Spielberg, debuted Tuesday in China at No. 1. The film, which brought in $6.3 million from 2,500 screens, marks the fourth-highest opening day of the year in China. “Iron Man 3” ($19.1 million), “Pacific Rim,” ($8.6 million) and “Fast and Furious 6,” ($8.3 million) are ahead of the dinosaur re-release, while “Man of Steel” ($6.2 million) and “The Hobbit” ($5.6 million) trail the 20-year old Universal Studios film. The film has grossed more than $45.4 million domestically since it was re-released in 3D in April, and more than $20.7 million internationally. “Jurassic Park 3D” will open this weekend in Panama, Mexico, Spain, Ireland and the United Kingdom. When the film originally premiered in 1993, it grossed $970 million worldwide, overtaking “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” as the highest-grossing film at that time. This is the first time the film is being shown in China, a country with proven success in 3D conversions. In 2012, “Titanic 3D” grossed $11.2 million opening weekend and took in a total of $150.2 million there.
