History

Historical Context

In June 1993, Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park opened to $914 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film then and the first to exceed $500 million overseas. Its record-breaking debut showed a franchise could dominate global ticket sales, leading studios such as Sony to pursue multi-film contracts—a trend reflected in the 2024 Spider-Man: Brand New Day opening.
