For people who were either not born yet or were too young, let me try to convey just how monumental of an impact Jurassic Park made in 1993.
It still remains the most successful and influential film in the franchise to this day. It’s currently the 12th highest grossing film of all time adjusted for inflation
It spawned tons of merchandise and video game adaptations. When it came out on VHS, it was played in school classrooms
The special effects in this movie set the bar for a decade

The recent passing of Sam Neill has prompted me to calculate the worldwide gross income for each “Jurassic” movie, adjusted for inflation. Here they are ranked from most highest to lowest:
Jurassic Park (1993) - $2.5b
Jurassic World (2015) - $2.3b
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) - $1.3b
The Lost World (1997) - $1.2b
Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) - $1b
Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) - $904m
Jurassic Park III (2001) - $698m
