Every movie is a blockbuster until the real blockbuster walks into theaters. Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park defined an entire era of entertainment and redefined the idea of a sci-fi blockbuster. Three decades later, the film still stays relevant, and now Jurassic Park is getting a special RealD 3D re-release for its 30th anniversary. Here’s how you can watch it.
Jurassic Park’s 30th anniversary 3D re-release
The first Jurassic Park movie came out 30 years ago, on June 9, 1993. To celebrate this special anniversary, Universal Pictures is bringing their iconic film back to the big screen. And the format makes it even more exciting to watch in RealD 3D.
3D movies have not enjoyed the same level of love as they did a decade ago. However, rewatching a classic of Jurassic Park’s proportions is bound to entice audience members of all ages. Let’s face it: Dinosaurs will never become extinct from popular culture.
Jurassic Park’s 30th Anniversary 3D re-release premiered across RealD 3D-equipped theaters in North America on August 25, 2023. Based on the film’s reception, the theatrical run will extend accordingly to other regions worldwide.

Upon its original release, Jurassic Park almost grossed a billion dollars at the global box office. It remained the highest-grossing film of all time until Titanic toppled it. It went on to inspire a franchise that has earned over $6 billion worldwide. It also won three Oscars.
In fact, the 3D re-release in 2013 helped Jurassic Park reach the billion-dollar mark. On the other hand, the new re-release has already earned $1.7 million. Thanks to its impeccable world-building and storytelling, Jurassic Park will continue to gain more fans over the years.
