The final movie in the Jurassic World Trilogy, “Jurassic World: Dominion,” is coming out in June 2022. Will it be the box office smash of the six movies that came before?  “Jurassic World” is a 2015 movie about a luxury resort located off the coast of Costa Rica that provides a habitat for genetically engineered dinosaurs, but one of the dinosaurs escapes and this causes a chain reaction of destruction. The story continued in “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” when humans try to save dinosaurs from a volcano. This third installment of the “Jurassic World” franchise shows a world trying to live with dinosaurs. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard return to star alongside several actors from the original “Jurassic Park” from 1993. By Brianah Harris
