I agree. It did better than I thought it would do. It seems to be holding up well so far. Question inside...

I know the stock dropped pretty dramatically the past couple weeks to the point of it correcting somewhat now; still it dropped down from where it'd been holding. Still, it's a very sturdy performance by the film.

I'm actually considering sitting through it. Pretty sure I won't like it; however, ever since I read the original Crichton novel all those years ago; i finally want to see the scene where the T Rex is pursuing, goes into the river, and disappears below the surface. When reading the book, at that point I literally stopped reading in excitement of it and what a sequence it would make in a film. And then Steven doesn't put it in the movie!!!! My wife and I talked about it all summer; how the film was still vastly entertaining and a real thrill ride, but why didn't they put that scene in the movie? We figured it was a budget thing, that at the time it would be too expensive to make it look great on screen or something like that.

The trailers definitely make it look like that scene is in this movie. Right? Is it a good scene?

Dominion did that in 2 and 3 days. {nm} Antibody Jul 06, 08:15

But "Wow!" because few were expecting JURA7 to do that well due to burnout, lower ticket sales. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 06, 08:16

Definitely still a big achievement considering how big of a fumble (storywise) Dominion was. notfabio Jul 06, 09:01

It's a great scene in the movie... really harks back to the Spielberg films. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 06, 10:21

I think a few more people get eaten in this one too, which might help! :-) {nm} Flash Jul 06, 10:25

I thought it was a great scene too...didn't know it was in the original novel {nm} tealfan Jul 06, 11:18

It might be sort of fun to go pick up the original paperback now; 30 years on and give it a go. It's an entertaining thriller. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 06, 13:02
