Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a 2018 American science fiction action film directed by J. A. Bayona and written by Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow.[9] The sequel to Jurassic World (2015), it is the second installment in the Jurassic World film series and fifth overall of the Jurassic Park franchise. Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong, and Jeff Goldblum reprise their roles from previous films in the series, with Toby Jones, Ted Levine, and Rafe Spall joining the cast. The story follows Owen Grady and Claire Dearing as they return to the fictional Central American island of Isla Nublar to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from an impending volcanic eruption, only to discover a mercenary team's ulterior motives to bring them to the US mainland.
Filming took place from February to July 2017 in the United Kingdom and in Hawaii. With a production budget of up to $465 million, Fallen Kingdom is the second-most expensive film ever made. Fallen Kingdom premiered at the WiZink Center in Madrid on May 21, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 22, by Universal Pictures. The film grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide, making it the third Jurassic film to pass the billion-dollar mark, and was the third-highest-grossing film of 2018 and the 12th-highest-grossing film of all time. It received mixed reviews from critics, who generally praised the visuals, cinematography, music and darker tone, while others criticized the screenplay.[10] A sequel, titled Jurassic World Dominion, was released on June 10, 2022.
