While Jurassic World 4 might struggle to get the franchise back on track, the return of one franchise veteran is great news for the Jurassic Park reboot. It is hard to pinpoint when exactly the franchise fell apart, but 2001’s Jurassic Park III certainly represented a major critical and commercial step down from the first two movies. Jurassic Park earned over $1 billion at the box office, while The Lost World: Jurassic Park followed up with a respectable $618 million four years later. In contrast, the underwhelming Jurassic Park III earned only $365 million in 2001 (via The Numbers).
