Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park blew audiences minds with its special effects that still hold up pretty well to this day. The film starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum spawned two sequels, with a fourth—from director Colin Trevorrow—on the way.
Universal PicturesJurassic Park 3D had a strong opening day in China, debuting at No. 1 and raking in $6.3 million on 2,500 screens.
This marks the fourth-biggest opening day for a U.S. film in China in 2013. Iron Man 3 ($19.1 million), Pacific Rim ($8.6 million) and Fast & Furious 6 ($8.3 million) currently hold the top three spots. Man of Steel opened just below Jurassic Park 3D with $6.2 million in China.
