Thirty years ago, filmmaker Steven Spielberg delivered “an adventure 65 million years in the making.” Thanks to dramatic storytelling and stunning CGI (computer-generated imagery) advancements that seemingly brought dinosaurs to life, Jurassic Park became a monster hit. 

An original “Jurassic Park” (Universal, 1993) movie poster, one sheet (26.75″ x 39.75″) sold for $134 recently. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the movie starred Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Samuel L. Jackson and Wayne Knight.

Released June 11, 1993, Jurassic Park grossed more than $914 million worldwide in its original theatrical run, becoming the highest-grossing film ever at the time, surpassing Spielberg’s own, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name, Jurassic Park spawned five sequels and a resurgence in all things dinosaur. 

A limited-edition alternative movie poster of Jurassic Park sold for $228.
