While announcing the release date change on Twitter, director Colin Trevorrow also debuted the first teaser poster for the film, with the familiar “Jurassic” franchise logo encased in amber, a callback to the 1993 blockbuster “Jurassic Park.”
“For the past three months, I’ve worked with an extraordinary cast and crew on a film we can’t wait to share with the world,” Trevorrow said. “Even though we’ll have to wait a bit longer, it will all be worth it. Let’s stay healthy and take care of each other until then.”
“Jurassic World: Dominion,” which shut down filming in March due to the pandemic, was one of the first major movies to resume production. The studio took intense measures to keep the set coronavirus-free, including frequent testing, temperature checks and isolating the cast and key crew at a resort hotel. The cost of these protocols are expected to run in the $5 million range, according to insiders. “Jurassic World: Dominion” hasn’t completed filming yet, though sources say its about three weeks from wrapping.
“Jurassic World: Dominion,” the sixth film in the 27-year-old franchise, again stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. They are joined by a star-studded group that includes Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum. Trevorrow is returning to direct after previously helming 2015’s “Jurassic World.” He also co-wrote the script for the 2018 sequel “Fallen Kingdom.”For the past three months, I’ve worked with an extraordinary cast and crew on a film we can’t wait to share with the world.

The “Jurassic” series is considered the crown jewel of franchise fare for Universal. Collectively, the five movies have generated more than $5 billion at the global box office. “Jurassic World,” which revived the “Jurassic Park” story decades later, was a massive commercial success, grossing $1.6 billion worldwide. The sequel “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” also joined the billion-dollar club, with ticket sales surpassing $1.3 billion.
Universal has been busy making changes to its release calendar in the wake of the pandemic, recently postponing “Fast & Furious” sequel “F9” from April 2, 2021 to May 28, 2021. Numerous movies have announced delays over the last few days, including “No Time to Die,” “The Batman” and “Matrix 4.”
