It comes with no surprise that Universal Pictures has immediately announced a sequel to easily the biggest box office surprise in history. Clearly, 22 years later, people will still throw money at theaters to see dinosaurs on the big screen and in Hi-Def 3D. With Jurassic World currently at the number 3 spot for highest-grossing picture of all time, a sequel was a no-brainer. A huge credit to the success of the film was the inclusion of the red hot Chris Pratt and the red hot red head, Bryce Dallas Howard. The head honchos over at Universal recognized this and quickly secured both for the sequel with a release date of June 22, 2018. No director has been announced yet but Colin Treverrow and Derek Connolly will return to co-write the screenplay.
