Box Office

I hate to be a downer but I think Numbers has the box office messed up. Jurassic Park (1993) - Financial Information (the-numbers.com) 71.81.37.38 (talk) 19:28, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Budget

The budget is listed as $63 million and sourced by Box Office Mojo, without any further details on its claim. In a Variety article from November 30, 1992, Spielberg claims the movie was labeled at $70 million, but actually budgeted at $56 million and even brought down to a little less than that. This is eight months before release of course. The NYTimes in 1993 claims the same budget number as Spielberg. Entertainment Weekly in 1993 alternatively claims "$60 million-plus".

I would argue a $56 million budget is a more likely to be the case than $63. Are there other sources to support/counter this? HalfBlueCheese (talk) 06:16, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

King Kong

In the article it mentions that Godzilla was one of the inspirations for Jurassic Park (second paragraph under "Development") using a quote about how Spielberg was a fan of the original film. How come there is no mention of King Kong as an inspiration for why he wanted to make the film? It seems like the 1933 film was even more of an inspiration. In the 1995 documentary "The Making of Jurassic Park" he says this.

My one precedent for Jurassic Park was King Kong. King Kong was the high water mark for special effects creating a world I never knew existed...As a young person, that scene [where Kong fights a T-Rex] had no peer. And I think that was my high-water mark for imagining what it would be like to do a King Kong of today. Certainly I don’t consider Jurassic Park a classic the way King Kong is a classic, but I was so inspired by King Kong that that was one of the reasons I think I wanted to make Jurassic Park.Wikieditor9117 (talk) 20:58, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
