Both Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom are now streaming free on Tubi. The Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard-led movies, which chronicle the disastrous fall of a theme park on Isla Nublar and the aftermath of it, helped relaunch the iconic dinosaur franchise that began with Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park in the ‘90s and delivered giant box office wins. Colin Trevorrow’s 2015 movie grossed $1.6 billion worldwide to become the third highest-grossing film of all time, while its 2018 sequel took home $1.3 billion worldwide. Unfortunately, after joining Tubi on February 1st, both movies are on the platform’s “leaving soon” list, meaning they likely have an end-of-the-month expiration date.
The Jurassic World Era Takes the Iconic Dinosaur Franchise to New, Grittier Heights
Spielberg’s 1993 classic launched what would become one of the most successful, groundbreaking, and enduring multimedia franchises in cinema history, and the Jurassic World era has managed to take that to all-new heights. Beginning with Jurassic World in 2015, which secured the franchise’s second-highest critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes with a 72%, the franchise has delivered back-to-back blockbusters and shifted from its original focus on survival-thriller tension to one with higher stakes and more CGI-driven dinosaur action and violence. With Jurassic World, the universe has expanded to cover grittier elements, from black-market dinosaur sales to genetic manipulation, giving way to the introduction of some of the most terrifying dinosaurs yet, like Jurassic World’s Indominus Rex and Fallen Kingdom’s Indoraptor.
