Jurrasic Park producer Kathleen Kennedy was asked by ComingSoon.net about the status of a fourth film in the successful Jurassic Park franchise and she revealed that plans for the long-in-development sequel have fallen through:
“No… I don’t know. You know, when Crichton passed away, I sorta felt maybe that’s it. Maybe that’s a sign that we don’t mess with it.”
The three films–releaesed in 1993, 1997 and 2001, respectively–grossed a combined $1.9 billion in worldwide box office ($767,326,501 domestically and $1,134,784,425 overseas). The majority of that, however, came from the first film ($914.7 million). The second grossed $618.6 million and the third $368.8 million.

I loled at the thought of a fourth Jurrasic Park. The first one got a lot of hype because it was the first film to use THX, so it was a big deal because of the technology. After that, the franchise has been in a downward spiral. I’m sure the execs took a quick glance at the shrinking revenue numbers and ran!
