Universal has revealed it spent a staggering $844.7 million (£680.2 million) on the two latest movies in its Jurassic World trilogy which is more than twice their estimated budget.
The lion's share of the money was spent on 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom which stars A Listers Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt as activists who are sent to an island in the Pacific to rescue hordes of dinosaurs from an imminent volcano eruption. The movie had a budget of $516.1 million (£415.6 million), easily making it one of the most expensive films in history. In fact, it is just behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens which had the biggest budget of all time with costs of $533.2 million as we recently revealed.
Fallen Kingdom cost nearly three times the movie's estimated $170 million production budget and although its sequel was closer to the forecasts it was still a (Jurassic) world away.
