Synopsis

A wealthy entrepreneur secretly develops a theme park populated by living dinosaurs, genetically engineered from prehistoric DNA. Prior to the official opening, he brings in a group of experts and his two enthusiastic grandchildren to tour the facility and reassure concerned investors. Instead of a successful demonstration, the park descends into chaos when the security systems fail and the dinosaurs break free.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 238+ credited

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

1993 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 15× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
