BLOCKBUSTERS like Jurassic World (2015), a sequel to the 1993 hit, are sought after despite their large budgets because they can bring in twice their cost in box-office receipts, disc and video-on-demand sales, streaming, merchandising, and—studios hope—sequels that generate more of the same. Jurassic World grossed over a billion dollars worldwide within weeks of its release, revitalizing a long-dormant franchise for Universal.
