"Jurassic World: Dominion" is the third and final film in the Jurassic World franchise. It will be released in U.S. theaters on June 10.
The original "Jurassic Park," released in 1993, was centered around an unopened theme park that featured cloned dinosaurs. The film's success led to two direct sequels in addition to the three "Jurassic World" movies.
