The decision to follow-up Jurassic World was understandably a no brainer after the first film in the rebooted franchise made a phenomenal $1.524billion (£970million) at the global box office.

Less than two months after its release, Jurassic World has already become the third highest grossing movie of all time behind Titanic ($2.186billion) and Avatar ($2.787billion).

Released 22 years ago, the first pioneering movie Jurassic Park was also a gargantuan success at cinemas across the world making $1.029billion.

Its two sequels – 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park and 2001’s Jurassic Park III – fared less well making $618million and $368million respectively leading to a 14 year gap in the franchise.
