over $150 million at the international box office.
The budget of Jurassic World 2 was originally reported to be $260 million, over $100 million more than Jurassic World. However, this was refuted by the producers and Box Office Mojo now reports that the film's budget is $170 million, only $20 million more than the original.

While $170 million is significantly lower than initial reports, it still makes Jurassic World 2 the most expensive Jurassic film to date. All Jurassic film budgets are given below, including both the production cost at the time and the cost adjusted for inflation:
- Jurassic Park (1993): $63 million (adjusted: $109.76 million)
- Jurassic Park 2 (1997): The Lost World: $73 million (adjusted: $114.72 million)
- Jurassic Park 3 (2001): $93 million (adjusted: $132.82 million)
- Jurassic World (2015): $150 million (adjusted: $158.69 million)
- Jurassic World 2: Fallen Kingdom (2018): $170 million
Like many other film franchises, the film's budgets become incrementally bigger, both because of inflation and a desire to expand on previous films. Jurassic World 2's increase in budget is part of a larger trend that began with The Lost World.
Earlier this year, mixed reviews. Already, the film is being celebrated as a commercial success.
But would Get Out (estimated budget $4.5 million), but if film producers compare the performances of Jurassic World 2 and Solo, they may take away an important lesson for future films: even blockbusters can benefit from a tighter budget.
The original Jurassic World brought in a $208 million in its opening weekend and grossed a total of $1.67 billion dollars worldwide. Jurassic World 2 may not match those numbers, but it's at least off to a strong start.
