Watch Jurassic Park 3 Online

Jurassic Park III is the 2001 sequel to the 1997 film, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and is the first in the series that is neither based on a book by Michael Crichton nor directed by Steven Spielberg. As its name suggests, Jurassic Park III is the third film in the Jurassic Park film series. It takes place on Isla Sorna, the island from the second film, after a married couple hires Dr. Alan Grant to help them find their son.

After the success of the first Jurassic Park, Joe Johnston asked Steven Spielberg if he could direct the film adaptation of The Lost World, the sequel to Jurassic Park. While Spielberg wanted to do the project, he promised to give the helm of the second sequel to Johnston. Spielberg stayed involved with the film by becoming the executive producer. Three years after the release of The Lost World, production of a third film began in August 2000.

The film earned $181,171,875 in the United States and $368,780,809 worldwide and was the eighth highest grossing film of the year worldwide, but still earned less than either of its predecessors. As with the other films in the franchise, there was a large marketing push, including seven video games and a novelization aimed at young children.

The film made its VHS and DVD debut on December 11, 2001. The DVD has also been re-released with both sequels on December 11, 2001[12] as the Jurassic Park Trilogy, and as the Jurassic Park Adventure Pack on November 29, 2005. The film has also been released alongside Hulk. The soundtrack was released on July 10, 2001.

Scott Ciencin wrote three children's books to tie-in with the film; the first detailed the eight weeks Eric spent alone on Isla Sorna; the second had Eric and Alan returning to Isla Sorna to rescue a group of teenage filmmakers; and the last involved Eric and Alan leading the Pteranodons home after they nest in a Universal theme park.

Jurassic Park III received mixed reviews from critics. Critics were split over whether the third installment of the series was better or worse than the second.
