‘Jurassic Park,’ ‘Jaws’ take bite out of box office

Just as they did 45 and 27 years ago, a couple of Steven Spielberg-directed movies currently reign supreme at the box office.

"Jurassic Park" and "Jaws" were the top box office draws last weekend, thanks to the resurgence of the drive-in theater amid the coronavirus pandemic.

For the June 19-21 weekend, Spielberg's 1993 film "Jurassic Park" was No. 1 at the box office with an estimated $517,642 from 230 locations in its 1,411th weekend.

"Jaws," widely considered the grandfather of the summer blockbusters, earned an estimated $516,366 from 187 locations in its 2,349th weekend. The movie that made everyone afraid to go into the water was first released in 1975.
