It is interesting to note that the top movie this weekend was "Jurassic Park 3", which took in $50.7 million at the box office in its opening weekend. This movie did NOT have Latter-day Saint filmmakers in key positions or Latter-day Saint stars, but the the first two movies "Jurassic Park" and "Lost World: Jurassic Park" were both produced by Latter-day Saint movie producer Jerry Molen.
