‘Jurassic Park’ at 30

Last year, Steven Spielberg directed his most personal project to date: The Fabelmans, a coming-of-age drama pulled from his childhood experiences, including his parents’ divorce, and how they shaped him as a filmmaker. As an intimate peek behind the curtain of an all-time great director, The Fabelmans was, for me and many other Spielberg admirers, a can’t-miss cinematic event. But while The Fabelmans is widely regarded as one of the best movies of 2022, it bombed comprehensively at the box office, ultimately grossing less than $18 million domestically. It’s an undeserved fate for a film as good as The Fabelmans, but one could argue it’s also something Spielberg inadvertently brought upon himself.
