Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom blew up the box office just two months ago—and yet Universal is already inviting moviegoers back into its prehistoric pandemonium.

This September, in honor of its 25th anniversary, Steven Spielberg's original Jurassic Park will retake big screens across the country. With over 500 participating theaters, ticket availability should be high. Jurassic fanatics will have a much better shot at getting seats here than at one of August's super in demand Dark Knight IMAX showings.

In addition to watching the original on the big screen, audience members will be treated to a 17-minute fan remake of classic Jurassic Park scenes, like this iconic Jeff Goldbum clip.

Various showings will be scheduled for September 16th, 18th, and 19th. You can grab your tickets in advance through Fathom Events or directly from your theater's box office. (No word yet on whether the teetering-on-extinction MoviePass will support the event.)

These screenings will be a pleasant blast from the past—in more ways than one. Plus, it'll help to at least slightly close the gap between now and Jurassic World 3's release date. 2021 feels so, so far away.
