NEW DELHI: Steven Spielberg's 1993 dinosaur spectacular Jurassic Park had a huge opening when it was released in its first 3-D version in China this week.

The film made $6.64 million on its first day in cinemas.

Though the film has been broadcast on television and is widely available on home video formats, this is the first time Jurassic Park has been given a wide theatrical release in China.

The opening is significantly stronger than that of doomsday thriller 2012 (2009) which made $14.7 million in its first six days. The 3-D re-release of Titanic (1997) broke opening records in April 2012, grossing $76.3 million in its first six days.

With 12 per cent of screening slots, Pacific Rim dropped 35 per cent early this week, taking $1.08 million. With 18 per cent of screenings, Dante Lam's Unbeatable grossed $1.14 million for a total of $11.9 million after five days.
