The first official trailer for The End of Oak Street (2026), a new dinosaur movie, has arrived.
Directed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) and produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, the upcoming film stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as the parents of a suburban family suddenly transported, along with their entire neighborhood, to a prehistoric world.

A New Jurassic Era Begins…
The studio’s official synopsis describes the film as follows: “After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.”
While we’re all curious to see what happens next and what dinosaurs the film has in store, the real question on everyone’s mind is, how will the film compare to Jurassic Park (1993)?
How Will It Compare to Jurassic Park?
While it’s impossible to ignore the shadow of Jurassic Park, especially the 1993 original, this new film is clearly attempting to carve out its own place in dinosaur cinema.
Jurassic Park (1993) stunned audiences and critics alike, pioneering both practical and digital effects, creating a multi-billion-dollar franchise, and fundamentally changing the way studios approached blockbusters.
Even less well-received entries like last year’s Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) have still pulled in hundreds of millions at the global box office, and the series continues to dominate video games, animated shows, and theme park attractions worldwide.
The End of Oak Street is taking a different approach. Rather than a dinosaur safari park, it places a suburban family at the center of a time-displaced survival story, relying on cosmic mishap rather than genetic engineering.
The comparisons are inevitable, though: studios, audiences, critics, and Jurassic fans will be watching closely to see if this new twist on modern dinosaur movies can generate the same excitement and revenue that Jurassic Park has maintained for more than three decades.
The End of Oak Street is scheduled for release on August 14, 2026.
