Sharks: Latest News

Steven Spielberg’s 1993 movie “Jurassic Park” was No. 1 for the fourth time in its release history this past weekend as movie theaters tried to have a semblance during the COVID-19 pandemic over what is typically a big moviegoing weekend, Father’s Day.While 2020 fare like Universal/Dreamworks Animation’s “Trolls World Tour” had been leading at a still distressed box office for 9 weekends (with the exception of last weekend when “The Invisible Man” returned to the top of the chart), catalog titles dominated the majority of this weekend with Universal’s “Jurassic Park” earning $517,6K at 230 sites and the studio’s “Jaws” taking $516,3K at 187 locations.

Netflix documentary crew filming Our Planet II in the Northern Hawaiian Islands says in recent interviews that it was attacked twice by tiger sharks, causing an inflatable boat to “explode.”Series producer Huw Cordey told Forbes that the crew was documenting the first flight of baby albatross chicks, as the David Attenborough-narrated series revolves around animal migration patterns.“It took six days to sail there from Hawaii, and I believe we are the first natural history series to film the maiden flight of a Laysan albatross. They’re the longest-lived birds of all, and they take this enormous journey around the planet for years before they breed for the first time,” Cordey explained.All the while, tiger sharks, which can grow up to five metres long, make a 3,000-kilometre migration of their own to prey on feeble fledglings.“The original idea was to do an underwater shoot with the tiger sharks waiting in the shallows at Laysan, but the first day the tiger sharks were around, the crew got into these inflatable boats — and two sharks attacked them.
