Funny how Michael Crichton waited five years before penning The Lost World, the sequel to Jurassic Park. Could that $900 million-plus-grossing 1993 movie of the latter have been what finally got his creative juices flowing? Lost, in its 2-million-copy first printing, debuts at No. 1. Meanwhile, in the jungles of Hollywood, Steven Spielberg is still contemplating whether he'll direct the film version, which Universal Pictures hopes to release in the summer of '97.
