         UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (Reuter) - ``Jurassic Park,'' Steven
Spielberg's blockbuster dinosaur thriller, is poised to storm
into the home video market this fall, MCA/Universal Home Video
said Wednesday.
         The MCA Inc. unit said it is preparing a marketing blitz
designed to reach 98 percent of the adult population in the
United States a total of 25.2 times.
         The video is to be released on Oct. 4.
         ``Jurassic Park,'' released by MCA's Universal Pictures film
studio, has grossed close to $900 million at box offices
worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film ever.
         The videocassette will be priced at $24.95.
         MCA/Universal Home Video said it has established ``Jurassic
Park'' sign-up centres to pre-sell and promote the video.
Customers who reserve copies will receive a ``Jurassic Park''
print of the dinosaur illustrations from the film.
         The company also will offer rebates with the purchase of
related promotional products, a national sweepstakes and a
tie-in with McDonald's, offering the sale of other videos from
Universal.
