PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 2, 2026--

This Sunday, Comcast’s Xfinity makes its Super Bowl debut by reimagining one of the most iconic films in movie history: Universal Pictures’ Jurassic Park. The first-ever national Super Bowl campaign from Xfinity rewinds the clock to 1993 and asks a simple question: What if Jurassic Park had been powered by Xfinity?

Set within the beloved world of Steven Spielberg’s original film, the campaign, titled “ Jurassic Park…Works ”, brings Xfinity’s connected ecosystem to life, showcasing what’s possible when reliable and secure WiFi, mobile and smart home connectivity all work together seamlessly. The spot is the latest creative expression of the “Xfinity Imagine That” brand platform, which celebrates how life is more extraordinary when your connectivity and entertainment technology work seamlessly together.

“This Sunday, while millions of people watch the Big Game on NBC and Peacock, we’ll be reimagining one of the most iconic moments in movie history,” said Jon Gieselman, Chief Growth Officer, Connectivity and Platforms, Comcast. “By asking what Jurassic Park could have been with Xfinity’s fast, secure WiFi, we’re creating a fun, cultural crossover only Comcast NBCUniversal could deliver, combining blockbuster storytelling with real-world technology that protects, connects, and powers millions of customers every day.”

“Bringing Jurassic Park back to life for this campaign has been an extraordinary collaboration across Comcast NBCUniversal,” said David O’Connor, Chief Brand Officer, Universal Entertainment. “For more than three decades, the franchise has captured the imagination of audiences around the world, and this partnership with Xfinity allows fans to experience that world in a completely fresh way. By combining the timeless characters and iconic moments of the original film with modern technology, we’re celebrating the legacy of Jurassic Park while introducing it to a new generation. It’s a testament to the enduring power of the franchise and the kind of creative, cross-company storytelling that only NBCUniversal can deliver.”

A Reconnected Jurassic Park
Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum reunite as their legendary characters - paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant, paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler, and chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm - return to Jurassic Park for the park’s grand opening, 33 years after audiences first experienced the wonder and awe of dinosaurs brought to life. This time, history takes a different turn.

Instead of a catastrophic system failure, the park stays connected and secure with Xfinity WiFi, the most reliable in our footprint, and the dinosaurs stay exactly where they belong. With the chaos avoided, the trio is free to experience Jurassic Park as it was always intended. Sattler streams music while running alongside dinosaurs; Malcolm relaxes poolside, watching a series over WiFi; and Grant livestreams his up-close T. rex encounter using Xfinity Mobile.

A Blockbuster Collaboration
The campaign features the classic score from five-time Academy Award®-winner John Williams, with visual effects by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), the studio whose groundbreaking work first introduced audiences to the dinosaurs. The film is directed by Academy Award®-winner Taika Waititi ( Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit ).

The spot was created in close collaboration with Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, Xfinity Creative and Goodby Silverstein & Partners, bringing the original Jurassic Park world back to life more than three decades after its debut. Creative teams worked closely with Universal to recreate costumes and set designs using original production materials, preserving the authenticity and spirit of the 1993 classic.

Xfinity customers can watch Jurassic Park with Xfinity – alongside the full spot, behind-the‑scenes footage, and additional Jurassic Park content – by simply saying “Jurassic Park” into the Xfinity Voice Remote.

Bringing Jurassic Park to San Francisco

Comcast and NBCUniversal Bring a Modern Twist to Jurassic Park Through “Xfinity Imagine That” Brand Platform

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of wintry weather Monday, a forecast sure to disappoint many after what's already been a long, cold season across large parts of the United States.

His annual prediction and announcement that he had seen his shadow was translated by his handlers in the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club at Gobbler’s Knob in western Pennsylvania.

The news was greeted with a mix of cheers and boos from the tens of thousands who braved temperatures in the single-digits Fahrenheit to await the annual prognostication. The extreme cold kept the crowd bundled up and helped keep people on the main stage dancing.

Usually guests can come up on stage and take pictures of Phil after his prediction, but this year the announcer said it was too cold for that and his handlers were afraid to keep him out too long. Instead, the audience was asked to come to the stage, turn around and “do a selfie.”

The club says that when Phil is deemed to have not seen his shadow, that means there will be an early spring. When he does see it, it’s six more weeks of winter. Phil tends to predict a longer winter far more often than an early spring.

The annual ritual goes back more than a century, with ties to ancient farming traditions in Europe. Punxsutawney's festivities have grown considerably since the 1993 movie “Groundhog Day,” starring Bill Murray.

Phil isn’t the only animal being consulted for long-term weather forecasts Monday. There are formal and informal Groundhog Day events in many places in the U.S., Canada and beyond.

Michael Venos, who tracks Groundhog Day predictions at countdowntogroundhogday.com, said the early results Monday indicated a split verdict.

Agreeing with Punxsutawney Phil that more winter weather is on the way this year have been General Beauregard Lee, a Georgia groundhog, and groundhog mascot Dover Doug in Pennsylvania. Also in the “more winter” camp were That Dog Named Gidget, a Havanese in New York, and opossum Birmingham Jill in Alabama.

Those predicting an early spring include groundhogs Buckeye Chuck in Ohio, Fig Newton in North Carolina and Shubenacadie Sam in Nova Scotia, along with Benny the Bass, a fish in Ohio, and Pennsylvania ferret Jessup Giuseppe.

That’s just the start — Venos expects to tally about 100 events.

Lisa Gibson was at her 10th Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, wearing a lighted hat that resembled the tree stump from which Phil emerged shortly after daybreak.

“Oh man, it just breaks up the doldrums of winter,” said Gibson, accompanied by her husband — dressed up as Elvis Presley — and teenage daughter. “It’s like Halloween and New Year’s Eve all wrapped up into one holiday.”

Gibson, a resident of Pittsburgh, had been rooting for Phil to not see his shadow.

Rick Siger, Pennsylvania’s secretary of community and economic development, said the outdoor thermometer in his vehicle read 4 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 15 degrees Celsius) on his way to Gobbler’s Knob.

“I think it’s just fun — folks having a good time,” said Siger, attending his fourth straight Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney. “It brings people together at a challenging time. It is a unifying force that showcases the best of Pennsylvania, the best of Punxsutawney, this area.”

Last year’s announcement was six more weeks of winter, by far Phil’s more common assessment and not much of a surprise during the first week of February. His top-hatted handlers in the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club insist Phil’s “groundhogese” of winks, purrs, chatters and nods are being interpreted when they relate the meteorological marmot’s muses about the days ahead.

AccuWeather’s chief long-range weather expert, meteorologist Paul Pastelok, said early Monday some clouds moved into Punxsutawney overnight, bringing flurries he called “microflakes.”

Pastelok said the coming week will remain cold, with below-average temperatures in the eastern United States.

Groundhog Day falls on Feb. 2, the midpoint between the shortest, darkest day of the year on the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It’s a time of year that also figures in the Celtic calendar and the Christian holiday of Candlemas.

Scolforo reported from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and McCormack from Concord, New Hampshire.
