Jurassic World Rebirth has launched the summer movie season into full speed, following up on other movie hits such as F1.
It's the 5th best showing for the July 4th holiday, and the 4th biggest gross opening of 2025 this year.
Although receiving mixed reviews, the movie seems to pull off enough nostalgia to bring in loyal Jurassic Park loyalists.
Via Hollywood Reporter:
Jurassic World Rebirth, the seventh title in the series, is roaring even louder overseas, where its estimated opening is $171.3 million.
That puts the film’s global start at $312.5 million — the second-best of the franchise, as well as the second-best opening of the year to date, behind A Minecraft Movie.
Heading into the holiday, the pic was eyeing a domestic opening in the $100 to $120 million range and $260 million globally. It opened on Wednesday, July 2, to get a jump on the long holiday weekend.
Following the conclusion of the Jurassic World trilogy directed by Colin Trevorrow, Spielberg, Amblin and Universal went back to the drawing board and enlisted filmmaker Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) to direct Rebirth from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
The film features an all new cast anchored by Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey. The story follows an extraction team that races to an island research facility that factored into the original Jurassic Park (along the way, they discover a shipwrecked family). Now, the island is inhabited by the worst of the worst creatures that were left behind.
