Jurassic World Rebirth Leaves Behind F1, MI 8 With $30.5 Million Opening
Jurassic World Rebirth has become the sixth biggest opener of 2025 so far.
Hollywood's beloved dinosaur franchise is back with another thrilling adventure. Titled Jurassic World Rebirth, the new film is led by none other than Scarlett Johansson, who once shared that she always dreamed of being in the Jurassic Park films. The film, which was released in the US on July 2, has made a thunderous entry at the box office.
Jurassic World Rebirth has raked in an impressive $30.5 million on its opening day at the domestic box office, according to Box Office Mojo by IMDb Pro. It has become the sixth biggest opener of 2025 so far, surpassing previous big releases like F1, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and Sinners.
However, the latest instalment of the Jurassic Park series trails behind some of the biggest releases this year, such as A Minecraft Movie, which opened at $57.1 million, followed by Lilo and Stitch, which grossed $55.9 million on its first day. Other movies that generated more revenue at the US box office on opening day are Captain America: Brave New World ($40.9 million), How to Train Your Dragon ($35.4 million), and Thunderbolts ($31.8 million).
The film, directed by Gareth Edwards, was released on the occasion of the US Independence Day. Notably, Jurassic World Rebirth managed to outperform last year's holiday release, Despicable Me, which opened with $27.2 million. It managed to do so without the benefit of Tuesday previews. If all goes well, Jurassic World Rebirth is expected to earn between $125 million and $140 million in the opening five-day weekend. The first three-day collection of the film is expected to be around $75 million to $85 million.
While Jurassic World Rebirth undeniably had a strong start, it turned out to be the fourth-best opener among the franchise's own lineup. The original Jurassic World, released in 2015, remains at the top of the list with a whopping $82 million opening. Next in line is Jurassic World Dominion (2022), which earned $59.6 million, followed by Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), which had an opening day collection of $58 million.
Speaking of Jurassic World Rebirth, the film stars Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein, in addition to Scarlett. It follows a team of experts who embark on a covert mission to retrieve dinosaur DNA from a mysterious island deep in the ocean. It is set to release in India on Friday, July 4.

'Jurassic World Rebirth' takes a bite out of Fourth of July weekend with $318 million global haul
Dinosaur fatigue may be a theme in "Jurassic World Rebirth," but moviegoing audiences don't seem to have that reservation. The newest installment in the "Jurassic World" franchise ruled the Fourth of July holiday box office with a global, five-day launch of $318.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Universal Pictures release, directed by Gareth Edwards, opened on Wednesday and earned $147.3 million in its first five days in 4,308 North American theatres. An estimated $91.5 million of that comes from the traditional "three day" weekend, which includes the Friday holiday, Saturday and projected Sunday ticket sales. Internationally, it opened in 82 markets including China, adding $171 million to the opening total. According to the studio, $41.5 million of that came from China alone, where it played on 65,000 screens, 760 of which were IMAX. It's the country's biggest MPA (Motion Picture Association) opening of the year. "Jurassic World" was missing from IMAX screens domestically (due to a commitment to continue showing "F1"), but it thrived on the premium large format screens where it played. One of those options was Dolby Cinema, where it made nearly $8 million from only 167 screens in five days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ดัชนีทั่วโลกกำลังคึกคัก ถึงเวลาเทรดแล้ว! IC Markets อ่านเพิ่มเติม Undo "Rebirth," starring Scarlett Johansson , Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey , is the fourth movie in the "Jurassic World" series and the seventh since Steven Spielberg 's original Michael Crichton adaptation stormed theatres in the summer of 1993. The new film received mixed reviews from critics, carrying a 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, and B CinemaScore from opening weekend audiences. The studio was struck by the broad audience turnout, from ages eight to 80, and the fact that the film exceeded estimates at every step despite the reviews. Factors like the holiday weekend, inflation and post-COVID moviegoing realities make it difficult to fairly compare the "Rebirth" launch to the other films in the "Jurassic World" franchise, the first of which opened to $208 million domestically in 2015. The other two, "Fallen Kingdom" and "Dominion" opened to $148 million and $145 million respectively. "Jurassic World Rebirth" introduced a new main cast to the series and brought back a familiar voice in "Jurassic Park" screenwriter David Koepp to guide the story about a dangerous hunt for dinosaur DNA (not for making dinosaurs this time, but for curing heart disease). It cost a reported $180 million net to produce, not including marketing and promotion costs. The campaign was far reaching, including a global press tour, with stops everywhere from London to Seoul, integrated marketing across NBC Universal platforms and brand tie-ins with everything from Jeep and 7-11 to Johansson's skincare line. No major new films dared go up against the dinosaurs, who left last week's champion, the Brad Pitt racing movie "F1," in the dust. "F1" fell a modest 54% in its second weekend with $26.1 million, helping bring its domestic total to $109.5 million. It continues to play on IMAX screens with accounted for $7.6 million of the North American weekend ticket sales. Globally, it's nearing $300 million with a running total of $293.6 million. Third place went to Universal's live-action "How to Train Your Dragon," which earned $11 million in its fourth weekend, bringing its domestic total to $224 million. Disney and Pixar's "Elio" landed in fourth place with $5.7 million. Globally, "Elio" has just crossed $96 million in three weekends. "28 Years Later" rounded out the top five with $4.6 million. A 41-year-old movie also made the domestic top 10: The re-release of Rob Reiner's 1984 film "This is Spinal Tap." Having the Fourth of July land on a Friday could have negatively impacted the overall box office, but the holiday didn't blow up the weekend's earnings. And there's still some major movies to come in the packed summer movie calendar, including "Superman," which opens later this week. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Comscore: 1. "Jurassic World Rebirth," $91.5 million. 2. "F1 The Movie," $26.1 million. 3. "How to Train Your Dragon," $11 million. 4. "Elio," $5.7 million. 5. "28 Years Later," $4.6 million. 6. "Lilo & Stitch," $3.8 million. 7. "M3GAN 2.0," $3.8 million. 8. "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," $2.7 million. 9. "Materialists," $1.3 million. 10.
