The film brought in $91.5 million in the U.S. and Canada over three days, with a five-day domestic total of $147.3 million.

Directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, the film marks a fresh installment in Universal's long-running dinosaur saga.
It is currently the studio's strongest global launch of 2025 and the second-biggest opening of the year, behind A Minecraft Movie.
Although reviews have been mixed, holding a 51% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a B CinemaScore, audiences have responded strongly to the film's visuals, action, and franchise nostalgia.
Rebirth outperformed major contenders including F1: The Movie, 28 Years Later, How to Train Your Dragon, and Elio, further establishing itself as the summer's dominant box office force.
With momentum behind it and strong international appeal, Jurassic World: Rebirth is expected to maintain its lead in the coming weeks.

Tracy Ifeachor exits HBO Max's ‘The Pitt', will not return as Dr. Collins for upcoming second season
Tracy Ifeachor will not return for the second season of HBO Max's medical drama The Pitt. The actress portrayed Dr. Heather Collins, a fourth-year resident at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital, during the show's debut season. The news follows Ifeachor's recent Instagram post, where she reflected on the experience: 'What a blessing it was to be a participant on the first season… an absolute privilege to play Dr. Heather Collins in such a groundbreaking season and piece.' While she praised the role, she made no mention of future involvement, sparking speculation. Dr. Collins' storyline in season one included a deeply personal arc involving a miscarriage. Her past relationship with lead character Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch, played by Noah Wyle, added emotional depth to the high-pressure hospital setting. The Pitt, created by R. Scott Gemmill, centres on Robby's intense 15-hour shift as the chief attendant in the ER. The series is known for its real-time structure, emotional storytelling, and realistic depiction of the challenges facing modern healthcare professionals. Season one's cast included Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell and Shabana Azeez. Since premiering, the series has consistently ranked in the top three most-watched titles on HBO Max, with a 95% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Produced by John Wells Productions and Warner Bros. Television, The Pitt continues into season two with new directions and cast dynamics.

HBO Max cancels ‘Duster' after one season despite praise for J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan series
HBO Max has cancelled Duster after just one season, less than a week after the season finale aired. The 1970s crime drama was created by J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan, reuniting Abrams with Lost star Josh Holloway, who led the series alongside Rachel Hilson. The show followed Nina, the first Black female FBI agent, played by Hilson, who heads to the Southwest in 1972 and recruits Holloway's character, a gutsy getaway driver, to help take down a rising crime syndicate. Despite positive reception, Duster did not generate enough viewership to secure renewal, although it maintained a strong critical score of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 83% audience rating. In a statement, HBO Max said, 'While HBO Max will not be moving forward with a second season of Duster, we are so grateful to have had the chance to work with the amazingly talented co-creators J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan, and our partners at Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television.' Warner Bros. Television added, 'J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan delivered a thrilling, multi-dimensional crime drama in Duster, with textured characters that took the audience back to the 1970s in a new and innovative way.' The cancellation sparked disappointment among viewers, with many taking to social media to express frustration that the series ended so soon despite its strong reviews. Some fans called it a 'massive blow' and criticised the lack of promotion, while others praised the show's 1970s setting and characters, wishing it had been given more time to build an audience.

Dinos rule North American box office
Jurassic World: Rebirth - the latest installment in the blockbuster dinosaur saga - stomped the July 4th weekend competition at the North American box office, raking in a whopping $91.5 million in its debut, industry estimates showed Sunday, reported AFP. The Universal film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, takes viewers to an abandoned island research facility for the original Jurassic Park theme park, where secrets - and genetically mutated dinosaurs - are lurking. "This is an excellent opening for the 7th episode of an action-adventure monster series," said analyst David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. "The series has been especially good overseas and so far foreign business is outstanding. Dinosaur action is understood in all languages and across all cultures." F1: The Movie, the Apple and Warner Bros. flick starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, slipped to second place at $26.1 million, Exhibitor Relations said. How to Train Your Dragon, Universal and DreamWorks Animation's live-action reboot of the popular 2010 film, held in third place at $11 million. The family-friendly film tells the story of a Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) who strikes up a friendship with Toothless the dragon. In fourth place was Disney/Pixar Animation's latest original film Elio, at $5.7 million in the United States and Canada. Elio tells the story of a young boy who is mistaken by aliens as an intergalactic ambassador for Earth. The voice cast includes Oscar winner Zoe Saldana. In fifth place was Columbia Pictures' zombie sequel 28 Years Later, which took in $4.6 million. The Danny Boyle-directed threequel picks up - as the title suggests - more than a generation after the initial outbreak of the Rage Virus.
