Jurassic World: Rebirth dominates global box office
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.
Internationally, it added about $171 million from 82 markets. The total places Rebirth among the biggest franchise debuts of the year and one of the top 40 global openings in box office history.
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.

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.

Scarlett Johansson sets record with $320M opening, tops all-time box office
Scarlett Johansson has officially become the highest-grossing actor of all time at the global box office, setting a new industry benchmark. This milestone comes on the heels of her recent blockbuster, Jurassic World Rebirth, which debuted with an impressive $320 million worldwide. The new box office figure pushes Johansson past former record holders Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., both of whom dominated the global charts thanks to their work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Johansson, known for her role as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, also benefited from her decade-long run in Marvel films, but it was Jurassic World Rebirth that solidified her place at the top. Industry analysts attribute Johansson's success to her wide-ranging roles across action, drama, and science fiction, coupled with strategic franchise involvement. Her appeal spans demographics and continents, making her a consistent box office draw. This accomplishment marks a historic moment not just for Johansson but for female-led box office performance in general. With streaming platforms and theatrical releases both contributing to these totals, Johansson's reach in both formats further enhances her dominance. As of now, Scarlett Johansson leads with an unmatched cumulative box office total, reaffirming her status as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars.
