Jurassic World Rebirth received mixed reviews but the opening collections suggest that the craze around dinosaur films is far from over. The film is well on its way to becoming one of the biggest box-office successes of the year. In America and in most parts of the world, the movie rolled out on July 2, while in countries like India and France, it was released on July 4. Within two days, the movie managed to cross the $100 million mark in the domestic market. It's now expected to pull in around $137–138 million, including $82 million over Friday–Sunday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That beats the initial projections of $100–120 million, and the three-day total is close to the $145 million opening of Dominion in 2022.
By Thursday, Jurassic World Rebirth had already brought in $104.6 million worldwide, with $48.8 million from overseas markets. It's now headed for a global opening north of $260 million, possibly even higher. In China, the movie raked in around $15.5 million by Friday, leaving Brad Pitt's F1 behind. The movie topped box-office charts with a 50% market share. In South Korea, where Johansson and Bailey personally visited for promotion, it hit $2.8 million by Friday and stayed #1 for three days. Other strong openings include the UK/Ireland ($4.5 million), Mexico ($4.3 million), and Spain ($2.4 million). In countries like Germany, Brazil, Thailand, Taiwan, and more, it is currently trending at Number 1.

According to box office trend tracker Sacnilk, in India, the Gareth Edwards directorial crossed the 9 crore mark on the first day of its release. On its opening day, the film beat Bollywood films like Kajol's Maa and Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino, alongside Brad Pitt's F1, which was going strong in the country ever since its release. In India, Rebirth has become the highest-grossing Jurassic instalment yet, surpassing the 2022 release Dominion, which grossed Rs 8.15 crore net and Rs 11 crore including paid previews.
The movie, made on a budget of $180 million, also stars Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, Manuel Gracia-Rulfo and Ed Skrein in key roles. If compared to the last three Jurassic World movies, all of them opened higher in the US ($145 million–$208 million range), but those had the original trilogy factor. With Rebirth, the franchise is entering its new era. The movie goes back to the Jurassic roots. The story follows an extraction team on a dinosaur-infested island. The mission is to obtain the dinosaur's DNA, which can be a lifesaver for mankind. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt's F1 movie has now entered its second weekend and has already crossed $200 million worldwide ($77.4 million from the US and $125 million from overseas.) On Thursday, it added $6.1 million, bringing its U.S. total to $88.5 million.
