'Jurassic World Rebirth' chomps on big $147-million Fourth of July box office weekend
Dinosaurs ruled the box office once again this weekend as "Jurassic World Rebirth" hauled in a strong $147.3 domestically over the five-day Fourth of July period to kick off what industry insiders hope will be an impressive month at movie theaters. The holiday total for "Jurassic World" in the U.S. and Canada exceeded industry expectations. Universal Pictures' "Jurassic World" reboot was expected to gross $120 million to $130 million during its long opening weekend, according to analyst and studio projections. The movie unseated Apple's Brad Pitt racing film "F1 The Movie," which landed in second place with $26.1 million domestically, bringing its total to $109.5 million in North America, according to distributor Warner Bros. "Rebirth's" 2022 predecessor, "Jurassic World: Dominion," debuted with $145 million from its first three days of release and went on to collect $1 billion globally. The new movie carries an estimated production budget of $180 million, not counting marketing costs. Big-budget creature features have global appeal, as the numbers showed. Opening in 82 countries outside the U.S. and Canada, "Rebirth" grossed $171 million internationally. That included $41.5 million from China, proving that Hollywood movies can still do well in the Middle Kingdom despite the dominance of local production in the populous country. The global total for "Rebirth's" opening was $318.3 million. Directed by Gareth Edwards ("The Creator," "Rogue One") and starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, "Rebirth" earned unenthusiastic reviews from critics, notching a 52% approval rating on aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The "Jurassic" franchise has seen multiple iterations since Steven Spielberg's landmark 1993 blockbuster "Jurassic Park," based on the popular Michael Crichton science fiction novel, wowed audiences with its combination of practical and computer-generated effects that gave the T. Rex and other killer dinos their stunning realism. That film spawned not only sequels but toys, theme park attractions, animated series and video games. Although the sequels, starting with Spielberg's own "The Lost World," never achieved the acclaim of the original, they continued to mint money for Universal and Spielberg's production company, Amblin. Prior to "Rebirth," the "Jurassic" movies had grossed a total of roughly $6 billion worldwide, not adjusting for inflation, according to box office website The Numbers. The first "Jurassic Park" grossed $978 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo, which is equal to $1.86 billion in today's dollars. Read more: Pixar had its worst opening weekend ever with 'Elio.' What happened? The latest "Jurassic" movie did not get a slot at Imax theaters, since those were taken up by "F1." Next week, the valuable Imax real estate will be taken up by Warner Bros. and DC Studios' "Superman." Films shown on Imax often reap bigger box office numbers, aided in part by the higher ticket prices at those theaters, and because they're viewed as more of a must-see "event." "Jurassic World" is the first of three big tentpole films arriving this month in theaters. In addition to "Superman," Walt Disney Co. and Marvel Studios' "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" opens in a few weeks. July has historically been one of the strongest summer months at the box office, putting more pressure on these three films to deliver. Despite big box office gains in April and May, June saw a string of underperforming films such as Lionsgate's "John Wick" spinoff "Ballerina," Sony Pictures' "Karate Kid: Legends" and Disney and Pixar's original animated effort "Elio." Theatrical business in June was 25% lower compared to the pre-pandemic average of June 2017, 2018 and 2019, according to David A. Gross's FranchiseRe movie industry newsletter. It was also down 5.3% compared to last June, which saw big hits like Disney and Pixar's "Inside Out 2" and Sony's "Bad Boys: Ride or Die." "We see this ebb and flow," said Shawn Robbins, founder of the website Box Office Theory. "These next four to five weeks will certainly give us a sense of how to grade the summer overall.'

Jurassic World: Rebirth Review: I Was Really Hoping They'd Have Thrills On This Dinosaur Tour
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I don't think I'd be surprising anyone who knows me by saying that I'm a Jurassic franchise superfan. I'm even someone who enthusiastically enjoyed both of the previous sequels to Jurassic World. But I can agree with everyone that 1993's Jurassic Park is the high bar of the series, and even when hearing various claims that Jurassic World: Rebirth was a love letter to that very modern classic, I put aside my usual trepidations. Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Release Date: July 2, 2025Directed By: Gareth EdwardsWritten By: David KoeppStarring: Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, and Ed SkreinRating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence/action, bloody images, some suggestive references, language and a drug 134 minutes I was wrong to do that, because if this is supposed to be a declaration of love for that original movie, it veers far from the mark. Stop me if you've heard this one: the hubris of humanity led to the recreation of dinosaurs, which our species now wants to exploit in the name of profit. What passes for novelty this time around is Rebirth's new island location, a remote facility where mutated attractions were being created for the main park. This lost world is now hosting a mercenary team led by Scarlett Johansson's Zora Bennett, with the goal being to recover genetic samples of the largest dinosaurs. The aim is to create a super drug that benefits cardiac health, and if that was the sole focus of this story, I might have been able to get on board. That's not what happens, however, as a family unit (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono and Audrina Miranda) randomly shipwrecked by some dinosaurs is rescued by the aforementioned mercenary team – an effort to make the tale into something more "blockbuster" worthy. And that is where the greatest irony presented in Jurassic World Rebirth lies, as watching this movie didn't invigorate my dino loving heart; rather, it broke it into 65 million pieces. As well-cast as Jurassic World Rebirth's mercenary mission plotline is, it should be the one and only plot this picture follows. Along with Johansson (a Jurassic superfan herself) are Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and Mahershala Ali. That sort of roster almost makes you think you're in for a Wes Anderson adventure, especially with Johansson and Friend being Asteroid City veterans. I think I honestly would take a modest stop-motion Anderson film over what we have here, with all of the money and effects a mega franchise can buy. And that is what brings me to the heart of my disappointment: writer David Koepp's script. Returning to the franchise for the first time since 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the scribe has given us a story that induces head-scratching. There is literally a moment where this film finds its characters minutes away from Ile Saint-Hubert, the island at the heart of Rebirth, only to turn around and save the family that'll give us our merchandising-friendly subplot. It's a move that's questioned by all but Zora and Duncan Kincaid (Mahershala Ali) – her traumatized friend who offers her conscience a window to sneak in Jurassic World Rebirth's unsubtle social messaging. With past films offering spins on Michael Crichton's thesis of scientific power being mishandled by humanity's hubris, director Gareth Edwards' entry focuses on the class inequality inherent with such big pharma fortune seeking. But it never lands its ideas as well as the previous films, which leads to a promising story beat turning into a blunt instrument that beats us over the head. As for the Jurassic part of this equation, Koepp's pre-release promise to not change the series canon holds up. However, Rebirth doesn't feel like a movie that's interested in even touching the more recent stories at hand, as seen in the decision to wipe out most of the world's dinosaurs at the start of the film. If anything, this feels like a partial attempt to execute a Halloween 2018 style sequel in Jurassic World's universe – selectively side stepping previous developments while eager to include legacy character name drops and callbacks. So I'd check those dino droppings for member berries, as I have a feeling they've poisoned what could have been a fun romp. For as much complaining as I've done about Jurassic World Rebirth's human characters, I can see the promise that they represent. Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey in particular have fantastic chemistry as the characters that puzzle out the moral dilemma we're supposed to be invested in. Mahershala Ali is left on the outside looking in, infusing as much personality as he can as an undeveloped figure of conscience. So with lackluster humans, you'd think the dinosaurs would pick the slack, right? Instead, I am shocked at how dino-avoidant Rebirth actually is, especially with mutant creatures on the table. So much of the hype surrounding the fifth Jurassic sequel has been teasing the Distortus Rex, a dinosaur that's literally designed with Alien's Xenomorph and Return of the Jedi's Rancor in mind. But we barely get to see the beast clearly, despite recent marketing not being very shy with the beast's face. As for the rest of our dinosaurs, we get what amounts to a legacy cameo from a T-Rex, bringing to life a long deleted scene from Jurassic Park's original script. It's not very long or terribly exciting, and the only benefit I can honestly claim is that we get to see a sleepy Rex roll over like an adorable house cat. That's not exactly an adventure 32 years in the making. Yet somehow, with Jurassic World Rebirth's beasts mostly hiding in the background – save for Dolores, an adorable Aquilops – I still found myself once again rooting for the dinosaurs. The big difference this time out is instead of wanting inGen's unwanted menagerie to teach us a lesson in why we shouldn't play God, I wanted them to take me away from the uninteresting human characters. This is where the Delgado family comes in, as their presence robs Zora Bennett and her team of any substantial development while also giving us an underbaked family unit meant to recall the emotional ride of Lex and Tim in Jurassic Park. It bothers me that the segment of Rebirth's narrative giving people of color its focus feels like a last minute addition. I do not fault stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, Audrina Miranda or David Iacono for their portion of the movie being annoying, especially because I wanted them to work better in the overall structure of the story. Diversity in representation doesn't only belong to the dinosaurs. Audrina Miranda notably also has the skills to sell the CGI/puppetry mashup of Dolores as a mini-dino companion worthy of an actual plotline... but alas, Jurassic World Rebirth doesn't even recognize what it has going for it long enough to really double down, as it flies towards an ending that can't even decide what it wants to be. Some of the worst criticisms of nostalgic legacyquels apply to Jurassic World: Rebirth . Acting as a greatest hits compilation of locations, iconography, and visual beats that made for the most memorable Jurassic moments, there's no heart behind the choices. It's a movie that asks for 'oohs' and 'ahhs' without inspiring them to come from an organic or meaningful place. If you'd asked me before seeing Rebirth if there's such a thing as too many references to John Williams' Jurassic Park theme, I may have said 'No.' But the underwhelming score from composer Alexandre Desplat has proven me wrong, as the numerous deployments of the iconic tune are all I really remember from this would-be adventure picture's score. The greatest failing I think Jurassic World: Rebirth suffers from is an obviously rushed production schedule. I still remember the project being announced out of nowhere last year, barreling down with what seemed like a freight train's worth of momentum to the finish line this summer. It's a lesson we should have learned in the past, as 2001's Jurassic Park III suffered a rushed production that yielded similarly disastrous results. I now feel I need to return to the only other entry I dislike in this canon, if only so I can decide whether I need to apologize for treating it so roughly. Despite my criticisms, I still believe in the promise of the Jurassic franchise at large. For my own personal scorecard to only have two misfires in a canon of seven films (and two wildly entertaining animated series), that's not a bad average to have. If there was a little more time and care given to Rebirth, I could see it being the lean and mean jungle adventure it's attempting to resemble. If there's a new entry announced tomorrow, I'll be there without question. I just hope that if the Jurassic universe continues, it takes its time to let an idea worthy of trotting out these massive marvels dawn on its consciousness. But unfortunately for now, I cannot endorse this walk in the park.

There Were Surprise Jurassic World: Rebirth Screenings Last Night, And The Lucky Fans Have A Lot Of Thoughts
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Jurassic World Rebirth lands in theaters in July, but some lucky fans got to see it earlier this week. Mystery screenings around the country were hosted by major theater chains, including AMC Theaters, where patrons didn't know which movie they were seeing until showtime. While fans were signing up for any experience, they got the screening of a lifetime when they got to check out the new summer blockbuster before everyone else and, based on the reactions, the hype was real following the screening. When it comes to AMC Theaters, the theater chain holds what's called "Screen Unseen" showing featuring mystery movies. So Rebirth marked a big surprise for lucky theater-goers. Full reviews are embargoed until closer to the release date, but fans shared some initial thoughts on social media. One particular fan went in depth when discussing how they view the film's position in the Jurassic Park universe when sharing their thoughts on X: Got to see #JurassicWorldRebirth at @AMCTheatres #screenunseen It was a blast. Doesn't do anything new as far as plot or characters, but it does dinosaurs, suspense and Jurassic so well. Gareth Edwards was an excellent choice to direct. An argument to be made for 2nd best entry! Ahead of the screenings, which happen at a multitude of theaters, some fans pieced together what the movie was ahead of time. That apparently didn't take away from the excitement, though. One person in attendance shared on X: ...#MysteryMondayScreening was in fact #JurassicWorldRebirth and it was incredible, The screening audience was packed, all of them with a hint that it could be it, and it was and so many gasped, shocked and applauded with excitement from the beginning and at the end. Over the last week, there were apparently Internet rumors swirling about the movie pick, with many suspecting on social media that Universal would reveal Jurassic World as the title to be screened. However, some fans didn't want to believe the hype and ended up wishing they caught on sooner as well. Another fan on X said: The Marcus Mystery Movie WAS #JurassicWorldRebirth and I'm an idiot for not wearing my Jurassic Park t-shirt. For once, the Internet and social media told the truth and was right about something. I never fully believe the Internet, because it's the little boy who cried T-Rex. Thankfully, nobody seemed disappointed with the surprise choice, and collectively across the board, the lucky fans seemed to have had a good time with the film. A viewer shared their simple but positive take on X, saying: Jurassic World Rebirth is pretty pretty good. Glad we took a chance* on it for Mystery Monday! Definitely recommend a watch! Big dinosaurs doing dinosaur things! *this was literally the worlds worst kept secret haha! Another fan echoed that take, saying that they'd recommend the summer blockbuster when it finally becomes available to everyone in July: Jurassic World Rebirth Mystery Monday was a win! Would recommend. Hopefully, this positive energy is kept up, and the reception continues to be good as more and more people are able to see the film. The Jurassic World films in general haven't had the best critical reception, and the dinosaur adventure movies have been in dire need of a new direction for a while. Rebirth promises an exciting cast which includes Scarlett Johansson, and the Rebirth trailers have showcased even more exciting visuals that should draw audiences in. It's a good sign that initial reactions are skewing in a promising direction, and I'm looking forward to checking it out when it has its wide release. Jurassic World: Rebirth will open in theaters nationwide on July 2 as part of the 2025 movie release schedule. Also, make sure to check with your local theater to see if any mystery screenings are coming up, as you never know what opportunities you could have at the theater.
