Dino-Mania: Jurassic World Rebirth Stomps Box Office
Despite mixed reviews, Jurassic World Rebirth has taken the box office by storm with a global opening of over $300 million. This is a significant achievement, especially considering the usual drop in movie attendance during the Fourth of July weekend due to holiday plans. The enduring power of the Jurassic brand and the excitement of seeing dinosaurs on the big screen have proven irresistible.
Domestic and Overseas Performance
- Domestic Opening: Estimated at $141.2 million over five days, with $85.4 million from the three-day weekend.
- 5th-best Fourth of July opening ever
- 4th-biggest domestic opening of 2025 so far
- Overseas Opening: Estimated at $171.3 million
- Global Total: $312.5 million, the second-best opening of the year behind A Minecraft Movie.
About the Film
Jurassic World Rebirth is the seventh installment in the franchise, directed by Gareth Edwards and written by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey and follows an extraction team racing to a research facility on an island from the original Jurassic Park, now inhabited by the most dangerous creatures left behind.
Cost and Franchise Success
The film's success is even more impressive considering its lower production cost of $180 million before marketing. While the first three Jurassic World films each grossed over $1 billion globally, Rebirth's strong performance shows the franchise still has a lot of life left in it.
