Dinosaurs Return: A New Roar in the Box Office

The latest dinosaur movie, "Jurassic World Rebirth, " is making waves at the box office. On its second day, it earned $25. 3 million, bringing its U. S. total to $55. 8 million. Experts predict it will make around $137. 5 million in its first five days. Impressive, but not record-breaking. This isn't the highest-grossing opener in the "Jurassic" series. The original "Jurassic World" from 2015 made $208 million in its opening weekend. Even "Fallen Kingdom" and "Dominion" made more in their first three days than "Rebirth" is expected to make in its entire opening weekend. So, what's the buzz about "Jurassic World Rebirth"? It stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey. They're on a mission to find a special biomaterial for a miracle drug. But let's face it, the real stars are the dinosaurs causing chaos. Making the movie wasn't cheap. It cost $180 million plus marketing. That's less than "Dominion, " which cost around $250 million. Universal hopes this will kick off another trilogy. They're betting big on these prehistoric creatures. Right now, "Jurassic World Rebirth" has the box office to itself. Its main competitors are "F1, " which made $6. 1 million on Thursday, and the live-action "How to Train Your Dragon, " which made $2. 8 million the same day.
