'Jurassic World Rebirth' Roars At Box Office With USD 312 Million Global Debut

Jurassic World Rebirth, produced by Amblin and Universal Studios, has exceeded expectations, signalling a triumphant return for the dinosaur franchise. The film has successfully revived the interest in the Jurassic saga, created by Steven Spielberg, with a strong domestic and international debut. Despite mixed reviews from the critics, the brand's ever lasting appeal continues to draw massive crowds to theatres.

The massive domestic opening for Jurassic World Rebirth surpasses expectations

Opening ahead of the July 4 holiday, Jurassic World Rebirth is projected to earn USD 141.2 million in its first five days domestically. Of that, USD 85.4 million comes from the traditional three-day weekend, marking the film as the fifth-best Independence Day opening ever. The impressive numbers come despite the Friday holiday limiting audience turnout.

The international box office for Jurassic World Rebirth soars even higher

Overseas audiences have embraced the film even more enthusiastically. With an estimated USD 171.3 million from international markets, Jurassic World Rebirth posts a massive global debut of USD 312.5 million. That makes it the second-highest opening of the Jurassic franchise and the second-biggest launch of 2025, trailing right behind A Minecraft Movie.

Jurassic World Rebirth was a reboot powered by a fresh vision and a familiar legacy

After the conclusion of the original Jurassic World trilogy, Universal Studios recruited the Rogue One director, Gareth Edwards, for a new creative direction for the franchise. The screenplay was penned down by David Koepp, who had written the original Jurassic Park. This blend of new vision and franchise legacy helped reignite interest from both old and new fans.

Holiday timing helped Jurassic World Rebirth despite the competition

The film opened early on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, giving it a head start on the long July 4 weekend. This smart release strategy allowed the film to gain momentum ahead of a traditionally crowded holiday schedule. Although July 4, 2025 fell on a Friday, which is typically a challenging day for premieres, the film still managed to capture a broad audience.
