The newest installment in the “Jurassic Park,” franchise, “Jurassic World Rebirth,” arrived in theaters on July 2, 2025, last Wednesday. Its box office was initially projected to be $260 million, yet it easily cleared this calculation with an impressive $380 million.
According to AP News, “The Universal Pictures release, directed by Gareth Edwards, opened on Wednesday and earned $147.3 million in its first five days in 4,308 North American theaters. An estimated $91.5 million of that comes from the traditional ‘three day’ weekend” and that “Internationally, it opened in 82 markets including China, adding $171 million to the opening total. According to the studio, $41.5 million of that came from China alone, where it played on 65,000 screens, 760 of which were IMAX.”
With how poorly “Jurassic World Dominion,” was received in 2022, despite being a massive box office success, it was uncertain if audiences would turn out for the new, now seventh, installment in the “Jurassic Park,” film series, yet it seems general audiences are still willing to see the iconic dinosaurs cause chaos on the big screen, with “Jurassic World Rebirth,” dominating the 2025 domestic box office, beating out titles such as “F1 The Movie,” at $26.1 million, “Elio,” at $5.7 million, “How to Train Your Dragon,” at $11 million and so on.
It is a very real possibility that the timing of its release date may have saved it as it dropped right on time for the fourth of July weekend, which could have acted as a strong draw for people to go movie viewing. With this clear success in box office returns it is clear that “Jurassic World Rebirth,” will continue its theatrical run for a while, however the possibility of it keeping its current momentum remains to be seen.
