Universal’s latest installment in the dinosaur franchise, Jurassic World: Rebirth, is making a powerful comeback at the North American box office. By the end of Day 3, the film had already earned over $81.7 million, with projections indicating it will cross the $100 million mark during the extended Fourth of July weekend. Released on July 2 across 4,063 theaters, the film benefits from the holiday footfall and widespread availability in premium formats such as IMAX.
Strong Start Despite Franchise Pressure
The movie opened with $30.5 million on Day 1, followed by $25.3 million on Day 2 and around $26 million on Day 3. While these numbers fall short of earlier Jurassic World entries some of which crossed $200 million in their first weekend Rebirth is outperforming the original Jurassic Park trilogy and carving out a solid position within the franchise.
Audience Appeal Drives Momentum
Despite receiving a “B” CinemaScore and mixed reviews from critics, Rebirth has found favor with general audiences. The Rotten Tomatoes audience score hovers around 72%, indicating positive word-of-mouth. Nostalgia, combined with Scarlett Johansson’s lead performance and action-heavy storytelling, is keeping ticket sales strong.
Looking Ahead
The film faces stiff competition from upcoming releases like the new Superman reboot. However, if it maintains momentum through the holiday and delivers a strong second-week hold, Jurassic World: Rebirth could become one of the top summer blockbusters of 2025.
