“Jurassic World Rebirth” stampeded past projections to bank $147.3 million domestically across its five-day debut, the biggest Fourth-of-July opening in history and a franchise-best launch that edges out 2022’s “Dominion.” Add another $171 million from 82 overseas markets—including a brawny $41.5 million in China—and the global haul hit $318 million, giving Universal a midsummer juggernaut in a year short on breakouts.
The momentum didn’t stop after the fireworks: by its first Monday, the Scarlett Johansson-led sequel had crossed $150 million in North America, logging one of the strongest post-holiday holds for any blockbuster in the series. Premium formats helped; Dolby Cinema alone contributed a record Independence Day take, while IMAX capacity comes next week once “F1” cedes screens.
With “Superman” and “Fantastic Four” still to come, studio execs are watching whether “Rebirth” can chase the billion-dollar benchmark its predecessors enjoyed. Early signals—strong family turnout, solid overseas word-of-mouth, and a lighter July slate than in pre-pandemic years—suggest the dinos have plenty of run left before extinction sets in.
