Jurassic World Rebirth crossed the $300 million mark at the global box office with the close of the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
The Gareth Edwards-directed summer blockbuster starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, has a global tally of $318.318 million after five days on the market (it opened on Wednesday), with $147.3 million coming from North American theaters. That’s comfortably enough for Jurassic World Rebirth to be the number one film in the world right now, but its domestic box office is down compared to recent entries in the long-running franchise.
For example, 2015’s Jurassic World made a huge $258 million domestically during its first five days, 2018’s Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom did $181 million during the same period, and 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion took $172 million. However, putting a more positive spin on Jurassic World Rebirth, it enjoyed the second biggest international opening in the Jurassic franchise, behind only Jurassic World. The question is whether Rebirth will hit a billion dollars, as each film in the prior trilogy managed, and enjoys a big enough commercial success to convince Universal to power on with this intended new trilogy.
IGN’s Jurassic World Rebirth review returned a 5/10. We said: “For a movie that promises a “Rebirth,” the latest Jurassic World plays it frustratingly safe, falling back on the blueprint of the original film, but not shedding any of the problems with the more recent movies.”

Meanwhile, F1: The Movie brought home another $82.4 million for a global total to date of $293.6 million. That makes it Apple’s highest-grossing movie ever after just two weekends, speeding ahead of Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, which managed $221.3 million in 2023.
If you’re wondering how Apple’s other movies have fared at the box office, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon made $158 million, Argylle settled on a disappointing $96 million, and Fly Me to the Moon hit $42 million.
How To Train Your Dragon crossed $500 million at the global box office this weekend to hit $516.94 million. Disney’s Lilo & Stitch has inched closer to the one billion dollar mark with, and is now up to $972.7 million globally ($408.5 million domestic and $564.2 million international) after seven weekends in theaters. Pixar’s Elio, however, has grossed just $96.8 million globally after three weekends, cementing its launch disaster status.
Speaking of launch disasters, Blumhouse’s M3GAN 2.0’s shockingly bad performance continues, with just $30.687 million after two weekends. Earlier this week, Blumhouse boss Jason Blum opened up on what went wrong with M3GAN 2.0, admitting to a number of failings.
On the other side of the horror spectrum, 28 Years Later now has a global total of $125.8 million. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning hit $576.184 million after seven weeks, and Final Destination Bloodlines has a global tally of $284.8 million.
