Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Box Office Hits First Huge Milestone Ahead Of Holiday Weekend

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth has already surged past a major box office milestone. The standalone sequel, which stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, is the seventh installment in the Jurᴀssic franchise, which kicked off in 1993 with Steven Spielberg’s Michael Crichton adaptation, Jurᴀssic Park. The new movie, which was directed by Gareth Edwards and co-stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Rupert Friend, and Ed Skrein, follows a covert ops team hired by a pharmaceutical company to extract dinosaur DNA on an island where InGen developed mutant species.

Per Variety, Jurᴀssic World Rebirth earned $25.3 million at the domestic box office on Thursday after opening midweek ahead of the Fourth of July holiday in the United States. This brings its cumulative domestic total to $55.8 million, making it only the 18th 2025 movie to pᴀss the $50 million domestic milestone before its first proper weekend even begins.

What This Means For Jurᴀssic World Rebirth

It Has Fallen Behind The Previous Jurᴀssic World Movies

The Jurᴀssic World Rebirth release is off to a strong start after hitting this milestone. Overall, its 5-day opening weekend is currently projected to hit a whopping total of $137.5 million. This means that its traditional 3-day weekend debut would be roughly $81.7 million, which is the lowest of the World movies but higher than the entire Park trilogy.

It similarly lands ahead of the Park trilogy but behind the World trilogy in terms of how long it took to hit $50 million, as each of the previous three installments only took one day. However, those тιтles all opened on Fridays with Thursday previews, which skews the numbers slightly. Below, see a breakdown of the overall box office performance of the Jurᴀssic movies, as well as how many days it took each installment to hit the $50 million domestic milestone.

While Rebirth seems to have fallen behind its three immediate predecessors, all of which are billion-dollar тιтles, if it continues on its current trajectory, the standalone sequel still seems on track to gross between $570 million and $740 million by the end of its run.

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth currently holds a 72% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Any total in that range would be a boon, as the reported budget of Jurᴀssic World Rebirth is $180 million. While its exact break-even point is unknown, that price tag could place its estimated break-even point somewhere around $450 million, a total it seems more or less certain to reach.

Our Take On The Jurᴀssic World Rebirth Milestone

The Franchise’s Future Seems Relatively Secure

It remains to be seen how much of a profit the new movie can turn by the end of its run. However, it seems very likely to make a tidy sum, which makes the possible Jurᴀssic World 5 seem much more likely, even just two days into the new movie’s run.

Jurᴀssic World Rebirth was something of a risk, because it does not feature any legacy characters and it only comes three years after the most recent installment, so it lacks the nostalgia that helped make the 2015 legacy sequel a runaway hit. However, that risk seems to have paid major dividends.
