Box Office Report
The dinosaurs are back as Universal’s Jurassic World Rebirth took the top spot on the holiday weekend, bringing in an estimated $147.3 million in North America. The tent pole, directed by Gareth Edwards, earned $91.5 million from 4,308 cinemas over the three-day period from Friday to Sunday.
Opening Weekend Numbers
This is behind the debut of $145.1 million in June 2022 for Jurassic World: Dominion, but enough for the third three-day bow of the year, behind A Minecraft Film and Lilo & Stitch. The film also earned $26.3 million on Friday, $36.7 million on Saturday, and $28.5 million on Sunday.
Audience Breakdown
The tent pole pulled in a male audience of 59% and 57% aged 25, with the 18-24 bracket making up the most of the moviegoers at 24%. By ethnicity, the breakdown was: Caucasian 46%, Hispanics 26%, African Americans 13%, and Asians 9%.
Expectations and Comparisons
With schools on holiday, Rebirth is expected to hold well in July, although Superhuman arrives next week. The 2015 film Jurassic World finished with $653.4 million in North America. In combination with $171 million from 82 territories, Rebirth delivered a $318.3 million opening, the top opening of 2025 and the second-highest debut of the franchise behind Jurassic World.
