The film brought in \u00a32 million from previews on Wednesday, July 2nd. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the science-fiction blockbuster stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali as a team of specialists on a mission to secure life-saving DNA of dinosaurs in dangerous waters.<\/p>\n<h2>The Jurassic Park Franchise<\/h2>\n<p><em>Rebirth<\/em> is the seventh feature overall in the Jurassic Park franchise and the fourth since it was rebooted with <em>Jurassic World<\/em> in 2015. The 2015 title is the highest-grossing film in the franchise, with a massive opening of \u00a316.8 million and a total of \u00a364.5 million. <em>Jurassic Park<\/em> still holds the second place, opening with \u00a35 million and ending with \u00a348.8 million &#8211; a colossal result for 1993. The last title, 2022&#8217;s <em>Jurassic World Dominion<\/em>, opened at \u00a312.1 million and ended with \u00a335.1 million.<\/p>\n<h2>Box Office Expectations<\/h2>\n<p>All three previous <em>World<\/em> titles have opened above the \u00a310 million mark. Although only two films (<em>Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy<\/em> and <em>A Minecraft Movie<\/em>) have repeated this feat this year, it would be a good result for Universal if <em>Rebirth<\/em> can achieve this.<\/p>\n<h2>Other New Releases<\/h2>\n<p>Next to <em>Rebirth<\/em>, Mubi is distributing <em>Hot Milk<\/em>, which opens in 115 cinemas today. This is the directorial debut of British dramatist Rebecca Lenkiewicz, starring Emma Mackey, Fiona Shaw, and Vicky Krieps.
