Jurassic World Rebirth has reached $ 147 million in the fourth weekend of July, but can it bring a new trilogy?

Universal Jurassic World Rebirth Open to $ 147.3 million at national level in its first five days, easily dominating the box office of July 4th. Ring in 4.308 North American theaters, the traditional $ 91.5 million weekend of the film put it comfortably in first place.

While the numbers are solid, they mark a considerable decline compared to the previous voices in the 32 -year -old franchise.

For comparison, 2015 Jurassic world He came out of the gate with a huge weekend of 208 million dollars debut. His sequels, Fallen kingdom (2018) and Domain (2022), withdrawn $ 148 million and $ 145 million, respectively, during their three -day openings.

In five days, the new film is even further back: Jurassic world hit $ 258 million, Fallen kingdom brought $ 181 million e Domain has reached $ 172 million. Rebirth’s drop reflects the wear of a franchise that has gone from many evolutionary cycles Jurassic Park For the first time on the screens in 1993.

However, Universal was intelligent to curb the costs this time. While the previous world films brought the prices close to $ 250 million, the rebirth was made for relatively modest $ 180 million (excluding marketing). That number makes profitability more achievable, even if this episode does not break the sign from billions of dollars like its predecessors.

Universal hopes that this last voice, which characterizes Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan BaileyAND Maershala aliwill kick off a brand new trilogy.

The global response so far supports that hope. Abroad, Jurassic World Rebirth He brought a thunderous $ 171 million in 82 markets, bringing his debut all over the world to $ 318 million. AS David A. Gross Di Franchisere says: “The series has been particularly good abroad and, so far, foreign affairs are exceptional. The action of dinosaurs is included in all languages ​​and in all cultures”.

Directed by Rogue One‘S Gareth Edwards and written by Jurassic Parkoriginal screenwriter David Koepp, Rebirth Move the formula with a narrower focus.

The plot follows a secret mission linked to the DNA of dinosaurs and its potential as amazed drugs. It is a slightly more grounded recovery, to the espionage taste, but it is still full of teeth and shows.

Critically, it is going better than Chris Pratt-Led trilogy. Word of mouth seems to help, with the President of the National Distribution of Universal Jim Orr who says: “Jurassic World Rebirth This is exactly what the public wants to see in a summer successful film: a great cast, a great direction and great images. Word of mouth is phenomenal, which indicates a great race throughout the summer. “

The film did not face much competition. His biggest rival was F1, Brad PittThe racing thriller, which went to second place with $ 26.1 million in its second weekend, which is a 54%dip. However, this brings his total North American to $ 109 million and $ 293.6 million globally, making Apple’s theatrical release so far.

Third, Universal’s live action How to train your dragon Remake added $ 9.7 million, bringing his total all over the world to $ 516 million. Pixar’s Helium He took the fourth with $ 4.9 million, although with a global total of $ 96 million, he is on the way to be one of the films with Pixar’s most recess. To complete the first five28 years later It dropped by 64% to earn $ 4.6 million, pushing its global radius to $ 125.8 million.

Meanwhile, Disney’s Lilo & Stitch Remake is quietly becoming a monster blow, close to the billion stone of $ 1 billion with $ 972 million all over the world. Of course, a sequel is already under development.

After a strong stretch of July 4, the 2025 box office now monitors 14% in view of last year, even if in 2019 it is still over 25% of pre-plays.

As the Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian observed, “with the holiday of July 4 that floats around the calendar, the apple-fractelli comparisons become a little difficult, [but] This will be one of the best frames on the day of independence for cinemas. The combination of films in this theatrical market is impressive. “

Jurassic World Rebirth It may not be a record explosion, but it is clearly alive and kicked. Now the real question is: can it keep the momentum? I loved the rebirth, so I can’t wait to see what happens in the franchise.
