Jurassic World Rebirth dropped on July 2 and raked in a jaw-dropping $100 million worldwide within two days. By Thursday, the movie had earned an impressive $104.6 million worldwide, with $55.8 million from North America and $48.8 million internationally.
Dino-Sized Debut Monday to Thursday
Rebirth hit theaters internationally on July 3 and raked in $22.3 million from 70 countries, with big crowds showing up in India and France. India’s opening day numbers hit ₹9 crore (roughly $1.1 million), topping local Bollywood films and Brad Pitt’s F1 movie.
China kicked things off strong on July 3, pulling in $9.9 million on day one – the biggest studio launch of the year so far, grabbing 64% of the market across 65,000 screens. Koimoi updated its pre-sale numbers, bumping the five-day estimate in China up to $30 to $40 million. Meanwhile, Reddit’s r/box office had its own take on things.
“In China Jurassic World Rebirth debuts with $9.91M. Good opening day but pre-sales show signs of frontloadness. 5 Day opening adjusted down slightly to $42-44M.”
Projections Point to Explosive Holiday Weekend
If Box Office Pro and Vulture are right, the holiday weekend is looking pretty strong with domestic earnings between $120 and $140 million, and a global haul climbing up to $280 million.
Fans on r/boxoffice are buzzing. One user enthused:
“Jurassic World Rebirth thrashes past $100M global in first two days”
Another offered an analytical take:
“Jurassic World: Rebirth can have the highest profit in the IP since Jurassic World while also having the lowest gross since Jurassic Park III”
Franchise in Perspective & Critical Reaction
While it technically comes after Dominion (2022), Rebirth has its own flavor and leans hard into nostalgia. This one’s got Gareth Edwards behind the camera, David Koepp on the keyboard, and stars like Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. But don’t expect another rollercoaster ride; this story dives headfirst into a pharma-meets-DNA twist.
While the action and callbacks got a thumbs-up from critics, some weren’t too impressed with the script or how deep the characters were. Even though the opening isn’t as huge as the last two Jurassic World films, it still did better than the older ones. Dominion kicked off at $145 million, Fallen Kingdom hit $150 million, and Jurassic Park III opened closer to $50 million.
China Release: A Critical Variable
China’s box office is back in action. According to Koimoi, pre-sales have hit $3.9 million in eleven days, though that’s still a step behind Dominion’s $7.1 million. Even with everything going on, that $30 to $40 million opening is looking pretty promising.
Bigger world issues might end up making a dent in the money that’s coming in later. China just added more limits on movies from the U.S. because of the ongoing tariff drama, which now throws a wrench in the release plans for Hollywood hits like Rebirth.
