Box Office: ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Bites Off $26 Million Friday, ‘F1’ Races Toward $100 Million


'Jurassic Park Rebirth' and 'F1' are leading the box office over Fourth of July weekend.

Universal’s “ Jurassic World Rebirth,” the seventh in the historic franchise, took a T-Rex sized bite out of the box office with $26 million domestically from 6,105 venues on the Fourth of July. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey as they traverse a deadly jungle landscape hunting for dino DNA that could be used to cure all heart-related diseases. A darling for premium formats like Imax and Dolby, the Joseph Kosinski title represents the first blockbuster win for Apple Studios after commercial misfires like “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Argylle.” Damson Idris stars as a young up-and-comer headlining an underperforming team opposite Pitt as his grizzled mentor/teammate with nothing to lose.
