Box Office: ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Stomps to $147 Million Over July Fourth Holiday Weekend


"Jurassic World Rebirth" stomped to $143 million over its first five days in 4,308 North American theaters.

Any long-in-the-tooth series is wont to experience diminishing returns at the box office, and Universal smartly economized with “Jurassic World Rebirth,” which resets the property again with Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali. Directed by Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” “Godzilla”) and written by original “Jurassic Park” screenwriter David Koepp, the action-adventure revolves around a top-secret mission to search for dinosaurs whose DNA holds the key to a wonder drug. “Jurassic World Rebirth” was the weekend’s only major new release, so its only competition was from holdover titles including Brad Pitt’s racing thriller “F1” and Universal’s live action “How to Train Your Dragon” remake.
