La Derecha Diario 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' dominates theaters and reignites the dinosaur craze
The new Jurassic World installment has already grossed more than 318 million and is projecting a new multi-million-dollar trilogy
Jurassic World: Rebirth filled theaters around the world once again, making it clear that the dinosaur phenomenon is more alive than ever. In just five days, Universal's new installment shattered forecasts and grossed millions.
With a more classic approach, the film led by Scarlett Johansson surprised audiences and marked the beginning of a new era for the franchise.
Jurassic World: Rebirth's box office
The film directed by Gareth Edwards achieved 147.3 million dollars in its United States debut, boosted by the July 4th holiday. Over the traditional weekend, it added 91.5 million, showing a solid performance but lower than its predecessors.
In comparison, Jurassic World (2015) opened with 208 million, Fallen Kingdom (2018) with 148 million, and Dominion (2022) with 145. While the numbers show a slight decline, the film secured a strong base thanks to its more contained budget.
Universal bets on a new trilogy
With a production cost of 180 million—well below the 250 million of previous installments—Universal is confident that Rebirth will mark the beginning of a new trilogy. According to analysts, it could surpass 800 or 900 million dollars globally.

The renewed cast and the presence of David Koepp, screenwriter of the original Jurassic Park, generate positive expectations. The plot revolves around a mission to find a species with DNA capable of revolutionizing medicine.
Dinosaurs can't be stopped
Internationally, the film has already added 171 million in 82 markets, reaching a global total of 318 million dollars. The phenomenon remains global, and as Variety explains, “dinosaurs don't understand languages or borders.”
The strong international reception could be key to extending the film's commercial life and consolidating the franchise's relaunch.
The rest of the global box office top 5
F1, the thriller starring Brad Pitt, took second place and has already reached 293 million dollars worldwide. It is followed by the remake of How to Train Your Dragon, with a total of 500 million.
Elio, from Pixar, failed to connect with audiences: it only grossed 96 million and is shaping up to be one of the studio's biggest failures. Meanwhile, 28 Years Later reached 109 million in its third week.
