Jurassic World Rebirthhas already surged past a major box office milestone. The standalone sequel, which stars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, is the seventh installment in theJurassicfranchise, which kicked off in 1993 with Steven Spielberg’s Michael Crichton adaptation,Jurassic Park. The new movie, which was directed by Gareth Edwards and co-stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Rupert Friend, and Ed Skrein, follows a covert ops team hired by a pharmaceutical company to extract dinosaur DNA on an island where InGen developed mutant species.
PerVariety,Jurassic World Rebirthearned $25.3 million at the domestic box office on Thursday after opening midweek ahead of the Fourth of July holiday in the United States. This brings its cumulative domestic total to $55.8 million, making it onlythe 18th 2025 movie to pass the $50 million domestic milestonebefore its first proper weekend even begins.
What This Means For Jurassic World Rebirth
It Has Fallen Behind The Previous Jurassic World Movies
TheJurassic World Rebirthreleaseis off to a strong start after hitting this milestone. Overall, its 5-day opening weekend is currently projected to hit a whopping total of $137.5 million. This means that its traditional 3-day weekend debut would be roughly $81.7 million, which is the lowest of theWorldmovies buthigher than the entireParktrilogy.
It similarly lands ahead of theParktrilogy but behind theWorldtrilogy in terms of how long it took to hit $50 million, as each of the previous three installments only took one day. However,those titles all opened on Fridays with Thursday previews, which skews the numbers slightly. Below, see a breakdown of the overall box office performance of theJurassicmovies, as well as how many days it took each installment to hit the $50 million domestic milestone.

WhileRebirthseems to have fallen behind its three immediate predecessors, all of which are billion-dollar titles, if it continues on its current trajectory, the standalone sequel stillseems on track to gross between $570 million and $740 million by the end of its run.
Jurassic World Rebirthcurrently holds a 72% audience score onRotten Tomatoes.
Any total in that range would be a boon, as the reportedbudget ofJurassic World Rebirthis $180 million. While its exact break-even point is unknown, that price tag could place its estimated break-even point somewhere around $450 million, a total it seems more or less certain to reach.
Our Take On The Jurassic World Rebirth Milestone
The Franchise’s Future Seems Relatively Secure
It remains to be seen how much of a profit the new movie can turn by the end of its run. However,it seems very likely to make a tidy sum, which makes thepossibleJurassic World 5seem much more likely, even just two days into the new movie’s run.
Jurassic World Rebirthwas something of a risk, because it does not feature any legacy characters and it only comes three years after the most recent installment, so it lacks the nostalgia that helped make the 2015 legacy sequel a runaway hit. However, that risk seems to have paid major dividends.
