— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) July 5, 2025Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp, Rebirth features Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey as a rescue team battling dinosaurs at an island facility, per Deadline. With a $180 million budget, lower than Jurassic World’s $208.8 million opening in 2015, the film strikes a balance between spectacle and cost, produced by Frank Marshall and Steven Spielberg.
Rebirth outpaced competitors like F1: The Movie ($25 million second weekend), How to Train Your Dragon live-action, Elio, and 28 Years Later, per Variety. Its success builds on the Jurassic franchise’s $6 billion global gross since 1993, per Universal. The film’s appeal, driven by nostalgia and new stars, contrasts with 2022’s Dominion ($145 million debut), reinforcing the enduring draw of dinosaurs in a $40 billion film market.
“F1” earned $7 million on Friday. Brad Pitt's international racing drama is projected to earn $24 million over the weekend and speed past $107 million by Sunday.https://t.co/ocnaDjG4RO pic.twitter.com/Mjdh10IRVb
