With Jurassic World Rebirth<\/strong> now in theaters, its early box office<\/strong> performance is being closely compared to the previous trilogy. Despite a solid holiday debut, projections indicate it will open below the last three Jurassic World films.<\/p>\n

Jurassic World Rebirth\u2019s Wednesday box office starts strong<\/p>\n

Universal\u2019s Jurassic World Rebirth reportedly opened to an estimated $28 million on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, not including Tuesday previews.<\/p>\n

This ranks as the fourth-highest opening day in the Jurassic franchise and marks only the second time a series entry opened on a Wednesday, following 2001\u2019s Jurassic Park III which earned $19 million. The top three opening days in the franchise remain Jurassic World (2015) with $81.9 million, Dominion (2022) with $59.5 million, and Fallen Kingdom (2018) with $58.5 million (via Deadline<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The film is tracking a $77.5 million 3-day total and a $127.5 million 5-day holiday weekend gross. However, forecasts remain uncertain due to July 4 falling on a Friday. When Independence Day previously landed on a Friday in 2014, Transformers: Age of Extinction saw a 28% drop in its Friday earnings compared to the previous day. <\/p>\n

Universal has a history of strong July 4th openings post-Covid, including F9 ($70 million 3-day in 2021), Minions: The Rise of Gru ($123 million 4-day in 2022), and Despicable Me 4 ($122.6 million 5-day in 2023).<\/p>\n

Jurassic World Rebirth\u2019s box office won\u2019t beat previous trilogy<\/p>\n

Jurassic World Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards and released by Universal and Amblin, is screening in 4,308 theaters, including premium large format screens. It holds a 53% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, an increase from Dominion<\/a>\u2018s 29%.<\/p>\n

Starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, and Rupert Friend, the film introduces a new cast while continuing the franchise\u2019s legacy.\u00a0Rebirth\u2019s Wednesday opening, while solid, falls well short of the 2015 film\u2019s record-setting debut.<\/p>\n
