Roaring Start: Scarlett Johansson's 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Storms US Box Office, Nabs 6th Biggest Opening of 2025

The prehistoric world has roared back to life on the silver screen, as Scarlett Johansson's highly anticipated Jurassic World Rebirth made a formidable debut at the domestic box office. The film, directed by Gareth Edwards, stomped its way to an impressive $30.50 million on its opening day alone, securing its place as the sixth-biggest opener of 2025 so far.

This strong performance sees Jurassic World Rebirth outpace several other notable releases of the year, including F1, Mission: Impossible 8, Final Destination: Bloodlines, and Sinners. However, it still trails behind some of the year's top contenders. Ahead of the sci-fi spectacle are A Minecraft Movie ($57.1 million), Lilo And Stitch ($55.9 million), Captain America: Brave New World ($40.9 million), How To Train Your Dragon ($35.4 million), and Thunderbolts* ($31.8 million) in terms of opening day collections at the US box office.

Eyeing a Mighty Independence Day Weekend Haul

Released strategically on Independence Day, Jurassic World Rebirth got off to a better start than a previous holiday release, Despicable Me, which opened with $27.2 million, notably without the boost of Tuesday previews. The film's early momentum suggests a significant first five-day opening weekend. Industry watchers are projecting a robust take of around $125 million to $140 million by the end of the holiday weekend. Its initial three-day collection is estimated to fall between $75 million and $85 million, though its ultimate success will heavily rely on how well it holds and grows over the coming days.

A Franchise Contender: Rebirth's Place in Jurassic History

Within the storied Jurassic World franchise itself, Scarlett Johansson's latest outing has firmly established its presence. Jurassic World Rebirth has emerged as the fourth-best opener in the series' history. For context, the original Jurassic World in 2015 commanded a colossal $82 million on its opening day. Jurassic World Dominion (2022) debuted with $59.6 million, while Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) opened to $58 million in the domestic markets.

As the weekend unfolds, all eyes will be on Jurassic World Rebirth to see if it can maintain its impressive early momentum and carve out its own legacy amidst the titans of the franchise. Will it match the roaring glory of its predecessors? Only time, and the box office numbers, will tell.

Stay tuned for further updates on its performance!
