‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ delivers ‘biggest opening’ of 2025
Universal is celebrating the stonking success of Jurassic World Rebirth, which has launched with an estimated three-day total of $91.5m in North America (and $147.3m for the five-day July 4 holiday period), plus $171.0m across 82 international markets. Those numbers combine to deliver a $318.3m global opening number – the biggest for any film this year, says the studio.
On a like-for-like comparison, however, the maths becomes fuzzy: A Minecraft Movie opened on the first weekend of April with $313.7m worldwide, without benefit of extra days of holiday play in North America. Lilo & Stitch launched with $304.2m globally, but that number rises to $341.7m if domestic Memorial Day holiday Monday takings are added in.
Still, Jurassic World Rebirth has opened with a powerful number, ahead of tracking and expectations, and similar to the launches of 2025’s two biggest hits to date from US studios, A Minecraft Movie and Lilo & Stitch. It’s the second-biggest global opening for the Jurassic franchise, behind 2015 franchise reboot Jurassic World.
With a cast and setting refresh since the three previous Jurassic World films (which were led by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard), Jurassic World Rebirth – starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey – offers audiences a mix of familiarity and novelty.
Among international markets, China leads with an estimated five-day $41.4m (including $5.5m on Imax), ahead of UK/Ireland with $16.6m.
In China, Jurassic World Rebirth is already the second-biggest US studio release of 2025, behind only Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning ($63.8m so far), and ahead of the totals for hits such as A Minecraft Movie ($29.6m lifetime) and How To Train Your Dragon ($35.4m so far).
In UK/Ireland, Jurassic World Rebirth achieved a 52% market share at the weekend.
Among other international markets, Mexico ranks third with an estimated $13.9m, and a 60% share on Saturday. Germany is next with an estimated $7.6m and 49% share across the weekend, just ahead of South Korea with $7.4m. That’s the biggest opening of 2025 in South Korea, ahead of Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, and the first title this year to reach 1 million admissions on opening weekend.
Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by Gareth Edwards, from a screenplay by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.
Also for Universal, M3GAN 2.0 dropped 65% in international markets and 63% in North America after a frail start. Estimated second-weekend worldwide takings of $8.4m bring the film’s global total to $30.7m. See below for an update on Universal’s How To Train Your Dragon.
‘F1’ zooms to $294m total
A sturdy hold in international holdover markets (down just 28%) helped Apple Original Films’ F1 (aka F1: The Movie) achieve a powerful result in its second weekend of play. The Warner Bros-distributed Formula One motor racing drama grossed an estimated $56.3m for international at the weekend, taking the total to $181.4m.
In North America, a 54% drop saw estimated weekend takings of $25.1m, and a $109.6m total. These numbers combine to yield a $293.6m worldwide total – the biggest number ever for an Apple title, ahead of Ridley Scott’s Napoleon ($221.4m lifetime worldwide according to available data) and Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon ($158.8m).
China, with $22.0m so far, has overtaken UK/Ireland ($17.3m) to become the top international market. Mexico ($12.3m to date) remains in third place, ahead of France ($11.5m), Australia ($9.8m), South Korea ($7.8m), India ($7.0m), Japan ($6.5m) and Germany ($6.5m). Next comes United Arab Emirates ($5.8m), where the film climaxes at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Imax screens continue to make a powerful contribution to the success of F1, delivering an estimated $18.5m for the film at the weekend, and more than $60m to date (more than 20% of the worldwide total).
F1 is now the top-grossing film in the motorsport genre, ahead of James Mangold’s Ford V Ferrari (aka Le Mans ’66), which achieved a lifetime total of $226.3m worldwide in 2019.
Family films ‘How To Train Your Dragon’, ‘Lilo & Stitch’ and ‘Elio’ battle at worldwide box office
Rounding out the top five at the worldwide box office, below the dinosaurs and the Formula One cars, is a trio of family titles: Universal/DreamWorks’ live-action remake How To Train Your Dragon, Disney’s live-action remake Lilo & Stitch and Disney/Pixar original animation Elio.
How To Train Your Dragon added another estimated $32.0m worldwide at the weekend, taking the total to $516.9m. It has now overtaken the $495m lifetime total achieved globally by 2010’s animated How To Train Your Dragon, and will soon catch up with the $540m reached by the third and concluding film in the animated series, 2019’s How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. In 2014, reigning franchise topper How To Train Your Dragon 2 grossed $622m worldwide.
Lilo & Stitch added another estimated $13.7m worldwide at the weekend, taking its total to $972.7m – the biggest for any US studio title so far this year, ahead of A Minecraft Movie ($954.9m). Both are eclipsed globally this year by Chinese animation Ne Zha 2.
Despite having been on release for four weekends longer than Elio, Lilo & Stitch grossed more than its Disney stablemate did at the weekend. In its third weekend of play, Elio pulled in an estimated $12.4m, taking its total to $96.8m – $55.1m in North America and $41.7m for international.
Disney can point to the eventual success of Pixar’s Elemental after a sluggish start two years ago ($496m lifetime) – but Elemental had reached $186.8m after three weekends of play, almost double the current Elio number.
Going forward, the start of the summer school holiday in key markets should lend a hand sustain Elio, and also Lilo & Stitch and How To Train Your Dragon. The challenge is to hold on to screens with the arrival this week of Warner Bros/DC Studios’ Superman, with family-friendly Smurfs, The Fantastic 4: First Steps and The Bad Guys 2 all likewise to come in July.
