Jurassic World Rebirth has dominated the global movie office, earning an incredible $318 million on its first weekend, despite early worries about “dinosaur fatigue.” The film outpaced the high-octane competition, including the much-anticipated F1 racing drama, which had been projected to lead the holiday box office.
The latest installment in the blockbuster Jurassic franchise tapped into nostalgic appeal while introducing a fresh storyline and cutting-edge visual effects. Analysts credit the film’s strong performance to a potent mix of loyal fan base, family-friendly action, and global marketing reach.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow, the film features returning stars and a new generation of characters, reigniting interest in the dino-verse. China, the UK, and the Middle East were among the major international areas where the film did especially well.
While F1 saw a respectable turnout, Jurassic World Rebirth’s commanding lead confirms that the dino franchise still has plenty of bite left.
