Jurassic World Rebirth has outpaced a major 2023 hit, surpassing Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer in domestic box office revenue. Released on July 2, the film is the seventh installment in the Jurassic Park series and serves as a standalone sequel to the Jurassic World trilogy. Featuring Scarlett Johansson in the role of covert operations specialist Zora Bennett, the story follows a mission to extract DNA from dangerous mutant dinosaurs on a remote island.
The film’s debut strategically aligned with the Independence Day holiday weekend, propelling it to the number one spot at the box office. It also set a new record for the highest domestic single-day Fourth of July earnings. Following its theatrical run, Jurassic World Rebirth transitioned to video on demand on August 5 but remains available in select theaters.
Current Box Office Standing and Comparison to Universal’s Top Hits
As of its seventh weekend, Jurassic World Rebirth is forecasted to earn an additional $2.7 million over a three-day period, despite dropping to ninth place in weekend rankings. This will raise its total domestic gross to approximately $331.9 million, making it only the fourth film in 2025 to exceed $330 million domestically according to Deadline.
By surpassing Oppenheimer’s $330.1 million domestic gross, Jurassic World Rebirth climbs to 14th place on Universal Pictures’ all-time highest-grossing domestic releases list. Oppenheimer, a critically acclaimed biographical drama by Christopher Nolan, achieved global earnings of $975.8 million and took home seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Prospects for Further Box Office Growth
Although the weekend earnings for Jurassic World Rebirth are slowing late in its theatrical run, the film still has the potential to climb further on the Universal domestic chart. It requires just $4.1 million more to overtake the 2015 animated hit Minions, reaching 13th place overall. However, the next tier, represented by Furious 7 with $353 million domestically, appears out of reach given the current revenue trajectory.
Contextualizing Jurassic World Rebirth’s Box Office Performance
While Jurassic World Rebirth strengthens its position among Universal’s top 15 domestic releases, it remains the lowest-grossing entry within the Jurassic World subset. The three preceding films in this series each exceeded $374 million during their domestic theatrical runs. Notably, the 2015 Jurassic World remains Universal’s highest-grossing domestic title, amassing $652.3 million.
Despite this, Jurassic World Rebirth is regarded as a commercial success, having garnered over $800 million worldwide against an estimated production budget of $225 million. It ranks as the fourth highest-grossing movie of 2025 to date, underscoring its strong global appeal.
Main Cast and Characters
The film stars Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett, a covert operations expert central to the narrative. Jonathan Bailey appears as Dr. Henry Loomis, contributing to the story’s scientific and strategic elements surrounding the mutant dinosaur outbreak.
