Jurassic World Rebirth Quietly Beats James Gunn’s Top Hit

After the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Jurassic World Rebirth has now outperformed the global earnings of James Gunn’s highest-grossing film. This success moves Rebirth closer to entering the top 90 highest-grossing films worldwide, highlighting its strong performance at the box office. The consistent earnings have contributed to reaching significant commercial milestones.

Strong Domestic and International Collections Drive Rebirth’s Success

Jurassic World Rebirth is not lagging behind other franchise entries and remains a strong contender for the future of the Scarlett Johansson-led reboot series. Although it trails behind Superman in domestic box office earnings, Rebirth ranks as the fourth highest-grossing film domestically this year, accumulating $339.4 million. On its 76th day in theaters, it still earned $12,585 across 303 screens.

Internationally, the film has accumulated $524.5 million, including $30.8 million from the Japanese market, according to Box Office Mojo. Combined with domestic sales, the Scarlett Johansson-starring film’s worldwide total stands at $863.9 million. This achievement ranks it as the third highest-grossing film of the year and places it within the top 100 highest global earners.

Jurassic World Rebirth Overtakes James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, directed by James Gunn, earned a lifetime worldwide total of $863.75 million, making it the highest-grossing film in Gunn’s career until now. It was also ranked as the 92nd highest-grossing film worldwide. Jurassic World Rebirth has now surpassed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 to claim the 92nd position on that list.

To break into the top 90 all-time highest-grossing films, Rebirth must exceed the $870.3 million gross made by the 2017 Chinese action movie Wolf Warrior 2, which featured Celina Jade, Frank Grillo, Hans Zhang, and Wu Gang.

Audience Enthusiasm Keeps Jurassic World Rebirth’s Momentum Alive

Despite receiving mixed critical reviews, Jurassic World Rebirth proved to be one of Summer 2025’s most lucrative blockbusters. The steady box office performance underscores the enduring appeal of dinosaur action and the strength of the Jurassic franchise as a reliable audience draw. The film’s release on July 2 contributed to maintaining this momentum throughout the summer season.
