**Dinosaurs Roar Back: ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Devours Box Office Competition**
**Los Angeles, CA –** Dinosaurs continue to be a major draw as “Jurassic World Rebirth” stampeded the box office this Fourth of July weekend, earning a staggering $147 million domestically over five days. The fourth installment in the “Jurassic World” series vastly outperformed early projections, signaling a robust recovery for Hollywood after a slow start to 2025.
The film’s success, nearly matching its predecessor “Jurassic World Dominion” in opening weekend revenue, propelled the overall box office up by over 14% year-to-date compared to last year, according to Comscore data. The summer season, starting in early May, is showing even stronger growth, up 15% compared to 2024.
“This brand will never go extinct because it continues to thrill audiences,” said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at Comscore. “It’s most impressive to have a franchise three decades old, topping the chart once again.” He noted the film’s casting choice of Scarlett Johansson as a significant factor in revitalizing the franchise’s brand.
“Jurassic World Rebirth” knocked “F1”, starring Brad Pitt, down to the number two spot. Despite a strong international presence, “F1” saw a 54% drop in domestic earnings, grossing $26 million this weekend.
However, the reign of dinosaurs may soon face a challenger. Next week sees the highly anticipated release of Warner Bros.’ “Superman,” which analysts predict will generate over $100 million in its opening weekend.
Shawn Robbins, director of analytics at Fandango, believes the upcoming releases of “Superman” and Disney’s “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” could account for a significant portion of this summer’s domestic box office. He also pointed out the shared target audience of young men among “F1,” “Jurassic World Rebirth,” and “Superman”, adding “It’s summer. It’s the time when multiple films can coexist”.
With a promising lineup of blockbusters, the summer movie season is poised for significant success, proving that the box office is alive and well.
