Jurassic World Rebirth is off to a roaring start, with Universal and Amblin setting a sky-high box office goal: a $1 billion global haul, something even Apple’s F1: The Movie couldn’t pull off. The dino-packed blockbuster opened to a massive $318.3 million worldwide, including $147.3 million domestically over a five-day stretch and $171 million internationally. It’s already flirting with the franchise’s biggest debuts and has all the momentum to become 2025’s biggest hit.
With stars like Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali and hype that hasn’t let up since the trailer dropped, analysts like Rob Mitchell predicted a billion-dollar run, and the numbers are backing that up.
Meanwhile, F1, Apple’s first true box office success, opened with a solid $146.3 million globally, but that figure feels modest next to Rebirth’s dinosaur-sized debut. While F1 was praised for revving up Apple’s film division, it’s already trailing behind Universal’s juggernaut.
Bottom line? Jurassic World Rebirth isn’t just another sequel. It’s Universal’s major event film of the year, and it’s gunning for the box office crown. If the early numbers are any clue, dinosaurs still rule the world, at least at the movies.
More details about Jurassic World Rebirth and F1: The Movie
Jurassic World Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, is the seventh chapter in the iconic dinosaur saga and a standalone sequel to Dominion. The film is being led by Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey, who are joined by Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend, and others. With a talented cast, good writing, and the nostalgia of a franchise that has now been renewed, the film has come out performing better than projections, and it has spent less than a week in theaters.
Meanwhile, F1 revved into theaters with much intensity and speed, thanks to Brad Pitt's star power and its dramatization of a sport that is loved by millions. The film has been appreciated for its high-octane racing scenes, although eagle-eyed fans did spot a few errors here and there. Backed up by Mercedes racer Lewis Hamilton, the film tells the story of Pitt's Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver who returns to the world of racing after a near-fatal accident and a long break. Full of real-life racer cameos and enough realism to make you feel like you're watching an actual race, F1: The Movie nearly checks all of the boxes for a perfect sports drama.
