Dinosaurs ruled the July 4th holiday weekend, with Jurassic World: Rebirth having the third-largest five-day Independence Day opening and a huge three-day opening weekend.
Jurassic World: Rebirth took in $91.5 million for the Friday-to-Sunday period and $147.8 million in total domestically, as it opened on Wednesday last week. The three-day weekend is the fourth best for the Jurassic franchise behind its three Jurassic World predecessors. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $322.6 million, marking the largest global debut of the year. For the Fourth of July, Rebirth is behind Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Spider-Man 2 for the best five-day holiday weekend. For director Gareth Edwards, this is his third biggest opening of all time, behind Rogue One and Godzilla, and for star Scarlett Johansson, it’s her ninth biggest opening, behind a slew of Marvel films and The Jungle Book. Audiences gave the movie a B CinemaScore, so word of mouth is likely pretty mixed. It’s running into Man of Steel this weekend, which is highly anticipated as the new Superman, so we’ll have to see how it holds up.
F1: The Movie dropped 55% from last weekend’s opening and made another $25.7 million domestically, taking it to $109.2 million. Worldwide, it has $293.3 million, but Jurassic World: Rebirth knocked it out of the top 10 globally for 2025, dropping it to 11th place.
How to Train Your Dragon dropped to third place with $11 million. It has grossed $224 million domestically and $519.1 million worldwide, making it the fifth-highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide.
Elio dropped another 45% and earned an additional $5.7 million, bringing its domestic total to $55 million and its worldwide total to $96.7 million. The gap between it and Elemental continues to grow, as Elemental was $34 million higher at the same point Elio is currently at, so it seems like it won’t be the sleeper hit that Elemental was.
28 Years Later rounded out the top 5, staying in fifth place with $4.6 million. It has $60.2 million domestically and $125.8 million worldwide.
M3GAN 2.0 continued to suffer, dropping a steep 62% from last weekend’s highly disappointing opening weekend, making another $3.8 million. It has $30.8 million worldwide. M3GAN was $38 million higher at the same point in its run back in 2023.
Worldwide, Lilo & Stitch has passed A Minecraft Movie, taking second place behind Ne Zha 2 with $972.7 million.
The best per-theater average went to Jurassic World: Rebirth with $21,222 in each of the 4,308 theaters it played in.
