Universal’s new Jurassic World film, Rebirth, had a strong start at the box office despite negative reviews in its first week of release. The film grossed $141 million in the US and reached $312.5 million worldwide before the week was even over. These figures made Rebirth one of the best-opening films of recent times.
Jurassic World Rebirth had a good opening
Although only three years had passed since the previous film in the series, Dominion, Universal had decided to reset the story. This decision was met with surprise both in film circles and among viewers when it was announced.

However, the picture that emerged shows that this decision was commercially rewarded. The number of viewers who filled theaters despite negative reviews showed that the studio’s strategy was working.
Expectations for a sequel have already been on the agenda. In surveys conducted after the screening, 86 percent of viewers stated that they would consider watching a sequel in the cinema if it were made. This rate shows that the interest Rebirth has managed to create is not limited to curiosity, but also creates a sense of commitment in the audience. In light of this data, Universal is expected to start preparations for a new project.
The story of Rebirth takes place five years after the events of Dominion. In that film, most of the dinosaurs that spread around the world have perished, while some have managed to survive. The new film tells the story of a scientific team that is hunting down three giant dinosaurs that have survived.
It is stated that some elements in the DNA of these three dinosaurs can be used in the development of a groundbreaking drug for humanity. This motivation gives the film a new direction in terms of both action and science fiction.
The director is Gareth Edwards, who is previously known for projects such as Godzilla and The Creator. The cast includes well-known names such as Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend. The presence of these names has contributed to the production reaching a wider audience in global markets.
Jurassic World Rebirth’s first week performance shows that it has received a strong response at the box office, regardless of the criticism. If audience interest continues, the door to a new era will open for the series.
