Jurassic World Rebirth Roars to Life with $312.5 Million Global Box Office Smash
Originally forecast to open around $260 million worldwide, Jurassic World Rebirth crushed those estimates with an explosive launch. The film earned approximately $141.2 million domestically and $171.3 million internationally, according to a Deadline report. These numbers place it ahead of major competitors and mark one of the strongest franchise comebacks in recent memory.
The domestic market responded strongly despite mid-week openings. The movie launched in North America on a Wednesday with $30.5 million, followed by $25.3 million on Thursday. Over the five-day period, it amassed around $133 million, becoming one of the summer's biggest box office draws.
China played a significant role in the film's global success. Jurassic World Rebirth debuted in the country with a staggering $9.9 million on opening day, commanding over 50% of the total market share. It ultimately grossed $33.7 million during its first weekend, making it the year's biggest studio opening in China so far.
The film's success in China signals strong audience engagement, especially when compared to recent Hollywood releases that struggled to connect with local viewers.
In India, Jurassic World Rebirth delivered an impressive performance, grossing between ₹9 crore and ₹9.25 crore ($1.1–1.3 million) on its opening day. That made it the second-highest Hollywood opening in India in 2025, trailing only Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning.
On Day 2, the film added another ₹2.84 crore, bringing the cumulative total to ₹11.84 crore. Given the crowded release calendar, these numbers are remarkable and point to continued traction in the Indian market.
South Korea contributed significantly, bringing in $2.4 million on Saturday alone and totaling $5.1 million over the weekend. Rebirth claimed the top box office position in the country for three consecutive days.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom and Ireland posted a combined $7.5 million, representing 50% of the total weekend market share and outperforming competitors like F1 The Movie. In France, the film launched with $1.8 million, placing second only to Lilo & Stitch for the year.
In Mexico, Rebirth pulled in $2.2 million on Friday alone, reaching $6.5 million by Sunday. The film opened at No. 1 in nearly every Latin American market. European territories like Spain, Italy, Germany, and Poland also delivered impressive returns, helping boost the international tally.
The film was particularly dominant in markets such as Thailand (76% share), Poland (42%), and the UAE (40%), solidifying its global appeal. In Taiwan, it even outperformed the entire lifetime gross of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, demonstrating strong franchise loyalty.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, known for Rogue One and Godzilla, Jurassic World Rebirth successfully blends new storytelling with the classic tone of Spielberg's original films. Edwards shot several sequences on 35mm film, adding a nostalgic texture that fans have widely praised.
The cast features Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, who deliver performances that resonate with audiences across age groups. Their dynamic adds emotional depth to the film's thrilling dinosaur action and gripping narrative.
Unlike Dominion, which concluded the previous trilogy, Jurassic World Rebirth serves as a franchise reboot. It introduces a fresh plot centered on a dinosaur rescue mission and a race to develop a life-saving drug. Critics and fans alike have responded positively to this new direction, which moves away from the militarization and cloning themes of the earlier films.
With more grounded storytelling, richer character development, and stunning visuals, the film is drawing in both longtime fans and new viewers.
Positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth have helped the film maintain momentum despite a competitive summer movie landscape. With limited blockbuster competition in the coming week, Jurassic World Rebirth is expected to continue performing strongly in its second weekend.
Industry analysts project a solid hold in the 40–50% drop range, which would place the film firmly on track for a potential $650–700 million global run if trends continue.

Nicole Kidman Shares First Behind-the-Scenes Look With Sandra Bullock for 'Practical Magic 2'
The witchy 1998 classic Practical Magic starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock is getting a part two. The leading ladies are 'in negotiations' to come back as their characters, sister witches Sally (Bullock) and Gillian (Kidman), according to Deadline. In June 2024, the official Warner Bros. Pictures Instagram account confirmed plans for the film's sequel. The brand shared a series of memes made with scenes from the original movie, starting the carousel with a clip of Sally running and jumping into Michael's (Mark Feuerstein) arms for a kiss. In May 2025, Warner Bros. confirmed a Sept. 18, 2026 release date for the film. 'It's official! Practical Magic 2 is in development and coming soon. 🌟🧙♀️,' Warner Bros. captioned the post. Warner Bros. also shared the news on TikTok, posting a video of Sally and Gillian dancing and sipping their midnight margaritas. 'Me and the girls finding out Practical Magic 2 is happening,' the text read. On June 13, 2024, Kidman confirmed to People that she and Bullock will be returning as the sisters. She told the publication with a laugh, 'Yes I will be in it. And Sandy will be in it. And that's that. There's a lot more to tell which is why we go, "OK, this is kind of interesting now to be able to do this."' '[We] found a way in,' she quipped. In July 2025, Evan Rachel Wood cleared up rumors about a potential return as Kylie Owens, saying in her Instagram Stories that she would not be in the sequel. 'I am getting asked about this a lot, so I'll just clear it up now,' she wrote. 'I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagic sequel.' Woods says she reached out to express interest in returning, but was not offered a role. 'I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line,' she continued. 'I was told they are recasting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.' The original Practical Magic follows sisters Sally and Gillian Owens who were orphaned as kids and raised by their aunts Francis (Stockard Channing) and Jet (Dianne Wiest), who teach them the ways of witchcraft. But a curse placed on their bloodline, which causes any man that an Owens woman loves to die, causes Sally and Gillian swear off magic in their adult lives. However, some sticky situations lead the sisters right back to casting spells in order to save their lives. The film is based on the same-name book by Alice Hoffman. Details on the next film's plot and cast are still mostly under wraps. On January 24, 2025, Deadline reported that Oscar winner Susanne Bier was in negotiations to direct. Bier is a favorite of both the stars, who have worked with her on various other projects: Bier directed Bullock in Netflix's Bird Box, and Kidman for the series The Undoing and miniseries The Perfect Couple. Yes! On July 18, Kidman shared a clip from behind-the-scenes on set. In the brief moment, she and Bullock are standing by a fake grave in maxi dresses, with Kidman wearing her iconic strawberry blonde wig from the film. They embrace and smile, even after the scene appears to end. 'The witches are back,' Kidman wrote in the caption. 'Owens sisters' first day on set!'

Tom Troupe, prolific star of the stage and screen, is dead at 97
Theater and television actor Tom Troupe has died at 97. Troupe died Sunday morning of natural causes in his home in Beverly Hills, according to his publicist, Harlan Boll. Known for his extensive career in theater and TV, Troupe made his Broadway debut in 1957 playing Peter van Daan in 'The Diary of Anne Frank.' A year later, he moved to Los Angeles and appeared in more than 75 TV series over the course of his career, including 'Mission: Impossible,' 'Star Trek,' 'Planet of the Apes,' 'CHiPs,' 'Quincy M.E.' and 'Who's the Boss.' However, he continued to act in stage productions, appearing in 'The Lion in Winter,' 'Fathers Day' and 'The Gin Game,' all three of which also co-starred his wife, actor Carole Cook. He also starred in a single-character play he co-wrote called 'The Diary of a Madman.' Troupe also had roles in several films, including 1991's 'My Own Private Idaho,' starring Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix; 1970's 'Kelly's Heroes,' which starred Clint Eastwood and Don Rickles; and 1959's 'The Big Fisherman.' He and Cook were awarded the L.A. Ovation Award for Career Achievement in 2002 because of their extensive stage work over the years in Los Angeles. Born in Kansas City, Mo., on July 15, 1928, Troupe got his start acting in local theater productions before he moved to New York City in 1948. He won a scholarship to train with stage actor and theater instructor Uta Hagen at the Herbert Berghof Studio in Manhattan before he went to fight in the Korean War, where he was awarded a Bronze Star. After the war, he returned to New York to act on the stage. Troupe married Cook in 1964. The actor, who was known for her roles in 'Sixteen Candles' and Lucille Ball's 'The Lucy Show,' died in 2023 at the age of 98. Troupe is survived by his son, Christopher, daughter-in-law Becky Coulter, granddaughter Ashley Troupe and several nieces and nephews.
