Box Office: 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Roars With $25.3 Million on Thursday
Directed by Gareth Edwards and written by original 'Jurassic Park' screenwriter David Koepp, 'Jurassic World Rebirth' reboots the long-running sci-fi franchise with an entirely new cast and mission (this film revolves around a top-secret quest to retrieve the DNA of dinosaurs to create a miracle drug). Although the newest installment is experiencing a slight case of diminishing initial returns in North America, the series remains hugely popular at the international box office. (Overseas audiences were key in propelling the preceding 'Jurassic World' trilogy, led by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, past the billion-dollar mark.) For 'Rebirth,' top-earning territories so far include China with $41 million, the United Kingdom and Ireland with $16.6 million, Mexico with $13.9 million and Germany with $7.6 million.
In second place on international box office charts, Apple's 'F1: The Movie' collected $56.3 million from 78 markets in its sophomore outing. The racing drama, starring Brad Pitt as a has-been Formula One driver, has collected $184 million overseas and $293 million worldwide to date. Those are strong ticket sales for an original, adult-skewing tentpole. But the $250 million-budgeted 'F1' will require many laps around the track to justify its massive price tag.
In other box office news, Disney's 'Lilo & Stitch' is inching closer and closer to the billion-dollar milestone. So far the live-action remake has grossed $564.2 million internationally and $972.7 million globally after seven weekends of release. With those ticket sales, 'Lilo & Stitch' has officially overtaken 'A Minecraft Movie' ($954 million) as the year's highest-grossing Hollywood release. However, China's blockbuster 'Ne Zha 2' remains by far the biggest film of 2025 with $1.8 billion in the bank.
Meanwhile, another family-friendly Disney property, Pixar's intergalactic adventure 'Elio,' continues to crater with $41.7 million overseas and $96.8 million worldwide after three weekends of release. This dismal turnout, despite decent reviews and audience scores, signals that original animation is facing dire straits at the box office.

032c Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Maria Koch has been on a health kick. She's not alone—everywhere you look these days there's a wellness tip awaiting. 'I feel like I'm the last to the party, but I'm so into a healthy body right now,' she said, calling in from Berlin, 'not as in skinny, but strong.' Koch put a protein tracker on her phone, and she said she feels and looks much better. Which explains the hoodie emblazoned with the word 'Protein' across its chest. 'I think it's a cultural thing right now, the need to feel strong,' she said, 'perhaps because of the environment and everything that is happening.' Koch titled her collection 'I would prefer not to.' Not to what, exactly? It's a phrase that applies to anything from exercising to reading the news, and speaks to the privilege of being able to opt out. Koch also selected an epigraph, written by Herman Melville for his 1853 short story 'Bartleby, the Scrivener': 'Nothing so aggravates an earnest person as a passive resistance.' In the story, a Wall Street lawyer hires a scrivener, Bartleby, who is initially hyper-productive but eventually refuses to make any copies, replying to any request with 'I would prefer not to.' Bartleby's is a sorrowful story about refusal and choice, yes, but also about the prison of productivity. Koch said that she was fascinated by the idea of going against the grain of fashion—constant novelty at breakneck speed. Because she would prefer not to, Koch opted out of doing a show this season, explaining that 032c—editorial operation included—is going through some change and restructuring, so it made sense to step back. The collection models a similar kind of restraint; a lineup of 032 basics, it includes cool leather separates, workwear, and some proper tailoring, a category that's looking better and more identifiable each season here.

JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH Stomps to $147 Million Over July Fourth Weekend, but Can It Carry a New Trilogy? — GeekTyrant
Universal's Jurassic World Rebirth opened to $147.3 million domestically over its first five days, easily dominating the Fourth of July box office. Playing in 4,308 North American theaters, the film's $91.5 million traditional weekend haul put it comfortably in first place. While the numbers are solid, they do mark a noticeable decline from previous entries in the 32-year-old franchise. For comparison, 2015's Jurassic World stomped out of the gate with a massive $208 million debut weekend. Its sequels, Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Dominion (2022), pulled $148 million and $145 million, respectively, during their three-day openings. In five-day totals, the new film lags even further behind: Jurassic World hit $258 million, Fallen Kingdom brought in $181 million, and Dominion reached $172 million. Rebirth's drop reflects the wear and tear of a franchise that's been through a lot of evolutionary cycles since Jurassic Park first roared onto screens in 1993. Still, Universal was smart to rein in costs this time. While the previous World films carried price tags close to $250 million, Rebirth was made for a relatively modest $180 million (not including marketing). That number makes profitability more attainable, even if this installment doesn't crack the billion-dollar mark like its predecessors. Universal is hoping this latest entry, which features Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, will kick off a brand-new trilogy. The global response so far supports that hope. Overseas, Jurassic World Rebirth pulled in a thunderous $171 million across 82 markets, bringing its worldwide debut to $318 million. As David A. Gross of FranchiseRe puts it, 'The series has been especially good overseas and, so far, foreign business is outstanding. Dinosaur action is understood in all languages and across all cultures.' Directed by Rogue One 's Gareth Edwards and written by Jurassic Park 's original screenwriter David Koepp, Rebirth shifts the formula with a tighter focus. The plot follows a covert mission tied to dinosaur DNA and its potential as a wonder drug. It's a slightly more grounded, espionage-flavored take, but still packed with teeth and spectacle. Critically, it's faring better than the Chris Pratt-led trilogy. Word-of-mouth seems to be helping, with Universal's president of domestic distribution Jim Orr stating: ' Jurassic World Rebirth is exactly what audiences want to see in a summer blockbuster: a great cast, great direction and great visuals. Word of mouth is phenomenal, which points to a great run throughout the summer.' The film didn't face much competition. Its biggest rival was F1 , Brad Pitt's racing thriller, which skidded into second place with $26.1 million in its second weekend, which is a 54% dip. Still, that brings its North American total to $109 million and $293.6 million globally, making it Apple's highest-grossing theatrical release to date. In third, Universal's live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake added $9.7 million, bringing its worldwide total to $516 million. Pixar's Elio took fourth with $4.9 million, though with a global total of $96 million, it's on track to be one of Pixar's lowest-grossing films. Rounding out the top five , 28 Years Later dropped 64% to earn $4.6 million, pushing its global haul to $125.8 million. Meanwhile, Disney's Lilo & Stitch remake is quietly becoming a monster hit, nearing the $1 billion milestone with $972 million worldwide. Naturally, a sequel is already in development. After a strong Fourth of July stretch, the 2025 box office is now tracking 14% ahead of last year, though it's still over 25% shy of pre-pandemic levels in 2019. As Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian noted, 'With the Fourth of July holiday floating around the calendar, apples-to-apples comparisons become a bit difficult, [but] this will be one of the better Independence Day frames for cinemas. The combination of films in this theatrical marketplace is impressive.' Jurassic World Rebirth may not be a record-breaker, but it's clearly alive and kicking. Now the real question is: can it keep the momentum going? I loved Rebirth, so I'm looking forward to see what come next in the franchise. Via: Variety

This Viral, At-Home Fitness Test Claims to Predict Longevity—but There's a Catch
Dimensions/Getty Images New blood tests, scans, and fitness trackers that purport to predict longevity are rolling out all the time, but if you've scrolled TikTok recently, you might be surprised to see a much lower-tech way getting some buzz: how well you fare in simply trying to haul your butt off the floor. It's all based on the takeaway from a study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology that's been making the rounds. In it, researchers had more than 4,000 people do something they dubbed the 'sitting-rising' test and then followed up with them for over a decade. They found a link between how easily people were able to get up off the floor and how long they lived. The task sounds simple, but, as I learned firsthand, it's really not. To get a perfect score on the test, you need to be able to get from a position on the floor—usually cross-legged—to standing without using a hand, elbow, or knee to help. As a former competitive athlete who can't say no to a challenge, I needed to try this (and gain a perfect score) once it came across my FYP. To my surprise, it was hard. While I was able to get it done, I had to give myself a mental pep talk before each attempt. Pulling this test off is trickier than it sounds—it requires a combination of strength, balance, and flexibility, and I struggle to even touch my toes. So that made me wonder: How legit is it, really, in predicting your, um, ultimate demise? Does bombing the test mean you're going to keel over any second? I checked in with longevity experts and fitness pros to find out. One of the benefits of the sitting-rising test is you can do it right at home: Sit on the floor with your legs crossed in front of you and then try to get back up unassisted. The goal is to do this with as little support as possible, test inventor and lead study author Claudio Gil S Araújo, MD, a sports and exercise physician from the Exercise Medicine Clinic Clinimex in Rio de Janeiro, tells SELF. (Check out this handy YouTube video Dr. Araújo and his fellow researchers created to break it down in more detail.) The test is scored from zero to 10, with points assigned for sitting and rising added together. You'll be docked a point for each knee, hand, or forearm you use during the test, along with half-points if you're unsteady (say, you stumble when you get up). 'If you're an eight, why did you lose a point? It may mean that you used one hand to sit and one hand to rise,' Dr. Araújo says. In the study, the researchers discovered a link between how well people scored on the test and their risk of dying during a follow-up of about 12 years. In all, about 16% of the participants died during that period—but only 4% of folks who aced the test with a perfect 10 did so. (On the other end of the spectrum, people who got a four or less had a death rate of 42% during that time.) Okay, but…why? The test measures a few different things that are linked to better health and longevity, study co-author Jonathan Myers, PhD, a clinical professor at Stanford University and a health research scientist at the Palo Alto VA Health Care System, tells SELF. 'When we think of 'fitness,' people usually think of 'aerobic' or cardiorespiratory fitness,' he says. 'Over the last three decades or so, cardiorespiratory fitness has become recognized as a powerful predictor of health outcomes—in many studies, it is even more powerful than the traditional risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, or [high cholesterol].' Cardiorespiratory fitness is important, sure—it's considered a strong indicator of overall health, along with being linked to a lower risk of developing certain diseases. But fitness is more broad than that, and includes things like strength and balance, Dr. Myers says. Strength has been shown to help with daily living (think: being able to carry your own groceries), while balance helps to protect against falls, Dr. Araújo explains. These skills are important for longevity, and they're something that Hannah Koch, PT, DPT, physical therapist at Michigan State University Health Care, tells SELF she checks with older patients, along with their range of motion. The sitting-rising test looks at strength, power, and balance, all in one move. So basically, you're getting more bang for your buck, looking at all of these factors at once. Added bonus: It can also give some insight on your cardiovascular health, Jennifer Wong, MD, cardiologist and medical director of Non-Invasive Cardiology at MemorialCare Heart and Vascular Institute at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California, tells SELF. 'One could not do this after certain types of strokes or if too weak from poor overall health,' she adds. While the test is predictive, it's by no means perfect: There are some flaws with it. 'The test does not identify the underlying cause of poor performance,' Anna A. Manns, PT, DPT, lead physical therapist at University Hospital in New Jersey, tells SELF. Meaning, it can't tell if you struggle with getting up due to joint pain, an injury, or the fact that you went hard at the gym yesterday—and those factors don't necessarily have an impact on your longevity. It's also possible to game the test, say, by 'compensating with upper-body movement or momentum by using arm swings or trunk movement to 'cheat' the test,' Dr. Mann says, which would 'mask true lower-limb weakness.' The test also only looks at lower-body function and core strength, so it doesn't gauge your overall fitness, upper-body strength or endurance, 'all of which are important for full functional capacity,' she adds. While the sitting-rising test has a link with longevity, there are plenty of others that healthcare providers use regularly. Simple hand-grip tests, which measure grip strength, are a 'powerful predictor of mortality,' Dr. Myers says. Case in point: A 2015 study published in The Lancet found that grip strength was better at predicting someone's odds of dying from heart disease or other causes during the follow-up than systolic blood pressure, which is usually used to gauge cardiovascular health. Balance tests, like the ability to stand on one leg for 10 seconds or longer, can also be helpful, Dr. Myers says. Koch also flags the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (5TSTS) as a useful way to check a person's lower-body strength and balance. It's similar to the sitting-rising test, but has people get up from a chair versus the floor five different times. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, which has people get up from a chair, walk a short distance, turn around, walk back, and sit back down while being timed, is useful too, says Manns. 'Together, these tests provide a patient picture of overall physical function and longevity,' Manns says. That said, they're still only a part of the overall picture of your health. There's no reason to get down on yourself if you don't do well on the sitting-rising test—not getting a perfect 10 on the sitting-rising test certainly doesn't mean you're doomed. But it could clue you in on areas of fitness to work on, Dr. Araújo says. That may mean working on balance training, flexibility, or building power. 'This helps a lot to get people motivated,' Dr. Araújo says. Dr. Myers agrees that your mobility, strength, flexibility, and balance can usually be improved with practice and training. 'Individuals who don't perform well on these tests can improve their performance by strengthening lower body muscles, and specific exercises can be targeted to improve flexibility, balance, gait, and mobility,' he says. Albert Matheny, CSCS, cofounder of SoHo Strength Lab, suggests focusing on things like squats, single-leg exercises like lunges, and even balancing on one leg to hit these areas. It's also important to remember that these tests are only part of the puzzle: There are a bunch of health-promoting behaviors out there that have nothing to do with how well you can get up off the floor—or even how well you move in general. While physical activity is important, other things, like eating a high-quality diet, minimizing stress, getting plenty of sleep, and adopting other healthy lifestyle habits like avoiding smoking and minimizing alcohol, also come in handy. Together, these can help you be your healthiest self. 'The sitting-rising test is a good screening tool,' Dr. Araújo says. 'There's a lot we can do to move forward after that.'
