Jurassic World Rebirthhas made it to another major box office milestone. The soft reboot movie revived theJurassic Worldseriesafter a three-year hiatus. This time, itstars Scarlett Johanssonand Jonathan Bailey as researchers looking to extract dinosaur DNA in order to help make a medical breakthrough.
The previous trilogy received mixed reviews, but were all huge box office hits.Jurassic World Dominion, for example, has just a 29% Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes, but ended up grossing over $1 billion.This put pressure onJurassic WorldRebirthto perform, especially during a busy summerthat also included multiple superhero film releases.
As perThe Numbers,Jurassic World Rebirthhas officially made it past another box office milestone,even after a long time in theaters. The film has now officially passed the $800 million mark. Comprising this total is $326.9 million domestically and $473.4 million from international markets, for a $800.3 million total.
What This Box Office Milestone Means For Jurassic World Rebirth
This milestone also comes afterJurassic World Rebirthwas released on VOD. The film became available to purchase on at-home platforms starting on Aug. 5. This development means reduced theatrical showtimes and typically lower ticket sales due to at-home availability.
The fact that it was still able to cross the $800 million mark despite its digital availability is a testament to how successfulRebirthhas been. This will likely be the last theatrical milestone the movie hits, but its lasting success also makes it likely thatthe film will see significant VOD salesand, eventually, pull strong streaming numbers.
Overall,this makesRebirtha successful entry in theJurassic Worldseries.While all three of the previous movies made over $1 billion, pulling $800 million is still fairly impressive given its competitive release window and its status as a reboot.
Our Take On Jurassic World Rebirth’s Box Office Milestone
Another thing to consider when evaluatingJurassic World Rebirth’s success is its budget.The film was made for an estimated $180 million,which, while substantial, is lower than what was reported forDominion. This gaveRebirtha little more room for profit margin. With $800 million, it has made back its money and more.
This is a good sign for the future of theJurassicfranchise. While aJurassic WorldRebirthsequel has yet to be officially announced, another installment seems fairly inevitable at this point. This most recent milestone could give the next movie the push it needs to head further towards the development phase.
