Jurassic World Rebirth is set to roar back onto screens this weekend, with a global opening of over $260 million predicted by Sunday. The highly anticipated reboot has already generated significant buzz, thanks in part to its star-studded cast, including Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali.
The film’s success hinges on its ability to recapture the magic of the original Jurassic Park, which grossed over $1 billion worldwide. However, critics have been divided on the film’s merits, with some calling it “awful” and others praising its positive reception in early screenings.
One thing is certain: Jurassic World Rebirth will face stiff competition from DC Studios/Warner Bros’ Superman, which opens next week. The two franchises are set to go head-to-head, with Universal aiming to capitalize on the blockbuster appeal of Jurassic Park.
The film’s opening weekend projections have been bolstered by positive word-of-mouth and a strong track record for franchise reboots in recent years. Jurassic World Rebirth is expected to open in 82 markets worldwide, including Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and Japan, which will join the fray later this year.
Universal has opted for a traditional release strategy, with the film hitting over 4,000 theaters nationwide on opening day before expanding to more screens by Friday. The studio has also unveiled extended footage at CineEurope, which has generated significant buzz among fans.
Despite some negative reviews, Jurassic World Rebirth is poised to deliver a strong opening weekend. With its talented cast and familiar IP, the film is set to attract a broad audience and potentially surpass $100 million in domestic box office earnings within its first week of release.
However, with DC Studios/Warner Bros’ Superman vying for attention, it remains to be seen whether Jurassic World Rebirth can deliver on its promise. One thing is certain: only time will tell if this reboot can roar back onto the top of the box office charts.
