The Dailies

The Dailies reports on the latest box office news from this week.

Jurassic World Rebirth (Universal Pictures)

1. 🦕 Jurassic World Rebirth: 🆕 $91.5M domestic opening ($147.3M 5-day), $318.3M global debut. Universal's $180M dino reboot delivers the biggest worldwide launch of 2025 so far. Its 5-day total essentially matches previous ‘Jurassic World’ sequels' 3-day debuts ($145-148M range) despite missing IMAX screens (‘F1’ hogged them). Audiences gave it a lukewarm "B" CinemaScore.
2. 🏎️ F1: (Wk 2) $26.1M domestic weekend (-54%), $109.5M domestic total, $293.6M global. Racing drama maintains decent momentum, though the $250M budget means it has a ways to go to reach profitability.
3. 🐉 How to Train Your Dragon: (Wk 4) $11M domestic weekend (-44%), $224M domestic total, $516M global.
4. 🤖 Elio: (Wk 3) $5.7M domestic weekend (-45%), $55.1M domestic total, $96M global.
5. 🧟‍♂️ 28 Years Later: (Wk 3) $4.6M domestic weekend (-53%), $60.2M domestic total, $126M global.
6. 🌺 Lilo & Stitch: (Wk 7) $3.8M domestic weekend (-45%), $408.5M domestic total, $972.7M global. The live-action remake has officially overtaken ‘A Minecraft Movie’ to become 2025's highest-grossing Hollywood release.
7. 🤖 M3GAN 2.0: (Wk 2) $3.8M domestic weekend (-63%), $18.6M domestic total, $31M global. Steep drop for Universal and Blumhouse’s killer doll sequel.
8. 🕴️ Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning: (Wk 7) $2.7M domestic weekend (-34%), $191.2M domestic total, $576M global.
9. 👩‍❤️‍👨 Materialists: (Wk 4) $1.3M domestic weekend (-55%), $33.5M domestic total, $46M global.
10. 🎸 This is Spinal Tap: $1.1M domestic weekend. The cult classic's 40th anniversary re-release taps into nostalgia for modest returns.

The big picture: July 4th weekend pulled in a decent $155M domestically—up 17.7% from last week but basically flat with 2024's same frame. The marketplace feels surprisingly thin compared to last year's stronger holdovers like ‘Inside Out 2’ ($30M in week 4) versus this year's ‘Elio’ ($5.7M in week 3). Looking ahead, July’s almost entirely dependent on "second or third time is the charm" franchise revivals, with Hollywood betting big on nostalgia to carry the summer.
