Overview

• Jurassic World Rebirth has earned $318.3 million worldwide on a $180 million budget and received mixed-to-positive reviews for its horror-driven CGI and nostalgic nods.
• Edwards credits Spielberg’s counsel—telling him to leave audiences wanting more—with informing the film’s pacing and emphasis on surprise.
• He reflects that crafting 2010’s Monsters on a $500,000 budget taught him to use grounded visual effects to heighten monster-movie tension.
• The reboot is the first Jurassic installment since 1993’s original to rely solely on CGI, abandoning franchise animatronics and puppets.
• Spielberg’s backing gave Edwards extra leverage with Universal Pictures to secure key creative choices during production.
