  • In 82 overseas markets the reboot generated $171 million, lifting its global opening to $318.3 million and underscoring the franchise’s continued strength abroad.
  • Its three-day U.S. haul trails those of 2015’s Jurassic World ($208.8 million), 2018’s Fallen Kingdom ($148 million) and 2022’s Dominion ($145.1 million), highlighting diminishing domestic returns.
  • Produced for $180 million before marketing, Rebirth’s leaner budget reflects Universal’s cost-control strategy after prior installments topped $250 million in production spending.
  • Holding a 51% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film’s mixed reviews underscore the importance of long-term audience response as Universal eyes a new trilogy under director Gareth Edwards.
