While a ton of analysis and hot takes are dumped out on the internet regarding the current state of superhero cinema and the global box office performances of Superman and Fantastic Four: The First Steps, Universal's Jurassic World Rebirth quietly continues to hit milestone after milestone.
Back in July, the film hit the $500 million mark and just 4 weeks ago, it surpassed $700 million. Now, heading into its 9th full week of release, Jurassic World Rebirth has surpassed $850 million mark at the box office on a $333 million domestic and $517million international split.
The main stars of Jurassic World Rebirth include Scarlett Johansson, who portrays the character of Zora Bennett, and Mahershala Ali, who stars as Duncan Kincaid.
Jonathan Bailey is featured as Dr. Henry Loomis, while Rupert Friend takes on the role of Martin Krebs. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo plays Reuben Delgado, with Luna Blaise as his eldest daughter, Teresa Delgado, and Audrina Miranda as his youngest daughter, Isabella Delgado.
Other key cast members include David Iacono as Xavier Dobbs, Philippine Velge as Nina, Bechir Sylvain as Leclerc, and Ed Skrein as Bobby Atwater.
The movie is directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp.
David Leitch, known for his work on John Wick, was originally slated to direct the upcoming Jurassic World installment. However, he would eventually exit the project, citing his inability to make any significant creative contributions to the film.
According to reports, many of the film’s major plot points had already been decided by the film's producers, leaving Leitch with little room to shape the movie according to his own vision.
His departure came as the studio rushed into pre-production, eager to pivot from the mixed reception of Jurassic World Dominion.
While that film achieved massive box office success, crossing the $1 billion mark, it also received the franchise’s poorest critical reviews, prompting a reevaluation behind the scenes.
