‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Nabs $148 Million to Top Box Office

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the Universal Pictures dinosaur franchise, scored the top spot in theaters over the five-day Fourth of July holiday, grossing $147.8 million in the US and Canada despite middling reviews from critics.

The figure topped estimates of as much as $140 million in sales from industry tracker Box Office Pro. Universal, a division of Comcast Corp., had forecast $127.5 million across the five-day time frame. International theaters brought in an additional $174.8 million, Universal said in a statement Monday.
