Hong Kong — Universal and Amblin Entertainment’s “Jurassic World Rebirth” kicked off its international debut with a solid performance, capturing $26 million from 38 markets on Wednesday, including early previews. This initial overseas haul, combined with $30.5 million from its domestic release, brought the global total to $56.5 million on the film’s first day.
The film will further expand its international presence, launching in 82 markets globally, with Japan set to join the lineup in August.
The international release began on Tuesday in Hong Kong, coinciding with the Special Administrative Region’s Establishment Day holiday. The movie earned $600,000 on its opening day, marking the largest single-day gross for a studio film since major hits like “Deadpool” and “Wolverine.” The film captured a commanding 44% market share, securing its position as the clear bestseller for the day.
In China, “Jurassic World Rebirth” had a noteworthy launch, bringing in $9.9 million on Wednesday, the highest single-day opening for a studio film in the market this year. The film was released on 65,000 screens, including 760 IMAX locations, giving it a remarkable 64% market share. This performance ranks behind only “Godzilla x Kong” for the biggest studio opening day since March, and stands as the second largest single-day gross for 2025 to date.
The film’s momentum continued on Thursday in China, where it added another $5.6 million, raising its local total to $15.5 million. Thus far, it maintains a leading 50% market share amid increasing competition.
“Jurassic” films have historically found success in China, with previous sequels collectively grossing nearly $650 million. The creative team, featuring director Gareth Edwards and lead actress Scarlett Johansson, recently attended a promotional event in Shanghai, an effort that has become less frequent since the pandemic. Additionally, a dedicated section for the franchise exists at the Universal Beijing Resort.
South Korea also saw a strong opening, with the film generating $1 million on Wednesday, marking the highest debut for the day this year. With an early estimate of $700,000 on Thursday, the film maintained its dominance, reaching a cumulative total of $1.7 million.
The UK and Ireland contributed an opening day total of $2.7 million, claiming 56% of the market. This performance closely mirrors that of “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” surpassing recent hits such as “Guardians of the Galaxy 3” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
In Mexico, the film garnered $2.1 million in previews, achieving a significant 67% market share. This launch surpassed comparable previews for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and aligned well with “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
Other notable openings included $1.6 million in Spain, $1.1 million in Germany, and $1.1 million in Italy, with each country achieving a clear No. 1 ranking in their respective markets. Thailand, the film’s production hub, recorded $700,000, which represented a dominating 75% market share in key cities.
As the rollout continues, Australia, Brazil, and the Netherlands are set to release the film, with France and India following suit soon. The demand for “Jurassic World Rebirth” is expected to keep growing, and further updates will emerge throughout the weekend as it expands in various international territories.
