Jurassic World Rebirth is out now, and despite a promising opening day at the box office, the latest film in the franchise might still perform at its worst in two decades.

What are Jurassic World Rebirth’s box office opening results?

According to recent estimations (via Deadline), Jurassic World Rebirth opened with $30.5 million on Wednesday, which points to a $133.5 million 5-day weekend for the film. While the $30.5 million opening is good and would rank it fourth-highest among the Jurassic Park franchise, it also would be the lowest the franchise has seen since its revitalization over the past 20 years.

The $30.5 million opening number is behind 2015’s Jurassic World ($81.9m), 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion ($59.5m), and 2018’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ($58.5m). The film’s 5-day projection is also trailing behind several other films in the franchise, and is also a bit behind other films that have launched on July 4 weekend, although those numbers are harder to gauge due to the holiday falling on different days every year.
