Universal/Amblin Entertainment’s Jurassic World Rebirth delivered a strong overseas start on Wednesday with $26M from 38 international box office markets, including some previews. Combined with domestic’s $30.5M Wednesday, the global running total is $56.5M through Day 1.
In total, JWR will be out in 82 offshore markets this weekend, with Japan joining in August.
International rollout began on Tuesday in Hong Kong to capitalize on the Special Administrative Region Establishment Day holiday, coming in with $600K — the single biggest day for a studio title since Deadpool & Wolverine‘s first Saturday and the biggest MPA opening of the year to date. The Scarlett Johansson starrer ranked as a clear No. 1 for the day, with a 44% market share.
On Wednesday, China delivered the biggest launch day for a studio movie in the market this year at $9.9M. Opening on 65,000 screens in the market, including 760 Imax, the Gareth Edwards-directed adventure took a massive 64% share at No. 1. This is also the biggest studio opening day since Godzilla x Kong’s Friday debut in March 2024 and the second-biggest MPA single-day gross of 2025, only behind Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning‘s first Sunday, which fell during the Dragon Boat Festival national holidays at release.

On Thursday, China added a further $5.6M (not included in the offshore/global totals above), reaching $15.5M so far and continuing to dominate in a competitive market with a 50% market share at No. 1.
The Jurassic movies have been popular in China, with the recent titles grossing nearly $650M combined (unadjusted). The Rebirth team including Edwards, Johansson, Rupert Friend and Jonathan Bailey visited Shanghai for a premiere last Sunday — a promotional move that’s become far less frequent since the pandemic. Jurassic also has a dedicated section at the Universal Beijing Resort.
Meanwhile, Korea also opened yesterday, scoring the biggest Wednesday debut of the year at $1M and the second-biggest non-holiday opening day of 2025 after Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17. The market grossed another $700K today (early estimate, not included in overall international and global totals above) and still a clear No. 1 with $1.7M through today.

The performance is just off Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom‘s opening Wednesday, above Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and above Spider-Man: Homecoming. Relative to other 2025 tentpoles, this is more than double Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning and 72% above F1.
Mexico debuted to $2.1M in wide Wednesday previews, taking a 67% market share for the day. Comparing to like-for-like wide Wednesday previews, this is above Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and aligned with Thor: Love and Thunder.
Spain grossed $1.6M on Wednesday at a clear No. 1 with a 41% share. The launch is the second-best opening day for any installment of the Jurassic World saga: above Fallen Kingdom and Dominion and just below Jurassic World, which opened on a standard Friday. This result also was the highest-grossing Wednesday of the year and the third-highest-grossing day of 2025 (only behind Lilo & Stitch and A Minecraft Movie).
Germany grossed $1.1M on Wednesday, taking a 52% market share at No.1, on what was the hottest day of the year so far. This is the biggest opening day of 2025, ahead of Lilo and Minecraft.
Italy also is off to a $1.1M start from Wednesday previews at a huge 60% market share for the day. Compared to standard Thursday openings for Jurassic titles, this is above Fallen Kingdom and in-line with Jurassic World.

Taiwan grossed $600K on Wednesday, marking the biggest opening day of 2025, and accounting for 50% of the market at No. 1.
Indonesia opened on Wednesday at No. 1 to $600K, best of the year so far in the market and the second-biggest opening day of the Jurassic franchise, coming in above Dominion and Jurassic World and just below Fallen Kingdom. This also is Universal’s second-biggest opening of the past five years, only behind Fast X.
As for other early Thursday results not included in the international and global totals above, Australia grossed $1.2M on opening day with JWR ranking as a clear No. 1 with a 54% share of the Top 10. This is the biggest opening day of 2025, surpassing Minecraft.
Malaysia entered the fray with $400K, the biggest non-holiday opening day for an MPA title this year, more than double Lilo & Stitch and 48% above Minecraft.
Other major Thursday openers include Brazil and Netherlands, while France and India join on Friday.
