This weekend’s box office was dominated by dinosaurs, with Jurassic World: Rebirth stomping into first place with a massive $91.5 million debut. F1: The Movie held onto a strong second-place finish, while How to Train Your Dragon, Elio, and 28 Years Later filled out the top five.

Jurassic World: Rebirth Takes the Lead

Jurassic World: Rebirth opened to a towering $91.5 million, cementing its status as the box office juggernaut of the summer. The long-running franchise continues to draw in audiences with its mix of nostalgia, visual spectacle, and family-friendly appeal. With little competition in the blockbuster lane, expect Rebirth to stay dominant through the month.

F1: The Movie Cruises into Second

F1: The Movie followed closely with $26.1 million, proving there’s serious traction in motorsport-themed drama. The combination of high-speed action and sharp performances resonated with general audiences and longtime racing fans alike.

How to Train Your Dragon Keeps Flying

How to Train Your Dragon earned $11 million, showing solid staying power. In its third weekend, it continues to draw families and remains one of the season’s strongest family-friendly performers.

Elio Struggles to Gain Traction

Elio earned $5.7 million this weekend, struggling to break through despite Pixar’s pedigree. With soft word-of-mouth and muted promotional push, it may have trouble staying competitive as July progresses.

28 Years Later Hangs On

28 Years Later

28 Years Later closed out the top five with $4.6 million. While the number is below projections, the cult zombie sequel may still find life through international performance and digital platforms.

How Will Superman Do?

Superman is targeting an opening weekend between $130 million and $171 million, as excitement grows for the iconic superhero’s latest cinematic return. With limited direct competition and broad appeal across fanbases and general audiences alike, the film is well-positioned to lead the box office.

That said, some reviews seem mixed; and I expect it to open around $137 million, assuming strong turnout from both longtime fans and newcomers. If these projections hold, Superman will secure first place and continue to demonstrate the franchise’s powerful box office draw.

As always, we’ll see how the numbers shift in next week’s box office roundup.
