Universal's fourth post Covid July 4th stretch win, Jurassic World Rebirth, is looking at a $28M opening Wednesday sans Tuesday previews.

Universal’s 'Jurassic World Rebirth' exceeds expectations as Fourth of July weekend kicks off; sequel rumors begins.

David Koepp - screenwriter of the original 'Jurassic Park' - returns decades later with a new film that strives to return the franchise to its scary thrill-ride roots, and to be less, well, goofy: "I wanted to make dinosaurs special again.

Jurassic World Rebirth’ doesn’t break new ground, but it brings back a sense of purpose to a tired franchise. With fresh characters, stunning visuals, and a focused story, it feels like the dinosaurs finally have something to say again.

Director Gareth Edwards's film, Jurassic World Rebirth, presents a thrilling, visually stunning blockbuster that struggles to stand out.

Well... that would have been a very different movie. While we've seen lots of murderous dinosaurs and a giant pile of dung in the Jurassic franchise, seeing two Dinos mating has never been part of the story. After all, they were originally designed to be unable to reproduce on their own.
