📽️ Jurassic World Rebirth Roars to $318M Globally While Lilo & Stitch Inches Toward the $1B Club | Hollywood's Box Office Roundup

It’s a wild weekend at the global box office, and if you're a fan of dinosaurs, race cars, blue aliens, or animated astronauts, you're in for a cinematic treat. From Universal’s dino-sized comeback with “Jurassic World Rebirth” to Disney’s near-billion-dollar success with “Lilo & Stitch,” and even Brad Pitt making waves on the F1 track, Hollywood is proving it still has plenty of horsepower — and maybe a few surprises left.

So buckle up, movie lovers! We’re diving into the top box office stories that are making headlines, setting records, and dominating conversations across theaters in the U.S. and around the world.

🦖 Jurassic World Rebirth: New Era, New DNA, Same Roar

Dinosaurs are back, and they’re hungrier than ever. Universal’s latest entry in its iconic dino franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth, just chomped into a staggering $318 million global total after its first weekend — and that’s no small bite.

🔍 What’s the Story?

Directed by Gareth Edwards (of Rogue One fame) and written by David Koepp — yes, the same guy who penned the original 1993 Jurassic Park — “Rebirth” attempts something bold. Gone is Chris Pratt’s raptor-whisperer and Bryce Dallas Howard’s high heels-in-the-jungle character. Instead, we have an entirely new ensemble featuring:

  • Scarlett Johansson as a molecular biologist with a hidden past
  • Jonathan Bailey as a CIA agent turned conservationist
  • Mahershala Ali as a morally conflicted pharma CEO

This isn’t just another dino escape movie. The plot centers around a covert mission to retrieve dinosaur DNA — not to clone raptors again, but to develop a miracle drug that could revolutionize medicine. Think Mission: Impossible meets Jurassic Park — with a healthy dose of ethical gray areas and prehistoric chaos.

💸 The Numbers Game

  • Domestic haul: $147 million
  • International: $171 million across 82 markets
  • Total worldwide: $318 million in just 5 days

Not bad for a franchise that’s rebooting itself yet again.

But let’s be real — while the U.S. numbers are slightly lower than previous entries (thanks, summer competition), the international box office is where Rebirth is truly flexing its claws.

🌍 Global Highlights:

  • China: $41 million — still the biggest international dinosaur fanbase
  • U.K. & Ireland: $16.6 million
  • Mexico: $13.9 million
  • Germany: $7.6 million

The global appetite for dinosaur mayhem is still alive and well — especially when the stakes are higher than just surviving a T-Rex chase.

🏎️ F1: The Movie – Brad Pitt Races Ahead, But Will He Cross the Finish Line?

Second place this week isn’t bad when you're competing against 65-million-year-old lizards.

Apple and Warner Bros. teamed up for the high-octane racing drama F1: The Movie, starring the ever-ageless Brad Pitt as a former Formula One legend attempting a comeback in the sport’s most brutal era.

After two weekends, the film has sped its way to:

  • International total: $184 million
  • Global total: $293 million

It’s a solid performance for an original, adult-oriented action drama — a genre that has struggled in recent years outside of franchise IPs.

But here’s the kicker: F1 reportedly cost $250 million to produce, making it one of the most expensive non-franchise films in recent memory.

The question now isn’t whether people will see it — clearly they are — but whether it can recoup its massive budget. Strong word-of-mouth, awards buzz (because Pitt is actually doing some of the driving himself), and future streaming numbers will be key to its long-term victory lap.

🧸 Lilo & Stitch: Disney’s Lovable Alien Crushes the Box Office

If you told us ten years ago that Lilo & Stitch would one day be Disney’s crown jewel remake, we might’ve laughed. But here we are, and the live-action reimagining of the 2002 cult classic is crushing it at the box office.

🌟 The Big Picture:

  • Domestic gross: Over $408 million
  • International: $564.2 million
  • Global total: $972.7 million

Yes, you read that right — Stitch is just $27 million away from joining the billion-dollar club, and it might happen within days.

That milestone would make Lilo & Stitch:

  • The highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2025 so far
  • A bigger hit than The Minecraft Movie ($954 million)
  • A box office juggernaut few saw coming

The live-action take is packed with charm, heart, and surprisingly powerful performances — not to mention gorgeous Hawaiian backdrops and a more modern take on the family themes that made the original so beloved.

And here’s the wildest part: the movie had no big-name cast, proving once again that emotional storytelling + nostalgia + Disney = money printer.

🌌 Elio Crashes Hard — Pixar’s Space Mission Doesn’t Take Off

While Disney is riding high with Lilo & Stitch, Pixar’s latest original film Elio isn’t enjoying the same luck. In fact, it’s in freefall.

Despite getting decent reviews and positive audience reactions, the animated sci-fi adventure has made:

  • Only $41.7 million overseas
  • Just $96.8 million worldwide after three weekends

That’s far below Pixar’s typical performance, and analysts are scratching their heads. What went wrong?

🧠 A Few Theories:

  1. Too original? Without brand recognition or big stars, Elio struggled to stand out.
  2. Confusing marketing? Trailers failed to clearly communicate the story — a young boy mistakenly abducted by aliens and mistaken for Earth’s leader.
  3. Family fatigue? After a wave of live-action remakes and streaming debuts, families may be pickier about what they see in theaters.

Either way, Elio’s poor turnout is a warning sign for original animation — a genre that’s always been a Pixar strength.

🇨🇳 The Undisputed Champ: China’s Ne Zha 2 Still King of 2025

Let’s not forget that while Hollywood films are battling it out in the global ring, one title continues to dominate without much buzz in the U.S.

China’s animated epic Ne Zha 2 has pulled in a jaw-dropping:

  • $1.8 billion and counting

That’s nearly double what Lilo & Stitch has made globally — and makes Ne Zha 2 the highest-grossing film worldwide in 2025 by a long shot.

Although it hasn’t received a U.S. release yet, its success signals the growing power of Chinese cinema and the shifting dynamics of the global box office.

🔮 Final Take: What This Means for Hollywood in 2025

As we head deeper into the summer movie season, this weekend’s box office results reveal a few clear trends:

🎬 1. Franchises Still Dominate — But Need Fresh Angles

Jurassic World Rebirth proved that legacy franchises still pack a punch — if you give audiences a new reason to care. Fresh cast, intriguing plot twists, and real stakes made the reboot feel like more than just a rehash.

🚗 2. Star Power Can Still Open Movies

Brad Pitt is still a box office draw, especially in a well-crafted, big-budget drama like F1: The Movie. However, even A-listers can't escape budget expectations.

👽 3. Nostalgia + Heart = Disney’s Winning Formula

Lilo & Stitch shows Disney has struck gold by remixing its animated past with live-action emotion. But the market is clearly telling the studio: don’t mess with the formula too much.

🌠 4. Original Animation is Struggling

Despite Pixar’s prestige, Elio didn’t find its audience — a worrying sign that even creative studios need stronger hooks or built-in IP to thrive theatrically.

🐉 5. Global Audiences are Driving the Conversation

From China’s dominance to Europe’s consistent turnout, Hollywood studios must continue thinking globally — because it’s the international box office that’s often keeping these mega-budget blockbusters afloat.

🎥 What’s Next at the Movies?

  • Deadpool & Wolverine is gearing up to explode onto the scene later this summer
  • Inside Out 2 is showing signs of being another Pixar comeback story
  • And indie darlings like A24’s Love Lies Bleeding and Blitz Bazawule’s The Color Purple are generating awards buzz

It’s a thrilling time for movie lovers. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the action, or just to see what the fuss is all about — the summer of 2025 has something for everyone.

So grab your popcorn, pick your seat, and get ready — the box office battle is far from over.
