Dinosaurs are ruling the box office again. “Jurassic World Rebirth,” the seventh installment in Universal’s long-running prehistoric series, stomped to $147.3 million over its first five days in 4,308 North American theaters.

Rebirth" showed that there's still some staying power in the three decade-old dinosaur franchise, beating estimates again and again as the Fourth of July weekend rolled on to earn a 5-day domestic opening of $147 million and a 6-day global launch of $318 million.

The summer tentpole opened midweek to take advantage of the long July Fourth holiday weekend. Elsewhere, Brad Pitt's 'F1: The Movie' zooms past $200 million globally.
