Jurassic World Rebirth’s early release strategy—opening on Wednesday with a full release on Thursday—may have facilitated a higher initial tally. Yet, when comparing Friday through Sunday, Rebirth’s daily figures lag slightly behind past entries:
- Friday: $41 million (vs. $59 million for Dominion)
