The seventh installment in the action-adventure series created by Steven Spielberg opened well ahead of expectations over the long Fourth of July holiday in the U.S. - where it racked up $147.8 million - as well as overseas.

“Jurassic World” was missing from IMAX screens domestically (due to a commitment to continue showing “F1”), but it thrived on the premium large format screens where it played. One of those options was Dolby Cinema, where it made nearly $8 million from only 167 screens in five days.

Rebirth. Granted, I’ve never been one to let critics determine whether or not I’m going to see a movie, but sometimes the overall reviews a film is receiving help me figure out whether I’m going to carve out time to catch it in a theater or wait for it to come out on streaming.
