Box Office Round-up
Jurassic World: Rebirth stomped into the top spot this weekend, opening with £12.5m, which includes £3.3m from Wednesday and Thursday previews. This is a remarkably robust franchise, with the previous film in the series, Jurassic World: Dominion, opening with £12.2m in 2022. That film finished on £35.1m, which has to be the target for this seventh film in the Jurassic series.
F1 The Movie fell to second but posted a solid hold, falling 38% to £3.1m. That takes its total after 12 days in cinemas to £12.9m and it’s now the 11th highest grossing film released in 2025, and it’s also surpassed the total of the last major F1-themed film, 2013’s Rush, which finished on £10.1m.
How To Train Your Dragon came in fourth, adding £1.5m, which is down just 26% from last weekend. That takes its total after four weekends in cinemas to £18.2m and it’s now the fifth biggest film released in 2025. The original animated film finished on £17.4m in 2010, so this new version has soared past its source material.
Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later came in fourth adding £1.4m which is down 41% from last weekend. That takes its total after three weekends in cinemas to £12.5m. In August last year, Alien Romulus, another high-profile legacy horror sequel, finished its run with £13.4m, so 28 Years Later is heading to a total comfortably north of that.
Elio rounded out the top five, posting an excellent hold, falling just 10% to £691k. That takes its total after three weekends in cinemas to £3m and there’s hopefully a bit more to come once the school holidays kick off.
Outside of the top five, Lilo & Stitch is now over £35m and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is now over £25m.
Next Weekend
Superman is the latest outing for the most famous superhero of all (arguably). David Corenswet is Clark Kent / Superman and Rachel Brosnahan is Lois Lane.
The Buzz
The Running Man is the latest film from British filmmaker Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver). It stars Glen Powell as a desperate man who joins a game show where contestants, allowed to go anywhere in the world, are pursued by "hunters" hired to kill them. More of an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, than a remake of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action film, this is one of the standout films of ABC1 men in Q4.
Across The Pond
On the July 4th holiday weekend, Jurassic World: Rebirth opened on Wednesday and landed in the top spot with a five-day total of $147.3m. F1 The Movie fell to second, adding $26.1m for a new total of $109.5m. How To Train Your Dragon fell to third, adding $11m, down 44% from last weekend, which takes its total to $224m. Elio added $5.7m in fourth for a new total of $55.1m. 28 Years Later rounded out the top five, adding $4.6m for a new total of $60.2m.
