Global Box Office Hits: Jurassic World Rebirth Tops $750M, Brad Pitt’s F1 Breaks Records

The summer cinematic landscape is ablaze with blockbuster triumphs, proving audiences worldwide are flocking back to theaters. Leading the charge, Universal’s Jurassic World Rebirth has roared past the $750 million milestone, while Brad Pitt’s high-octane drama F1 has raced past his personal best, setting a new record. From prehistoric giants to superheroes and animated capers, the global box office is witnessing a diverse and powerful resurgence.

Which Movies Are Dominating the Global Box Office?

The answer reveals a potent mix of franchise power and star-driven appeal. Jurassic World Rebirth, a reboot starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, continues its phenomenal run. After just five weekends, the dino-adventure has amassed a colossal $766 million globally, cementing its place among 2025’s top earners. International audiences are fueling this success significantly, contributing $448 million. Key markets include the United Kingdom & Ireland ($42M), Mexico ($34M), and Germany ($28M). While impressive, Rebirth still trails the billion-dollar heights of its Chris Pratt-led predecessors.

Simultaneously, Brad Pitt has shifted into a new gear. His Apple Studios film F1 has crossed $545 million worldwide, officially overtaking World War Z ($540M in 2013) to become his highest-grossing film ever. This victory also marks a major milestone for Apple Studios, making F1 their biggest theatrical release to date, far surpassing previous efforts like Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon. As noted by Variety, the contrasting successes of Rebirth (driven by global franchise nostalgia) and F1 (powered by star power and drama) highlight the current box office’s diverse appeal.

Superman Soars, Fantastic Four Holds Steady

DC’s iconic hero is also flying high. Superman has now surged past $550 million globally. Its strength lies primarily in North America ($316M domestic), though international returns ($235M) have been more measured compared to rival superhero franchises. Top international performances include the UK ($32M), Mexico ($21.8M), and Brazil ($15M). Crucially, this performance signals the first commercially successful DC film in years, offering renewed hope for the franchise’s cinematic future.

Marvel and Disney’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps maintains a solid grip internationally in its sophomore weekend. Adding $39.6 million from 52 overseas markets, its global total climbs to $368.7 million. The balance is notable, with $198.4M from North America and $170.3M internationally, demonstrating steady global interest in the superhero reboot.

New Contenders Enter the Race

This weekend also welcomed fresh faces to the global stage:

• The Bad Guys 2: The animated heist comedy sequel launched strongly with $44.5 million worldwide ($22.8M US, $16.3M international), tracking slightly ahead of its 2022 predecessor.
• The Naked Gun Reboot: Starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, the comedy revival debuted with $28.5 million globally ($17M North America, $11.5M from 46 international markets).

The global box office is undeniably thriving, fueled by the colossal success of Jurassic World Rebirth charging towards $800 million, Brad Pitt’s record-breaking run in F1, and Superman leading a much-needed DC resurgence. Alongside strong holds from Fantastic Four and promising starts for animated and comedy newcomers, this season showcases the enduring power and exciting diversity of theatrical entertainment.
