Universal summer blockbuster Jurassic World Rebirth topped the UK-Ireland box office with a £9.2m opening weekend – the fourth-highest of seven Jurassic Park films to date.
Opening in 684 sites, the film took a £13,472 average. Its Friday-to-Sunday start is slightly behind the three prior Jurassic World titles, which opened to £16.8m, £10.6m and £12.1m respectively; but still represents a good figure for Universal as the third-biggest opening of 2025.
Including previews on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3, Rebirth has £12.5m in total.
Last weekend’s number one F1 dropped to second place, but still posted a strong £3.1m session for Warner Bros, down just 37% on its opening. The film, starring Brad Pitt, is up to £12.9m, and will look to push beyond £20m across its run.
Universal’s How To Train Your Dragon held on to third spot, falling just 26% on its fourth session with a £1.5m weekend. The live-action remake now has £18.2m in total, overtaking the £17.4m of the original animated film from 2010. While the £27.6m of 2014’s How To Train Your Dragon 2 may be beyond it, it should catch the £20.1m of 2019’s How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.
Sony’s 28 Years Later is proving to be one of the successes of the summer, adding £1.4m on its third weekend – a 41% drop that brings it to a strong £12.5m total. It will overtake Nosferatu (£12.9m) within the next week to become the highest-grossing horror of the year.
After a slow start, Disney animation Elio is now posting good holds, with a drop of just 10% on its third weekend. It added £691,020 as the studio’s leading title, and is up to £3m.
Takings for the top five titles increased by 50% on last weekend, hitting £15.9m – the highest mark since the release of Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning in late May. Takings are also up over 100% from the equivalent weekend last year, in the latest sign of continued box office recovery.

Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch added £476,644 on its seventh weekend in cinemas, a 12% drop that brings it to a strong £35.7m total.
Universal’s doll horror MEGAN 2.0 dropped 67% on its second weekend, with £168,778 taking it to £983,155. It will finish down on the £7.3m of the 2023 first film.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning leads Paramount’s slate, adding £168,000 on its seventh weekend for a £25.9m total – behind only Dead Reckoning Part One (£26.6m) in the franchise.
