The Universal Pictures release, directed by Gareth Edwards, opened on Wednesday and earned $147.3 million in its first five days in 4,308 North American theaters. An estimated $91.5 million of that comes from the traditional “three day” weekend, which includes the Friday holiday, Saturday and projected Sunday ticket sales.

Universal's 'Jurassic World Rebirth' opened to $30.5 million on Wednesday as it looks to dominate the July 4th holiday box office.
