Jurassic World Rebirth keeps roaring at the world’s box-office, surpassing the $750 million milestone over the weekend.

Universal’s dinosaur tentpole, which rebooted the prehistoric series with Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, has grossed $766 million globally after five weekends of release.

It’s one of 3 Hollywood films this year — Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” ($1 billion) and Warner “A Minecraft Movie” ($955 million) are the other two — to clear the $750 million mark so far.

International audiences have been enthusiastic, with overseas revenues contributing a massive $448 million to the total bounty.

The UK and Ireland ($42 million), Mexico ($34 million) and Germany ($28 million) rank as the top-earning territories. However, the latest “Jurassic” has to keep climbing to near the heights of the prior sequel trilogy led by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, each of which grossed $1 billion globally.

uperman” also crossed a notable milestone with $550 million globally, a haul that includes $235 million overseas and $316 million domestically after four weekends. Though it’s been the first commercially successful DC film in ages, the comic book tentpole has been underperforming at the international box office. “Superman,” a patriotic adventure about a very American protagonist, has been more popular in the U.S. and Canada, which has accounted for nearly 60% of overall returns. (It’s usually the inverse for all-audience blockbusters.) So far, the biggest markets abroad have been the U.K. with $32 million, Mexico with $21.8 million and Brazil with $15 million.

Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s heist comedy “The Bad Guys 2” landed with $16.3 million from 58 territories. Those ticket sales are slightly ahead of 2022’s “The Bad Guys” in terms of like-for-like markets. Domestically, the sequel debuted to $22.8 million for a global start of $44.5 million. Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson lead the voice cast of “The Bad Guys 2,” which carries an $80 million price tag and follows the newly reformed baddies as they emerge from retirement to perform one last heist.

Another new release, Paramount’s “The Naked Gun” reboot, earned $11.5 million from 46 markets in its opening weekend. The film, starring Liam Neeson as a bumbling police detective and Pamela Anderson as his unlikely accomplice, opened to $17 million in America, bringing its worldwide tally to $28.5 million.
