Dinosaurs ruled the box office once again this weekend as "Jurassic World Rebirth" hauled in a strong $147.3 domestically over the five-day Fourth of July period to kick off what industry insiders hope will be an impressive month at movie theaters.

"Jurassic World" powered to $318 million globally in its first weekend while "Lilo & Stitch" is nearing $1 billion after seven weekends.

Universal/Amblin’s “Jurassic World: Rebirth” showed that there’s still some staying power in the three decade-old dinosaur franchise, beating estimates again and again as the Fourth of July weekend rolled on to earn a 5-day domestic opening of $147 million and a 6-day global launch of $318 million.
