The dinosaur-filled action is roaring back into theaters this summer with Jurassic World Rebirth, and fans now have a key piece of information ahead of its release—its runtime. Scheduled to hit theaters on July 2, 2025, the seventh film in the long-running Jurassic franchise clocks in at 2 hours and 14 minutes, making it the second-longest installment to date.
A Runtime That Stays True to Franchise Trends
According to listings on both AMC Theatres and Regal, Jurassic World Rebirth’s 134-minute runtime follows a consistent trend seen throughout the series. While Jurassic World Dominion (2022) still holds the record as the longest at 2 hours and 27 minutes, Rebirth surpasses several predecessors by a few minutes. It’s 10 minutes longer than 2015’s Jurassic World and 7 minutes longer than the original 1993 Jurassic Park.
Aside from Jurassic Park III—the franchise’s shortest film at just 1 hour and 32 minutes—all other entries have hovered around the two-hour mark. This consistency makes Rebirth a natural fit in terms of pacing, even though its slightly extended runtime hints at a more ambitious scope.
Here’s a quick look at how Rebirth stacks up against its predecessors:
| Title | Runtime |
|---|---|
| Jurassic Park (1993) | 2 hours 7 minutes |
| The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) | 2 hours 9 minutes |
| Jurassic Park III (2001) | 1 hour 32 minutes |
| Jurassic World (2015) | 2 hours 4 minutes |
| Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) | 2 hours 8 minutes |
| Jurassic World Dominion (2022) | 2 hours 27 minutes |
| Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) | 2 hours 14 minutes |
A New Chapter With Fresh Faces and Familiar Talent
Jurassic World Rebirth introduces a fresh lineup of characters to the iconic franchise. Scarlett Johansson leads the film as Zora Bennett, who is recruited by a pharmaceutical company to join a covert mission. Alongside her is Jonathan Bailey as Dr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist driven by scientific discovery, and Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid, the seasoned leader of the expedition.
Also joining the cast are Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, David Iacono, and Ed Skrein. While the film doesn’t feature legacy characters from previous entries, it benefits from a screenplay written by David Koepp, the original scribe of Jurassic Park. This return to the roots could offer longtime fans a nostalgic yet refreshed experience.
Directed by Gareth Edwards: A Perfect Fit for Big Beasts
Helming this new installment is Gareth Edwards, best known for his work on large-scale sci-fi epics like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Godzilla (2014), and The creator. Edwards brings a strong visual style and a talent for handling massive creatures on screen—skills that suit the Jurassic universe perfectly.
This marks his first foray into the franchise, and his direction could infuse Rebirth with a cinematic feel that balances action, suspense, and grounded character work.
Will the Length Impact the Box Office?
While Jurassic World Dominion proved that a long runtime doesn’t deter box office success—grossing over $1 billion globally—Rebirth faces a different challenge. It lacks the nostalgia factor of a crossover cast, meaning its success may hinge more on story, characters, and execution.
Still, with its blend of new talent, a return to narrative fundamentals, and Edwards’ capable direction, Jurassic World Rebirth could prove to be a solid hit for both longtime fans and new audiences alike.
