Jurassic World Rebirth Will Be the Franchise’s Longest Movie Ever

The upcoming film, titled Jurassic World: Rebirth, is expected to be one of the lengthiest installments in this cherished series. Contrary to popular belief that Jurassic World: Dominion concluded the Jurassic Saga three years ago, Universal Pictures believes the franchise’s worth is too significant to let it fade away for an extended period. The studio aims to rekindle the franchise under the leadership of director Gareth Edwards, who previously worked on Rogue One. The film boasts a star-studded cast that includes Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Idris Elba (Moonlight)), and Jonathan Bailey (Wicked). It’s scheduled to debut on a prime Fourth of July weekend.

According to AMC Theaters and The Direct, the upcoming film “Jurassic World Rebirth” is expected to run for 2 hours and 14 minutes. This makes it the second-lengthiest movie in the “Jurassic” series, falling just behind “Jurassic World: Dominion.” Interestingly, “Jurassic World Rebirth” will be about five minutes longer than the previous runner-up in terms of length within the franchise, which is “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” Generally speaking, most films in the “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic World” series clock in around 2 hours. The shortest among these is “Jurassic Park III,” with a runtime of only 92 minutes. Here’s a rundown of the running times for all seven “Jurassic” films:

1. Jurassic Park (1993) – 127 minutes
2. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) – 129 minutes
3. Jurassic Park III (2001) – 92 minutes
4. Jurassic World (2015) – 124 minutes
5. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) – 128 minutes
6. Jurassic World Dominion (2022) – 2 hours and 26 minutes
7. Jurassic World Rebirth (2023) – 2 hours and 14 minutes

Will ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Succeed Where ‘Dominion’ Failed?

Despite the fact that “Jurassic World Rebirth” is among the longest films in its series, it follows the pattern of summer blockbusters, where viewers should anticipate an extended viewing experience when they watch “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” which has a runtime nearing three hours. Spending a sweltering summer afternoon seated in a theater for over two hours, watching dinosaurs create chaos, may not be a bad way to spend the season…for those who are sensitive to sunlight, at least.

The movie titled “Jurassic World: Rebirth” has been chosen as Fandango’s Most Exciting Film of the 2025 Summer Movie Season, given its predecessors in the series earned over $1 billion globally each. However, as summer rolls around, the competition for “Jurassic World: Rebirth” is intensifying. While it will undoubtedly surpass films like “Lilo & Stitch” and “How to Train Your Dragon”, the trailers for “Superman” and “The Fantastic Four: First Step” might outshine “Jurassic World: Rebirth”.

As a movie reviewer, I must admit that the release of “Jurassic World Rebirth” is met with a mix of excitement and apprehension. The box office success of its predecessor, “Jurassic World: Dominion,” was undeniably impressive, raking in an astounding $1 billion globally. However, it’s fair to say that the film wasn’t universally loved within the Jurassic fan base.

The franchise, with its iconic “Jurassic” brand, has often appeared critic-proof. But remember, even the mightiest dinosaur can be tripped up occasionally. The series took a break for 14 years following the underperformance of “Jurassic Park III.” Universal Pictures is banking on the allure of the Fourth of July weekend to entice audiences back to the cinemas. After all, this holiday has proven to be a box office goldmine for Universal’s beloved “Despicable Me” and “Minions” franchises.

So, here we are, on the precipice of another Jurassic adventure, hoping that the magic of the dinosaurs once more captivates us all. Let’s just hope this time, it’s a roar of approval instead of a growl of discontent.
