Nearly a decade after its explosive theatrical debut, Jurassic World is charging back into the limelight. With the release of the newest installment, Jurassic World: Rebirth, audiences around the world are rediscovering the 2015 blockbuster that revived the dinosaur franchise and redefined the modern summer spectacle.
As Rebirth continues to storm global cinemas, its predecessor is clawing its way back into the streaming charts across the globe—from North America to Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. It’s clear that the dinosaur mania is far from extinct.
A Global Streaming Phenomenon Reawakened
Streaming platforms are witnessing a remarkable resurgence of Jurassic World as both nostalgia-driven fans and curious newcomers flock to revisit the action-packed origins of the current trilogy. According to recent platform data, the movie has skyrocketed back into the top 10 rankings across major territories.
On iTunes, Jurassic World surged to the top spot in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Jordan. In Europe, it posted impressive climbs as well—ranking #5 in Belgium, #6 in Germany, and re-entering the top 10 in France. The trend is being seen across continents, with the film making its way back into viewer watchlists.
Amazon Prime is also enjoying the dino revival. The movie returned to the top 10 in Italy, Mexico, and Spain. Notably, Spain has proven to be especially loyal, keeping the film locked into its top 10 daily, even as other newer titles come and go.
In India and Slovenia, the movie has gained traction on platforms like Rakuten TV and Zee5, showing that even niche streamers are benefiting from the global Jurassic frenzy.
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, OSN platforms report strong midweek performance. Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, and Qatar are seeing consistent viewership, with the film appearing in the regional top charts.
All these numbers point toward a massive wave of rewatching, seemingly triggered by the arrival of Jurassic World: Rebirth. Whether driven by nostalgia or sheer dino enthusiasm, fans are re-engaging with the film that kicked off the latest trilogy in thrilling fashion.
Why Jurassic World (2015) Still Captivates Audiences
Directed by Colin Trevorrow and starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, Jurassic World brought the long-dormant franchise roaring back to life in 2015. The film cleverly tied in the nostalgic elements of Steven Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park while introducing a fresh, high-octane approach for a new generation.
The chemistry between Owen Grady (Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Howard), the genetically engineered Indominus Rex, and the thrilling park-set sequences contributed to its critical and commercial acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film still holds a 72% critic score and an audience approval rating of 78%.
More impressively, Jurassic World grossed $1.67 billion globally, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2015 and, at that time, the third-highest-grossing movie in box office history. Its box office power was complemented by a prolonged theater run of over 20 weeks, with a $208 million opening weekend that set records in multiple regions.
Comparing Box Office: Can Rebirth Compete?
While Jurassic World: Rebirth is off to a strong start—grossing approximately $550 million globally in its first two weeks—industry insiders are skeptical it will match the towering success of the original film.
Several factors contribute to this prediction. First, Rebirth’s momentum, though strong, appears more front-loaded than its predecessor. The original Jurassic World maintained long-term legs in theaters, partly due to limited competition and widespread word of mouth. In contrast, Rebirth is facing a crowded summer slate with titles like Superman and Fantastic Four arriving within weeks.
With audience attention spread across multiple blockbuster releases, Rebirth might struggle to maintain dominance over a sustained period. That said, its current haul is impressive and reaffirms the staying power of the Jurassic brand.
The Streaming Bounce: A Modern Franchise Blueprint
The rebound of Jurassic World on streaming platforms is more than just a quirky byproduct of a new theatrical release—it’s becoming a strategic blueprint for how studios can leverage legacy titles to enhance franchise loyalty and deepen audience engagement.
As seen with Top Gun, Avatar, and now Jurassic World, older franchise entries benefit massively from the buzz of newer releases. This dual-track strategy of theatrical release and digital resurgence helps studios maximize visibility and monetization across all platforms.
The trend also highlights the shifting habits of global audiences. In a digital-first entertainment world, films never really “leave” the audience’s consciousness. With a few trending keywords and a timely trailer drop, even decade-old blockbusters can re-enter the pop culture conversation almost instantly.
Where to Watch
For those looking to revisit the dinosaur adventure that reignited the franchise, Jurassic World is currently available to stream on Prime Video. It’s the perfect time to refresh your memory before diving into Rebirth, or to introduce the magic of dinosaurs to a new generation of fans.
Whether you’re watching for the first time or coming back for another adrenaline rush, the film proves it still holds up—and still rules the prehistoric kingdom of blockbuster cinema.
Conclusion
The resurgence of Jurassic World proves that great storytelling, compelling visuals, and iconic creatures like the T-Rex never go out of style. With Rebirth bringing fresh energy to the saga, now is the perfect time for fans old and new to experience the thrills of Isla Nublar once again.
