The new era of the franchise gets off to a so-so start.

Dinosaurs are ruling the box office again. “Jurassic World Rebirth,” the seventh installment in Universal’s long-running prehistoric series, stomped to $147.3 million over its first five days in 4,308 North American theaters.

Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey led the sixth sequel in the megafauna franchise to a decisive victory over Brad Pitt's "F1: The Movie."
