      In other news, the Brad Pitt-starring F1 collected $82.4 million, bringing its global total to $293.6 million, surpassing Ridley Scott's Napoleon, which has garnered $221.3 million, making it Apple’s highest-grossing release in just its second week. Meanwhile, DreamWorks’ live-action How to Train Your Dragon surpassed the $500 million threshold, and Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch continued its journey toward the billion-dollar mark, ending the weekend with $972.7 million.

      Set five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's environment has become mostly unwelcoming for dinosaurs. Those that remain exist in isolated equatorial locations with climates similar to their former habitats. The three largest creatures in that tropical ecosystem hold, within their DNA, the potential for a drug that could provide miraculous life-saving benefits to humans.

      Academy Award® nominee Scarlett Johansson portrays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operations expert hired to lead a talented team on a secret mission to obtain the genetic material. When Zora’s mission collides with a civilian family whose boating trip is disrupted by aggressive aquatic dinosaurs, they find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that previously housed a confidential Jurassic Park research facility. In this land filled with various dinosaur species, they face a shocking and sinister discovery that has been concealed from the world for decades.

      Mahershala Ali plays Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team member. Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) takes on the role of paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) stars as Martin Krebs, a representative of Big Pharma, while Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.

      The cast also features Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty), and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben’s family members. Additionally, Zora and Krebs’ crews include Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF), and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).
