When a new coach takes over a struggling sports team they often start pinning the blame on their predecessor, complaining about the lack of fitness in their players. It's a way of buying themselves time. "Look at the mess I inherited!" With Jurassic World Rebirth, director Gareth Edwards and returning screenwriter David Koepp, who penned the first two Spielberg directed entries, pull a similar stunt. Opening text tells us that the world of this series has begun to take dinosaurs for granted, and in an early sequence we see New York commuters moan as the sort of dinosaur that inspired wonder in Sam Neill and Laura Dern all those years ago is now the cause of a traffic jam. Edwards and Koepp are clearly acknowledging that they've inherited a mess, but the box office figures suggest the public hasn't lost interest in this series. The most recent entry, Dominion, made a billion dollars despite being the series' low point. At time of writing, Jurassic World Rebirth has made a staggering $250 million in just its opening day.
