Chris Pratt’s 128-Minute Sci-Fi Blockbuster Officially Dominates Free Streaming
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the 2018 science-fiction blockbuster starring Chris Pratt, has recently surged into the top 10 most-watched films on the free streaming platform Tubi in America. The film is available on multiple streaming services, including a standard Hulu subscription and free on Tubi, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the Jurassic World franchise and Pratt's star power in the streaming era.
The film, which cost $170 million to produce, grossed over $1.3 billion at the global box office when it was released eight years ago. This streaming success comes amid a mixed year for Pratt in 2026: whilst his film Mercy flopped at the box office, he achieved redemption with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which became the first film of the year to reach the $1 billion milestone globally. The latest Jurassic World instalment, Jurassic World Rebirth, released last summer, grossed $869 million—marking the first film in the franchise to fail to reach $1 billion at the global box office.
In short
- Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ranks in Tubi's top 10, streaming free in America
- Film earned $1.3 billion in 2018 on $170 million budget, still drawing audiences
- Recent Jurassic World Rebirth first franchise entry to miss $1 billion milestone
Explained simply
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a 2018 science-fiction film starring actor Chris Pratt, continuing the story of the Jurassic World franchise that combines dinosaur-themed adventure with substantial production budgets. When released, the film grossed over £1.3 billion at the global box office, marking significant commercial success.
Streaming services like Tubi have become important outlets for major films seeking audiences long after their cinema releases. Free, advertisement-supported platforms have proved particularly effective at reaching viewers who might not pay for subscriptions, allowing older blockbusters to accumulate substantial viewership figures.
The Jurassic franchise has maintained strong performance in cinemas and on streaming services in recent years. The latest Jurassic World film, Jurassic World Rebirth, released last summer, grossed £869 million—the first instalment in the franchise to fall short of the £1 billion mark that earlier films achieved.
