Jurassic World: Rebirth, the Scarlett Johansson-starrer, was released in the theatres on July 4. The latest instalment of the iconic Jurassic Park franchise saw a grand opening in India on Friday. On its Day 1, the film outperformed several Bollywood films like Kajol’s Maa and Anurag Basu’s Metro…In Dino and even Hollywood star Brad Pitt’s racing drama, F1. According to Sacnilk.com, the sci-fi thriller minted Rs 9 crore on its opening day across all languages.
The film made a solid start at the box office on its first day, despite having a clash with Metro..In Dino, which collected Rs 3.35 crore on Day 1.
With such big numbers, Jurassic World: Rebirth has emerged as the franchise’s highest opener, surpassing its previous instalment, Jurassic World Dominion, which grossed Rs 8.15 crore net (excluding paid previews). The film, which was released in 2022, earned Rs 11 crore, including previews.
Looking at the positive reviews, the film’s collection is expected to grow in the coming days in India. However, the film might face a significant challenge at the box office with James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman arriving in the theatres next week.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film also features celebs like Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Gracia-Rulfo and Ed Skrein in pivotal roles.
The film tells the narrative of a group of mercenaries and scientists who travel to a dinosaur-infested island to gather prehistoric DNA for a medical breakthrough. The film follows their mission to collect samples from three huge dinosaurs (a Mosasaurus, Titanosaurus, and Quetzalcoatlus) while simultaneously saving a stranded family. The journey turns into a fight for survival as they face rogue dinosaurs and negotiate the dangers of the island.
As for the global collection, Jurassic World: Rebirth was released in the US on July 2 and earned an impressive USD 30.5 million on its first day at the US box office, according to Box Office Mojo by IMDb Pro. It is the sixth biggest opening of 2025 so far, topping previous blockbuster releases such as F1, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and Sinners.
