'Jurassic World: Rebirth' box office collections day 2: Film clocks Rs 22 crore; Thanks to Saturday boost

' Jurassic World: Rebirth ' seems to be doing exactly what fans hoped — bringing back the thrill of the original series while drawing solid crowds to theatres.

According to the Sacnilk website, the film opened with Rs 9 crore on Friday and jumped to an estimated Rs 13 crore on Saturday, taking the two-day total to Rs 22 crore.


Dinosaurs still have box office power



Directed by Gareth Edwards, this new chapter stars Scarlett Johansson , Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey. There was already buzz leading up to its release, and now with early numbers looking strong, it’s clear that people are turning up — maybe out of nostalgia, maybe for the spectacle, or maybe just to see dinosaurs wreck things on a giant screen.



Evening shows drove the Saturday climb



The big shift came Saturday evening. While morning shows started off slow, occupancy picked up across languages — especially for the English 3D version. Tamil screenings also held up well, particularly in major cities. Hindi audiences came in stronger than expected by nightfall, which helped push the day’s total up.

Even premium screens — Dolby, IMAX, and 3D — saw decent footfall. That’s always a good sign. When people are choosing better formats over basic ones, it usually means there’s genuine excitement about the film, not just casual interest.


Will Sunday keep the momentum going?



With Sunday being the most crucial day of the weekend, trade experts believe Rebirth could comfortably go past Rs 35 crore before Monday morning. If it happens, the film might just cement itself as a mid-year hit.



At the moment, things are looking up. The dinosaurs aren’t just stomping around on screen — they’re pulling crowds, filling seats, and giving theatres something to cheer about. ETimes review for the film reads, "It's a heartwarming family watch that blends comedy, compassion, and charm, and is definitely worth a trip to the theatre."
