'Jurassic World: Rebirth' box office collections day 1: Movie opens big in India, nets Rs 9 crore

‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ has roared into Indian theatres with a solid opening. As per early estimates from the Sacnilk website, the film earned Rs 9 crore across languages on its first day.

Evening and night shows push collections



While morning and afternoon shows saw average occupancy, the film picked up steam as the day progressed. In English 3D, night shows reached nearly 50% occupancy, while English MX4D peaked with 97% in night slots.



Tamil audiences also showed strong support which is especially for the 3D version in which the occupancy climbed to over 45% during night screenings. English 2D and Hindi 2D formats performed more modestly as the occupancies were between 11% and 26% overall.



Strong start, now all eyes on the weekend



With Rs 9 crore in its kitty already, Jurassic World: Rebirth is set for a strong weekend run if the trend holds.

Saturday and Sunday bookings have shown early promise, particularly in urban centres. The real challenge will be sustaining momentum beyond the weekend, especially with local-language films competing for screens.



But for now, dinosaurs have once again claimed the box office throne—at least for the opening day.


ETimes review for the film reads, "In addition to the jaw-dropping set pieces, the film’s pacing keeps viewers on the edge of their seat, rarely allowing for a dull moment.Narratively, the film hints at deeper questions around playing God with nature and the moral cost of human ambition, but these threads are never fully explored. Still, the spectacle is so compelling that viewers may forgive the lack of emotional depth. "


With a decent start at the Indian box office and also with good reviews from the audience, the Scarlett Johansson-starrer fantasy film is expected to mint decent numbers in the coming days at the Indian box office.
