Jurassic World: Rebirth, the seventh film in the long-running dinosaur franchise, has earned ₹22 crore in India in the first two days of its release. The film, directed by Gareth Edwards and written by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, opened with a staggering figure of ₹9 crore in India, surpassing 2022’s Jurassic World: Dominion.

According to Sacnilk, the film earned ₹13 crore on its second day, Saturday, with its English, Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu versions making ₹6.5 crore, ₹1.5 crore, ₹4.5 crore, and ₹0.5 crore, respectively.

Notably, the English version of the film had an overall occupancy of 46.21 per cent on Saturday. Chennai registered the highest footfalls for the English 3D version (81.50 per cent), followed by Bengaluru (62.25 per cent) and Hyderabad (50 per cent).

Meanwhile, the film earned $141 million in the US and $312 million globally, according to Saturday’s estimates reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

Jurassic World: Rebirth stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Rupert Friend and Jonathan Bailey in leading roles. The film, set five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, unfolds in a world where dinosaurs have been largely pushed into remote, equatorial zones due to climate incompatibility. However, the few surviving species may hold the secret to a medical breakthrough, driving a high-risk extraction mission led by Johansson’s character.

The Hindu’s review of the film read, “Jurassic World: Rebirth sounds and looks wonderful, and though it does not offer anything brilliantly new, it is the kind of summer fast food that is filling and tasty and utterly forgettable.”
