Get ready to feel the earth shake and the box office tremble — Jurassic World: Rebirth has smashed through Indian cinemas like a full-grown T-Rex on a rampage. Scarlett Johansson’s Hollywood juggernaut collected a whopping ₹50.45 crore in its first week alone, setting the tone for one of the biggest overseas blockbusters of 2025.
No IMAX? No problem. No franchise fatigue? Definitely not. With Rebirth, India has once again proved that the love for dinosaurs is not just alive — it’s thriving across metros and mass circuits alike!
From Zero to Jurassic Hero: The Week One Breakdown
The week opened strong and only got better as word-of-mouth spread like wildfire. Here’s how the numbers played out:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹7.15 crore – a solid start with fans pouring in despite competition.
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹10.10 crore – the Scarlett wave surges!
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹11.25 crore – a family-friendly dino-storm on Sunday outings.
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹6.25 crore – better than average weekday drop.
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹5.85 crore – shows the film’s real hold.
- Day 6 (Wednesday): ₹5.25 crore – momentum intact mid-week.
- Day 7 (Thursday): ₹4.60 crore – closes the week strong.
Total Week 1 (India Net): ₹50.45 crore
Rebirth has not only outperformed most of the year’s Hollywood releases in India but has also surpassed expectations from trade analysts who didn’t foresee such a storm.
Scarlett Shines in India
Scarlett Johansson’s first outing in the Jurassic universe is clearly paying off. Her presence has been a massive crowd-puller, even among audiences not traditionally glued to Hollywood tentpoles. Critics may have been on the fence globally, but here in India, viewers have voted with their wallets and hearts.
What’s even more impressive? A majority of the Hindi-dubbed audiences are coming back with repeat viewings, particularly in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. The dinosaur franchise’s fanbase runs deep — from Gen X to Gen Alpha, everyone’s in the mood for prehistoric thrill!
No IMAX, Still a Roaring Start
Here’s the twist — Jurassic World: Rebirth didn’t even release in IMAX in India, losing out on a key premium format that usually boosts big-budget spectacles. And yet, without the edge of those larger-than-life screens, it still managed to bring in over ₹50 crore in just seven days.
Had IMAX been in play, trade experts suggest the film could’ve easily added another ₹4–5 crore to the total. Imagine the numbers with that dino-sized boost!
India’s Love Affair with Dinosaurs Continues
From Jurassic Park to The Lost World, from Fallen Kingdom to now Rebirth, the Indian audience has never let go of its fascination with Spielberg’s creature creation. What makes Rebirth extra special is how it manages to blend nostalgia with a modern-day eco-political storyline — one that resonates across cultures.
Scarlett’s character, the new-age conservationist with claws (pun intended), struck a chord with youth audiences — particularly women, who are flocking to the film in higher-than-expected numbers.
Final Roar: A HIT is Born
Week one ends with a HIT verdict stamped in bold. If the current trend continues, the film is likely to end its India run in the ₹85–90 crore range — making it the second highest-grossing film in the Jurassic franchise in India, just behind Jurassic World (2015).
With superhero flicks, racing dramas, and big Bollywood entries on the horizon, Jurassic World: Rebirth still holds its own thanks to rock-solid occupancy, genre loyalty, and a fearless female lead who brought new energy into the franchise.
As they say in Jay-Ho! land — the dinos are back, and they’ve brought box office gold with them!
