Box Office Performance of ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ in India
The film ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ continues to show a consistent performance at the box office, maintaining its momentum even in the second week. As per the latest data from Sacnilk, on Day 14, the movie earned an estimated Rs 1.25 crore, bringing its total collection in India to approximately Rs 80.06 crore over two weeks.
Strong Start Followed by Predictable Dips
The movie had a powerful opening with a collection of Rs 56.25 crore in the first week. However, as expected, there were dips in the second week. Despite this, the film managed to recover slightly on weekends, with Day 9 and Day 10 collecting Rs 7.35 crore and Rs 7.8 crore respectively. The mid-week days, however, saw a drop in collections, contributing only around Rs 5.56 crore between Monday and Thursday.
Regional Performance and Audience Preferences
One of the key factors behind the movie’s steady performance is the strong preference for the 3D version. On Day 14, the English 3D version had an occupancy rate of 11.81%, with Chennai leading the way at 20.25%. Mumbai and NCR also maintained strong double-digit figures. The Tamil version of the film performed well overall, with an occupancy rate of 14.18%. Certain regions like Vellore and Trichy showed exceptional interest, with occupancy rates reaching 40.75% and 21.75% respectively. The Hindi 3D version had an average turnout of 9.51%, while the Hindi 2D version saw lower engagement.
The availability of dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu has helped the film reach a broader audience across the country, contributing to its pan-India success.
Critical Reception and Audience Response
The film received positive reviews from critics, with ETimes giving it a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars. The review highlighted the impressive visuals captured by cinematographer John Mathieson. However, the narrative was seen as having potential but not fully explored. The review mentioned that the film touches on deeper themes such as the ethical implications of human ambition and playing God with nature, but these elements were not delved into deeply.
Despite this, the movie has been well-received by Indian audiences, and its continued run in theaters is expected to be strong. Another advantage for the film is the absence of major regional releases in the near future, which could have affected its performance.
Conclusion
With a solid box office performance, strong regional traction, and positive critical reception, ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’ is set to maintain its presence in Indian cinemas for some time. Its ability to cater to different language audiences and deliver visually stunning content makes it a standout film in the current cinematic landscape.
