Jurassic World Rebirth box office collection day 4: Following a string of mediocre films, the iconic Jurassic Park franchise has finally been rejuvenated, thanks to director Gareth Edwards’ Jurassic World Rebirth, which opened to more favourable responses than its recent predecessors. Interestingly, on its first Monday in theatres, the sci-fi thriller earned significantly more than several major recent Indian releases. In fact, it even outperformed Brad Pitt’s F1, despite the latter opening to considerably better reviews.
On Monday, Jurassic World Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey in the lead roles, recorded an India nett collection of Rs 4.1 crore, according to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk. With this, the Hollywood film’s total domestic collection has reached Rs 43.1 crore in just four days. Although its Monday figure was 74.77 per cent lower than the Rs 16.25 crore it collected on Sunday, the movie still managed to pass the crucial first Monday test.

Notably, Jurassic World Rebirth’s performance on the day was stronger than Vishnu Manchu’s pan-Indian Telugu devotional film Kannappa, which featured cameo appearances by major stars like Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Mohanlal and Kajal Aggarwal. On its first Monday in theatres, Kannappa earned just Rs 2.3 crore, despite debuting at Rs 9.35 crore, almost on par with Jurassic World Rebirth’s Rs 9.25 crore opening-day nett in India. Comparing other recent first-Monday performances, the Scarlett Johansson-starrer also outdid major films like F1 (Rs 3.35 crore), Maa (Rs 2.5 crore) and Metro… In Dino (Rs 2.25 crore).
During the day, Jurassic World Rebirth’s English edition recorded an overall occupancy rate of 13.87 per cent. Although the morning shows began at 7.02 per cent, the figure steadily improved throughout the day, with the afternoon, evening and night screenings recording 13.03 per cent, 17.04 per cent and 18.37 per cent, respectively. According to Box Office Mojo, Jurassic World Rebirth’s worldwide gross now stands at $322 million (Rs 2,765 crore), far ahead of F1’s $293 million (Rs 2,515 crore).
