Jurassic World Rebirth’ Roars at Indian Box Office with 49.3 Crore Weekend

The dinosaurs are back, and this time, they’ve stomped their way to box office glory. Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest chapter in the iconic Jurassic franchise, has taken the Indian box office by storm, earning a whopping ₹49.3 crore within just three days of its release.

The film, released on July 4, 2025, has not only thrilled Indian moviegoers with its high-octane adventure and star-studded cast but also set records in its opening weekend. According to Universal Pictures India, which distributed the film in the country via Warner Bros. Discovery, Jurassic World Rebirth has delivered the biggest opening weekend for an MPA (Motion Picture Association) title in 2025, excluding early sneak previews.

Record-Breaking Start in India

With an opening weekend gross of ₹49.3 crore, Jurassic World Rebirth has surpassed industry projections. It was initially expected to land the #2 spot for the year among MPA titles with sneak previews, trailing only behind Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning starring Tom Cruise. However, the film’s strong weekend showing has propelled it ahead, making it a major box office success in India.

Cinema chains across major metros reported sold-out shows and extended screenings, particularly in IMAX and premium formats. Multiplexes in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad saw exceptionally high footfalls, echoing the film’s global appeal and the enduring popularity of the Jurassic brand in India.

Global Box Office Stampede

Internationally, Jurassic World Rebirth has performed just as impressively. Over its first five days, the film grossed $147.3 million in North America, playing in over 4,300 theaters. Its global footprint expanded further with a strong debut in 82 markets, including China, where it earned an additional $171 million, bringing the worldwide opening total to a staggering $318.3 million.

This global success reflects not just the film's wide appeal but also the powerful marketing push and anticipation that surrounded its release. Despite mixed critical reviews, the film has found favor with audiences for its visual effects, nostalgic callbacks, and intense action sequences.
 

A Star-Driven Dinosaur Thriller

Helmed by Rogue One director Gareth Edwards and penned by veteran Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, Jurassic World Rebirth introduces a new storyline while staying true to the spirit of the original films. The plot centers around a covert extraction mission on the original Isla Nublar, now home to untamed prehistoric giants that were never retrieved.

Leading the cast is Scarlett Johansson as Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operations agent tasked with recovering vital genetic material from the abandoned island facility. Joining her is Jonathan Bailey, Emmy and SAG-nominated actor, who plays the brilliant yet reluctant palaeontologist Dr. Henry Loomis. Rounding out the trio is Mahershala Ali, a two-time Oscar winner, who portrays the seasoned team member Duncan Kincaid.

The dynamic chemistry between the leads, combined with breathtaking CGI dinosaurs and pulse-pounding set pieces, has earned the film a growing fan base. Audiences have particularly appreciated the film’s blend of suspense, adventure, and human emotion amidst prehistoric chaos.

Mixed Reviews, Strong Audience Response
 

Critics have been divided on Jurassic World Rebirth, with some praising its technical finesse and action sequences, while others criticized its predictable plot and character development. Nevertheless, audience reception has been more favorable, with many calling it a “fun summer blockbuster” that rekindles the thrill of the original Jurassic Park.

Social media reactions from Indian viewers have ranged from nostalgic praise to awe at the visual spectacle. Hashtags like #JurassicRebirth and #DinoMania trended across platforms throughout the weekend.

What’s Next?

Following its blockbuster weekend, the film is expected to maintain strong momentum in the coming weeks, especially given the lack of major competing releases. With schools closed in many regions and monsoon rains keeping families indoors, box office analysts predict that Jurassic World Rebirth could cross the ₹100 crore mark in India within two weeks.

As Jurassic World Rebirth continues its theatrical run, its success reinforces the franchise’s enduring power and global fanbase. For now, the dinos have proven once again—they rule the box office.
