Jurassic World Rebirth Lifetime India Box Office: Scarlett Johansson starrer set to end its winning run netting Rs 89 crore
Jurassic World: Rebirth, directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and others, is set to wind up its winning India run, as two big Indian movie giants, War 2 and Coolie, hit theatres. Jurassic World: Rebirth will add a few more lakhs to end up with a final net of Rs 89 crore. This is significantly higher than the last couple of Jurassic World movies - Dominion and Fallen Kingdom, while equal to Jurassic World (2015). Jurassic World: Rebirth Ends With Rs 89 Crore Net In India; Hits Rs 100 Crore Including 3D Handling Charges These collections exclude 3D handling charges and thus, the numbers may differ from what you may find in the public domain. If 3D charges are included, Rebirth stands at exactly Rs 100 crore net. Jurassic World: Rebirth Heads For A Blockbuster USD 850 Million Global Finish Globally, Rebirth heads for a USD 850 million finish (including 3D handling charges), lower than the last 3 Jurassic World movies. The last 3 Jurassic World movies hit a billion dollars each and while it is unfortunate that Rebirth is not part of the club, there's absolutely no denying that it is a blockbuster too. With a much controlled budget, it is set to end up as a more profitable venture than Dominion. Universal Has Got A Lot To Think Despite Rebirth's Blockbuster Global Performance Despite the blockbuster reception of Rebirth, Universal finds itself in a fix. The drop in collections of the Jurassic World movies is slightly concerning. There is room for higher collections for sure. If the 2015 movie could do around USD 1.7 billion and the 2025 movie is doing USD 850 million, there's definitely something that needs to be analysed. Just profits alone are not enough when the numbers are going down with every film. Jurassic World: Rebirth Is The 2nd Highest Grosser Of Summer 2025, Worldwide Jurassic World: Rebirth ends as the summer's second biggest hit in terms of global collections, only under Lilo And Stitch's USD 1 billion. In India, it's collections are just under Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning and F1 among Summer releases. If 3D charges are included, it ends as the highest grossing Hollywood film of not just this Summer but also this year. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Nagarjuna reveals Lokesh Kanagaraj took reference from Heath Ledger's Joker for Coolie: ‘Glad he didn't put on that smile…'
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is all set to hit the screens very soon. The director is a great fan of DC movies, and he often takes inspiration from several Hollywood films to satisfy his childhood fanboy. In a candid conversation with Shruti Haasan, Nagarjuna, who is playing the villain in Rajinikanth's Coolie, revealed that Loki took reference from Christopher Nolan's Joker from The Dark Knight for his costumes. While mentioning his costumes' color combination 'purple & cream', Nagarjuna said, 'I think Loki had Heath Ledger's Joker in his mind, and he wanted that madness. He probably saw the madness in the color as well.' Nagarjuna added that he never wore such colors, so it was very refreshing. He said, 'Loki told the dress designers. They got two or three options. He saw and said, 'This is it. This is the one I want.' I also had a jacket. Purple jacket. It was really good. I never wore those colors.' Further, he went on to add, 'It is a very strange dress. I mean, even for me, it's baggy pants.' To which Shruti agreed and added, 'It's kind of a mix of Heath Ledger and old Joker, as we know from the character.' Nagarjuna quipped, 'I'm glad he didn't put on that smile.' Nagarjuna reveals recording narration, making notes for the first time, before signing a film The Telugu star, who has always played the protagonist and moralistic characters, took several narrations before signing Coolie. The actor revealed that he recorded the narration for the first time and took notes to decide whether to play a negative character. He said, "The story starts with Simon's character. For the first time, I've recorded the narration and made notes to decide on the character. I never did this earlier.' Furthermore, Nagarjuna revealed that Rajinikanth was also stunned after looking at his shot. 'After the shot was over, Rajini sir nodded and said 'hmmm' (with a sweet smile).' For the unversed, Coolie hits the screens tomorrow (August 14). The movie stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, and Aamir Khan.
