The film surpassed Brad Pitt's F1, driven by strong performances across multiple languages and Johansson's star power. It is now behind Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible in the Indian market. Scarlett Johansson has roared back to box office dominance with Jurassic Park: Rebirth, which has officially become the second biggest Hollywood grosser of 2025 in India. The sci-fi adventure epic has amassed a whopping Rs 73 crore in just 10 days, edging past Brad Pitt 's high-octane racing drama F1, which stands at Rs 69.75 crore after 17 days.

With a week-one total of Rs 55 crore, the film set the tone for a sustained and powerful run, boosted by strong performance across Hindi, English, Tamil, and Telugu versions. Its second weekend brought in another Rs 18 crore, underscoring the film's wide appeal and strong word-of-mouth. In contrast, F1 had a slower start at Rs 5.5 crore on day one and relied on a steady buildup through multiple weekends. Despite strong Saturday and Sunday collections in its second and third weeks, F1 was ultimately overtaken by the dinosaur franchise's juggernaut momentum. What sets Jurassic Park: Rebirth apart is its mass appeal across linguistic markets, with Hindi versions alone contributing over Rs 20 crore. Scarlett Johansson's star power, coupled with cutting-edge visuals and a nostalgic yet fresh storyline, helped the film dominate multiplexes and single screens alike. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

David Corenswet's Superman Fails to Beat Jurassic Park: Rebirth as 2025's Second Biggest Hollywood Opener in India
In 2025, Hollywood blockbusters continue to dominate the Indian box office, with *Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning* leading the pack. *Jurassic Park: Rebirth*, starring Scarlett Johansson, had a strong opening, surpassing James Gunn's *Superman* reboot. While *Superman* had a respectable debut, it couldn't match the dinosaur film's broad appeal and nostalgia factor. The Indian box office continues to see strong performances from Hollywood blockbusters in 2025, but James Gunn 's much-awaited Superman, starring David Corenswet , has fallen short of expectations when compared to the numbers posted by Scarlett Johansson 's Jurassic Park: Rebirth just a week earlier. Superman opened to Rs 7 crore nett in India on its first day — a respectable figure for a DC reboot, but notably lower than Jurassic Park: Rebirth, which had minted Rs 9.25 crore nett on its opening day last Friday. Trade experts had pegged Superman for a stronger debut, considering the legacy of the character and the buzz around James Gunn's fresh take on the franchise. However, while the film picked up, it struggled to match the broad appeal of the dinosaur spectacle. With these figures, Jurassic Park: Rebirth retains its position as the second-biggest Hollywood opener of 2025 in India. The top spot continues to be held by Tom Cruise 'sMission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which had stormed the Indian box office with a Rs 16.5 crore opening day earlier this year—the film had gotten a Saturday release keeping the global release in Superman did manage to beat Brad Pitt 's F1 which had debuted in India with Rs 5.5 crore has been the only Hollywood film to cross Rs 100 crore mark in India, given how Jurassic Park-Rebirth has performed in it's first week minting Rs 55 crore- one can expect it to come close to Tom Cruise's numbers but unlikely to breach it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo According to exhibitors, Jurassic Park: Rebirth had the advantage of nostalgia, Scarlett Johansson's mass popularity, and a visual spectacle that drew audiences across formats, especially in 3D and 4DX. In contrast, while Superman enjoyed a loyal fanbase and decent advance bookings, the superhero genre's current fatigue and mixed global reception may have tempered its initial numbers in India. Despite the difference in opening day figures, both films are expected to perform well over their opening weekends, with Superman relying on family audiences and superhero enthusiasts to drive up its collections on Saturday and Sunday. As it stands, the pecking order for Hollywood's biggest Indian openings remains: Dead Reckoning (Rs 16.5 crore), Jurassic Park: Rebirth (Rs 9.25 crore), and Superman (Rs 7 crore). It remains to be seen whether any upcoming tentpole release in the latter half of 2025 can challenge these numbers at the Indian box office.

Film review: Jurassic Park: Rebirth places the focus on the real stars — the dinosaurs
It is hard to believe the world might grow weary of living dinosaurs, but such is the world of Jurassic Park: Rebirth (12A), which begins 32 years on from the opening of the theme park that offered the miracle of resurrected Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus rex, et al. These days, alas, the kids are inured to the wonder of the dinosaurs, who, dying off due to climate change and disease, can only be found in the wild in a no-go zone around the equator. Enter Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend), a pharmaceutical company fixer who requires dino DNA for a revolutionary new heart medicine, and who commissions the mercenary Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) to assemble a team to source the DNA of three of the biggest dinosaurs that ever lived. Complicating matters is the fact that the three behemoths are seagoing, airborne, and land-dwelling; also, the samples need to be taken from living creatures. Having thus raised the stakes a little higher than previous Jurassic Park movies, director Gareth Edwards unleashes his crack team on a remote island — Zora pulls in her old sea-captain pal Duncan (Mahershala Ali), and dino expert Dr Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) — and tosses them into scenarios that fans of the franchise will recognise as a kind of Jurassic Park greatest hits, albeit one that includes dinosaurs that have evolved/mutated into beasts that are strongly reminiscent of the nightmarish creatures from the Alien franchise. An early nod to the work of animation genius Ray Harryhausen tells us that Edwards is deliberately harking back to past glories, and for the most part it works. Scarlett Johansson is enjoyably self-deprecating and hard-nosed as the mercenary-in-chief, and there's strong support from a charismatic Mahershala Ali and a quietly diffident Jonathan Bailey, who deftly juggles the twin roles of hapless boffin and Johansson's love interest — although, as always, it's the terrifying dinosaurs who are the real stars. Vincent Cassel and Diane Kruger in 'The Shrouds.' The Shrouds ★★★☆☆ Cinema release The Shrouds (16s) stars Vincent Cassel as Karsh Relik, a man who has pioneered 'Gravetech', a coffin-cam technology and the ultimate memento mori that allows mourners to observe their loved ones decomposing in their graves. Obsessed with his dead wife Becca (Diane Kruger), Karsh is horrified when his cemetery is vandalised, and suspects corporate sabotage —a view shared by Terry (also played by Kruger), Becca's sister and Karsh's confidante. All of which sounds morbid, to say the least, but is par for the course for writer-director David Cronenberg, who once again explores many of the motifs that have characterised his work: body horror, doppelgängers, the unholy blend of human and machine. It all feels rather stilted, however, and particularly Cassel's performance and dialogue delivery, and the story itself has the clumsy, fumbling feel of a man trying to remember how this thing used to work. Beat the Lotto Beat the Lotto ★★★☆☆ Cinema release Beat the Lotto (G) is a documentary by Ross Whitaker detailing how a syndicate of gamblers, assembled in 1992 by Cork man Stefan Klincewicz, attempted to scoop the Lotto by buying up every single possible combination of six numbers. Featuring contemporary TV footage and talking heads interviews with the syndicate members, the film does a surprisingly good job of ramping up the tension in a story we already know the outcome of, as the Lotto, alerted to the unusual patterns of play, goes on the offensive. That said, Whitaker is less successful at framing the syndicate as plucky outsiders who took on the system and won; despite their almost child-like excitement at being on the inside track, these are men who seek to strip away the fantasy of winning the Lotto in their pursuit of a cast-iron plunger. As journalist Mark Little points out, the perfectly legal heist marked the death of a certain kind of economic innocence as we belatedly learned that the luck of the Irish was no substitute for a clear-eyed appraisal of the odds.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey trailer leaked, Tom Holland steals the show
Christopher Nolan's next epic, The Odyssey, has made its first appearance — although not officially. Staying true to his commitment to theatrical-first storytelling, Nolan has chosen to debut the film's teaser exclusively in cinemas ahead of Jurassic Park: Rebirth. While The Odyssey is slated for a grand release on July 17, 2026, curious fans have already caught glimpses of the trailer through leaked phone footage on X (formerly Twitter). Echoing the hush-hush rollout of Oppenheimer, the teaser has yet to be officially released online. But those who've seen it describe an atmospheric, myth-laced tone. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, a voiceover paired with sweeping sea visuals sets the stage: 'Darkness. Zeus' law was smashed to pieces. I'm without a king since my master died. He knew it was an unwinnable war. And then, somehow, he won it.' The Odyssey Teaser 'leaked' online Tom Holland plays Odysseus' son Telemachus in the trailer, while Jon Bernthal plays an unidentified character. The emotional centre of the movie is established by a brief conversation between the two. Fans are left wanting more when 'One Year From Now... A Journey Begins' comes on screen in a large font. Matt Damon's Odysseus is shown to be stranded on a wooden raft as the teaser trailer ends in the ocean. Variety claims that the first glimpse of Tom Holland's Telemachus, who questions Jon Bernthal's character, is included in the 70-second teaser. "I have to find out what happened to my father. When did you last see him?" Bernthal responds, "I know nothing of Odysseus, not since Troy. Interested in rumor, huh? Gossip. Who has a story about Odysseus, huh? Some say he's rich or some say he's poor. Some say he perished. Some say he's imprisoned. What say you?" More about 'The Odyssey' With 'The Odyssey', Nolan will begin a full-scale cinematic siege. The film's production started in February 2025, and filming is still ongoing. In addition to Morocco, Greece, Italy, Scotland, Los Angeles, and now Iceland, it will soon move to Ireland in July and London afterwards. On July 17, 2026, 'The Odyssey' is anticipated to be released in theatres. The epic, which will be shown in IMAX theatres, is supported by Universal Pictures. The Odyssey is reportedly Nolan's most expensive film till date, with a $250 million budget. IMAX cameras are being used to shoot the entire movie. The movie is expected to be a significant summer event in 2026.
