Jurassic World: Rebirth
The action takes place five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion. If you don't remember that, don't worry, no one does. In fact, no one remembers much about any of the seven Jurassic movies other than the first, 32 years ago. Awesome, that. But since then, retreads, remakes and regrets. Rebirth? Nah. Maybe remix. Motivated by the promise of huge profits, a team comprising sincere paleontologists, oddly ethical mercenaries and a venal Big Pharma rep travel to the forbidden equatorial island to collect the DNA of three fierce dinosaurs that will allow them to create a cure for heart disease. Or something. On the way there, though, they stop to rescue some people in a capsized sailboat. These four two-dimensional extras contribute precisely nothing to the movie. Maybe the filmmakers thought the runtime was too short. Or that they didn't have enough dinosaur food. Okay, no one goes to a Jurassic movie for the acting, and the CGI scenes with a variety of ugly-saurs are state-of-the-art, as you would expect. So if that's why you go to the movies, you won't be disappointed. Some good jolts, a few nice getting-eaten scenes and the odd easter egg from past flicks. But none of it is particularly scary, interesting or emotionally engaging. The problem with such flicks has always been the dopey drama during the lulls in action. An overqualified, very good-looking cast that includes Scarlett Johannson and Mahershala Ali helps the movie here but does not save it. I'll close with the witticism that virtually every film critic (including me) has used for virtually every JP movie: Just because

Box Office: Jurassic World: Rebirth scores sensational second weekend in India; Scarlett Johansson film collects Rs 67 crore in 10 days
The Scarlett Johansson-led Jurassic World: Rebirth is recording a spectacular run at the box office in India, as the film collected Rs 16.75 crore in its second weekend, taking the 10-day total collection to Rs 67.20 crore. The dinosaur saga jumped from strength to strength over the weekend, and is now on track to become the second biggest Jurassic World film in India. In 10-days flat, it has surpassed the collections of Jurassic World: Dominion (Rs 66 crore), and will soon top the numbers of Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom (Rs 82 crore). The film will be looking for a finish in the vicinity of Rs 85.00 crore in India. Jurassic is a strong franchise in India right from the 90s, and the creature feature is among the rare from Hollywood that has an appeal in the mass belts too. For Jurassic World: Rebirth, the Hindi version has also put up reasonable numbers, keeping the film in the race for emerging the second biggest from the franchise. The trend of Jurassic World in India is in sync with the global trend, as the film continues to overperform vis-à-vis all the predictions. While the critic reviews appear to be mixed from the word go, the audience feedback is a lot better, making it one of the rarest critic-proof franchises of the world. The film is continuing to clock numbers in India battling all sorts of competition – right from F1 to Superman. Interestingly, it has not got an IMAX release too, and the premium big screen format could have escalated the business further by at-least 10 percent. Jurassic World: Rebirth is a HIT in India, and the trend in the coming two weeks will decide if it has enough legs to emerge a Super-Hit venture. Week One: Rs 50.45 crore 2nd Friday: Rs 2.75 crore 2nd Saturday: Rs 6.75 crore 2nd Sunday: Rs 7.25 crore Total: Rs 67.20 crore

Jurassic World: Rebirth crosses USD 500 million at worldwide box office at end of second weekend, Scarlett Johansson led dinosaur saga is a global success
Scarlett Johansson's latest outing, Jurassic World: Rebirth, has proved its global dominance with an impressive box office run. The movie continued to gain traction ever since it hit the cinemas, standing true to its franchise. Jurassic World: Rebirth zooms past the Rs 500 million mark at the worldwide box office Directed by Gareth Edwards, Jurassic World: Rebirth was released in cinemas worldwide in the first week of July. Continuing its glorious run, the sci-fi movie had stormed past the Rs 500 million mark at the worldwide box office by the end of its second weekend. As per estimates, the movie added around USD 68.1 million in its second weekend internationally, taking the total overseas cume to USD 297.3 million. In addition, its domestic cume stands at USD 232.20 million currently. The total box office collection of Jurassic World: Rebirth has reached USD 529.50 million at the worldwide box office. Jurassic World: Rebirth emerges as a successful venture The fourth installment in the Jurassic World franchise has emerged as a successful venture at the worldwide box office. The movie is expected to continue doing good business in the coming weeks. However, it will be interesting to see whether the Scarlett Johansson starrer movie can cross the USD 1 billion mark globally. Though the movie is doing well at the box office, it's still far behind its previous installments. For the record, Jurassic World: Dominion had surpassed the USD 500 million in its opening weekend alone. The movie is also performing well in India. Currently, it is standing at around Rs 70 crore net, and it is expected to conclude its theatrical run by entering the Rs 100 crore club at the Indian box office.

Jurassic World Rebirth Box Office Collections: Dinosaurs have a decent first week in India
Jurassic World: Rebirth had a decent first week at the Indian box office, collecting Rs. 61.50 crore (USD 7.20 million) approx. In comparison, Jurassic World: Dominion grossed Rs. 59 crore while Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was Rs. 68 crore, both including Thursday previews. The film had a healthy trend over its first weekend, but weekdays could have done better. The weekend trend gave the film a shot at Rs. 100 crore plus final. However, a sharper-than-expected drop on Monday dampened those prospects, and then the weekdays' trend wasn't particularly great, although there was some stabilising that happened on the last day of the week. The day-wise box office collections of Jurassic World: Rebirth in India are as follows: Rebirth still has a chance of hitting the Rs. 100 crore, but that will depend heavily on how well it holds today, on its second Friday. That, however, won't be easy, with the release of Superman and a couple of other releases taking away the showcasing. Rebirth will cross the previous film in the franchise, Jurassic World: Dominion, which is something it won't do in most of the world. But this isn't saying much, Dominion was a low point for the franchise in India, a market where the Jurassic brand has traditionally performed strongly. The first film in the franchise, Jurassic Park, released in 1994, would adjust to over Rs. 300 crore today. The legacy sequel in 2015, Jurassic World, would also adjust to over Rs. 200 crore today. In that context, Rs. 100 crore will still be below par, and even that isn't assured yet.

Inside Thailand's ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth' Filming Locations And How To Visit Them
The gateway to the eponymous theme park, from the film 'Jurassic Park', 1993. (Photo by Murray ...) 'Jurassic World: Rebirth,' the latest installment in the Jurassic franchise, opened on July 2 and has already grossed more than $318 million worldwide. Its critical reception was stronger than 'Jurassic World: Dominion' in 2022, albeit still lukewarm compared to the audience's reaction, which continues to pack theatres for dinosaur action. Will moviegoers turn into set-jetters, eager to explore the film's exotic backdrops across Thailand that brought the fictional 'Ile Saint-Hubert' to life? Indeed, interest in 'Jurassic World Rebirth' is not stopping at the box office. Google Trends data shows breakout searches for everything from cast details and trailer footage to filming locations. Thailand was already enjoying a pop culture spotlight earlier this year thanks to 'The White Lotus' Season 3, which aired in February and was filmed primarily on Koh Samui. Now, 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' puts another region of Thailand, Krabi, in the spotlight, raising the question of whether the country is on the verge of yet another tourism surge. Tourism Authority of Thailand listed all filming locations including Ban Ba Kan in Northern Ao Luek that provided the terrain for fast-paced jungle chase scenes, or the famous Railay Beach which often featured prominently in aerial shots throughout the film. However, the film's primary locations in Thailand all lie within national parks or protected areas. Visiting them responsibly is essential. Here is where 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' was filmed, and how to visit each site with care for the environment. Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, Krabi Khao Phanom Bencha National Park showcases its beauty during the movie's jungle treks and dense rainforest sequences. Its towering trees, misty peaks, and cascading waterfalls were a natural fit for the film's deep-island terrain, with hiking trails that lead to hidden caves and panoramic viewpoints. The five-tiered, over 260-feet Huai To Falls was the filming location where Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) falls through the trees and lands in a pool of water. Huay To Waterfall in Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, Krabi. The park is about 12 miles north of Krabi Town, spanning over 50,000 acres. It is the smallest national park in Thailand, yet it is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including white-handed gibbons, stump-tailed macaques, mouse deer, wild boars and over 120 bird species. With only 20,000 annual visitors and minimal infrastructure, Thailand's smallest national park may not be ready for a blockbuster tourism surge. If set-jetters begin arriving in large numbers, the park's fragile ecosystem and limited facilities could face serious strain. In delicate ecosystems like this, responsible travel is not just recommended, but required. Ko Kradan, Hat Chao Mai National Park, Trang Kradan Island (Koh Kradan) is prominently featured during the beach landing scenes and coastal hideouts. Sunset Beach is where Duncan Kincaid's (Mahershala Ali) boat crashed. However, according to an interview with production designer James Clyne by Conde Nast Traveller, most of it is CGI. Travelers eager to visit the beach will not find it exactly as it appears in the film. Aerial view of beautiful sea at Ko Kradan island in Trang province Thailand The island is part of Hat Chao Mai National Park in Trang Province, about a 45-minute boat ride from the mainland. Its white-sand beaches, coral reefs and crystal-clear waters provided the perfect cinematic backdrop for the film's opening moments, as characters arrive on the fictional island's ('Ile Saint-Hubert') shores. But with growing attention comes greater responsibility. The coral ecosystems here are delicate and increasingly vulnerable to warming seas, pollution and tourist activity. Travelers visiting this island should help protect it by choosing reef-safe sunscreen, avoiding contact with corals while swimming or snorkeling and refraining from standing on or collecting marine life. Ko Kradan's natural beauty is already vulnerable, a fact made clear by its annual closure to tourism from August 1 to September 30. The two-month break is part of a conservation effort to allow its ecosystems time to recover and regenerate. Ao Phang Nga National Park, Phang Nga Bay Ao Phang Nga National Park has already appeared in the 1974 James Bond film titled 'The Man with the Golden Gun', and now it adds another Hollywood title to its résumé. Its towering limestone karsts rising from emerald waters were the backdrop of several scenes in 'Jurassic Park:Rebirth'. James Bond island with traditional Thai wooden longtail boat and beautiful sand beach in Phang Nga ... More Bay, Thailand. 'It is already a famous destination as there is lots of boat tours in the bay. However, some parts are more crowded than other. The area around James Bond Island and Koh Panyee tends to be overcrowded but there is still area more preserved around Koh Yao Noi,' advised Elisa Lopez, product manager for Thailand at EXO Travel. The park is also home to Thailand's largest native mangrove forest, a critical ecosystem that supports a wide range of wildlife. The park hosts around 180 bird species, including the rare mangrove pitta and seven types of kingfishers, as well as smooth-coated otters, dusky leaf monkeys and crab-eating macaques. Rare sightings of dugongs and finless porpoises highlight the park's marine importance. The park is easily accessible from both Phuket and Krabi. The main access point, Tha Dan Pier in Phang Nga Town, is roughly 40 miles northeast of Phuket and about 60 miles northwest of Krabi. Klong Root, Krabi Kayaking on Klong Root, Krabi Klong Root offers a quieter moment in the film, capturing scenes of peaceful freshwater canals. It is where the surviving protagonists of the film attempt to evade dinosaurs by walking chest-deep in water in the mangrove forest. Klong Root features jungle-lined streams and crystal-clear waters, making it a popular spot for kayaking and swimming. The village of Nong Thale, where the entrance is located, is about 10 miles from Krabi Town. Jurassic-Themed Tourism Grows Beyond Filming Locations Beyond the filming locations, Bangkok is preparing to take the franchise experience a step further. 'Jurassic World: The Experience,' a sprawling 65,000 sq ft immersive exhibition featuring animatronic dinosaurs, VR-enhanced sets and full-scale recreations of Isla Nublar, is set to open on August 8. The installation marks a strategic move to attract set-jetters, leveraging the global buzz around the film to drive a new wave of movie-inspired tourism. Hotels are also gearing up to welcome set-jetters drawn by 'Jurassic World: Rebirth.' At Banyan Tree Krabi, guests can book a Jurassic-themed experience that includes a half-day longtail boat excursion to Hong Island, a three-hour tour of Klong Root, and a custom guidebook detailing filming locations for those planning to explore the sites independently. Aerial view of Banyan Tree Krabi "It didn't surprise us at all that the film's producers would call on Krabi as the setting for a dinosaur habitat," said Haruethai Maneerat, general manager at Banyan Tree Krabi. "I can't count the number of times I've had guests remark that the landscape is so abundantly natural."
