Box Office Trends: Jurassic World: Rebirth leads the show, followed by F1, Metro In Dino and Sitaare Zameen Par
The Scarlett Johansson led Jurassic World: Rebirth has taken a solid start at the box office in India, as very early trends are indicating the opening day business in the range of Rs 9.00 crore to Rs 10.00 crore. The business of this dinosaur saga has been impacted due to the rather fractured showcasing on the release day due to internal politics of the national chains, but yet, the film has done well to fight all odds and emerge a winner on the opening day. The film is doing well all across the board, be it the national chains or the non-national chains, and is looking to pack a punch with good gains over the weekend. Based on audience demand, there is a possibility for Jurassic World to see a spike in showcasing too at high performing properties in urban centres. Jurassic has always been a big franchise in India since 1994, and the biz of the newest film just proves the strong recall value among the cinema-goers. The second-best performing film of the day is F1, as the film is at par the Thursday numbers as per early trends, with a slight shot of even showing a surge in business. This is happening despite a big dip in the showcasing all across the board, and the Friday hold indicates that the film is here to stay and put up an unimaginable total by the end of its run. The 8th day total of F1 in India is expected to be in the vicinity of Rs 3.50 crore, with IMAX centres continuing to dominate the business and the film will be showing a big surge on Saturday and Sunday. It's a tight fight for the second spot as the Anurag Basu directed Metro In Dino is also looking to collect in the range of Rs 3.50 crore to Rs 4.00 crore. However, one must note that these numbers are coming with almost 2x the showcasing of F1 at most of the properties in urban centres. It's a low opening for Metro In Dino, but this was always expected from a non-starcast film and the eyes are on the reports to translate into footfalls over the weekend. Sitaare Zameen Par was steady at the box office with collections of Rs 2.00 crore to Rs 2.25 on its 3rd Friday, however much like Metro In Dino, the film has got more showcasing than what it needs in the third week. A tighter scheduling for the Aamir Khan would have helped it pose higher occupancies in the urban markets. Much like the last 2 weekends, there will be big surge in the business of SZP on Saturday and Sunday, and the film will aim to hit the Rs 150 crore mark by the end of third week. There will be reshuffling of showcasing on Saturday and Sunday, as the two Hollywood biggies are running the show at the moment in India. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Dolby Cinema's first screen in Pune offers new level of immersion, but how does it stack up against IMAX?
Dolby recently opened its first theatre in India at City Pride, Pune, with a lot of buzz around its Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technology. But for most moviegoers, what does this actually mean for the experience, and is it really that different from what you get at other premium cinemas or even IMAX? India's first Dolby Cinema combines Dolby Vision and Atmos for a premium movie experience with stunning visuals and 3D sound.(Unsplash) What Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos mean for your movie night Let's start with Dolby Vision. Think of it as an upgrade to how you see movies. Dolby Vision is a type of high dynamic range (HDR) technology that brings out brighter highlights, deeper blacks, and a much wider range of colours than what you get with standard cinema screens. The secret lies in its dynamic metadata, which means the picture adjusts scene by scene, so every frame looks its best. You should be able to notice details in shadows, vibrant colours, and a level of clarity that makes even familiar films feel new. Now, pair that with Dolby Atmos. Think of this as an extension of surround sound: a three-dimensional audio experience. Instead of sound coming from just the front or sides, Dolby Atmos uses speakers all around and even above you. Sounds move through the room, so when a plane flies overhead or rain falls, you actually feel it happening around you. Each sound can be placed and moved anywhere in the theatre, making you feel like you are right in the middle of the action. When both technologies come together, your movie should look and sound the way the director intended. How does this compare to other cinemas and IMAX? Many high-end cinemas in India already offer 4K projection and some form of surround sound. But Dolby Vision goes a step further than standard HDR or regular 4K, with its dynamic scene-by-scene adjustments and a higher colour range. Dolby Atmos, meanwhile, offers more precise sound placement than traditional 5.1 or 7.1 surround systems, thanks to its object-based audio and overhead speakers. IMAX is the other big name in premium cinema. IMAX screens are known for their sheer size and their own digital remastering process which makes images sharp and bright. IMAX sound is powerful and all-pervading but it is channel-based, not object-based. This means Dolby Atmos can offer more flexibility in placing sounds exactly where they need to be, while IMAX often wins on sheer scale and impact. Dolby Cinema focuses on creating a perfectly balanced experience, with both visuals and sound tuned for immersion and comfort. This doesn't mean IMAX is not as good, but perhaps it's safe to say it's about spectacle and scale. Essentially, it's about your preference. So, if you want the most lifelike colours and pinpoint sound placement, Dolby Cinema stands out. If you crave a larger-than-life screen and booming audio, IMAX still has its loyal fans. Both are a big leap from standard theatres, so you get a good experience either way.

Aamir Khan is coming back after his hit movie Sitaare Zameen Par. Now, he will surprise fans with a small role in Rajinikanth's new movie Coolie. The makers have relased Aamir's first look as Dahaa in the film. He looks cool and tough in a black vest, wearing glasses, and smoking a pipe. This new look is very different from his recent roles. The movie will come to IMAX theaters worldwide on August 14. Aamir Khan in an interview said that he accepted the small role quickly because he is a big fan of Rajinikanth. He did not even need to hear the script. Aamir said when the director Lokesh approached him and told it was a Rajinikanth movie and asked him to do a cameo, he said yes right away. He did not share more about his character.

Box Office: Brad Pitt's F1 scores an excellent trend at the Indian box office in week one; Shows NO DROP from Monday to Thursday
The Brad Pitt led F1 has shown a fantastic trend at the box office in India, as the film refused to show any drop in collections on the weekdays. After scoring Rs 20.75 crore over the opening weekend, F1 collected Rs 3.25 crore on Monday, followed by Rs 3.50 crore each on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. With this, the 7-day total of the Brad Pitt starrer stands at Rs 34.50 crore, and the film will be aiming to hit a half century at the Indian box office much before the end of second week. F1 is scoring phenomenal occupancies at the IMAX properties, which have contributed 30 percent to the total business, and it is holding on to all the premium screens in the second week too. Interestingly, there is a drop in showcasing outside the IMAX format in India owing to competition from another Hollywood film, Jurassic World: Rebirth and a Hindi film in the form of Metro In Dino. In an ideal world, the film should have held better showcasing in week two, but internal politics of national chains have resulted in a drop in showcasing, but there the film is certain to get back a large chunk of shows over the weekend due to demand from the audiences. The film should be looking to hold itself above the Rs 3 crore mark on Friday, and then show a surge to Rs 5 crore each on Saturday and Sunday. F1 is a Bonafide HIT in India, and will now be aiming to attain the super hit tag, if it shows the same legs in week two and week three as well. These are excellent figures for a non-franchise/non IP film in India, and the trend indicates a vast acceptance from the cinema going audience. The film in all likelihood will show strong legs in the coming few weeks, and attempt to hit the Rs 70 crore mark by the end of its run in India. Here's a look at day wise box office collections of F1 in India Day Amount Friday Rs 5.50 crore Saturday Rs 7.25 crore Sunday Rs 8.00 crore Monday Rs 3.25 crore Tuesday Rs 3.50 crore Wednesday Rs 3.50 crore Thursday Rs 3.50 crore Week One Rs 34.50 crore
