Box Office: 'Jurassic World Rebirth' Scores Good Opening In India; Set To Exceed Weekend Expectations Worldwide

Mumbai, July 5 - There are very few film franchises which are critic-proof, and Jurassic World is one of them. Despite the mixed reviews, the latest instalment of the franchise Jurassic World Rebirth is set to exceed the industry projection by a good margin at the worldwide box office.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, the sci-fi adventure movie had a Wednesday release in most of the markets, including the domestic (North America). Through Friday, the film has already grossed $162 million worldwide and is now projected to hit $300+ million 5-day opening weekend.



Before the release, Universal Pictures and the Hollywood trade agencies were projecting $250 million - $260 million worldwide, which is set to be topped when actuals arrive on Monday. The current trend indicates $140 million - $150 million domestic and $160 million - $170 million overseas, for the worldwide opening weekend in the range of $300 million - $320 million.

In India, the fourth Jurassic World film had a good opening with around 11 crore gross ($1.30 million) on Friday, and the 3-day opening weekend is looking to be in the range of 40-45 crores gross (~$5 million), which is a good result and one of the biggest opening weekends of the year for a Hollywood title.
