Jurassic World Franchise India Opening Day Comparison: Where does Rebirth land?
Jurassic World: Rebirth has succeeded in registering another good opening for the dinosaur franchise. It has however been affected by showcasing issues.
Dinosaur movies have found a lot of love in India. The first Jurassic Park film back in 1994, took the global box office by storm and India was no exception. The Steven Spielberg directorial became the first Hollywood movie to hit the Rs 10 crore net mark. Since then, the films of the franchise have been doing exceptionally well in India, though not at a historic level like the first part.

The new film from the Jurassic franchise, Jurassic World: Rebirth, took a strong opening of Rs 8.25 crore net, despite the showcasing issues that it faced. If not for the showcasing issues, the movie would have certainly opened in the double digits. Let's analyse how the last 3 Jurassic movies before Rebirth, performed at the box office in India, on their opening day.
Jurassic World (2015) Opened To Rs 10.50 Crore Net In India Including Previews
Jurassic World in 2015 caused global meyhem, grossing in the north of USD 1.7 billion worldwide. The movie was a superhit in India, netting close to Rs 90 crore. It premiered with Rs 4.25 crore net on preview Thursday, which when adjusted for inflation, is comfortably above Rs 10 crore net. It blasted with Rs 6.25 crore net on opening Friday and went on to net Rs 30 crore over the weekend.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) Opened To Rs 12.80 Crore Net In India Including Previews
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom took a good opening too, netting Rs 5.80 crore on preview Thursday, followed by Rs 7 crore on opening Friday, for a day 1 of Rs 12.80 crore net. The movie netted a little over Rs 70 crore in India, in its full run. Certainly a let down from Jurassic World, but still solid.

The Day 1 India Net Box Office Collection Of Recent Jurassic Movies Is As Under
| Year | Movie | Day 1 India Net Collection |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | Jurassic World | Rs 10.50 crore (inc Rs 4.25 crore premieres) |
| 2018 | Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom | Rs 12.80 crore (inc Rs 5.80 crore premieres) |
| 2022 | Jurassic World: Dominion | Rs 11.50 crore (inc Rs 3.50 crore premieres) |

How Has Jurassic World: Rebirth Opened Vis-à-Vis Other Jurassic Movies?
Jurassic World: Rebirth has taken a franchise record Rs 8.25 crore net Friday start, but it doesn't mean much in the larger scheme of things, as the adjusted collections of the previous parts are higher. A part of the reason is definitely the screen-sharing issues with new and holdover releases. But, the elephant in the room is that the interest in the franchise is declining. No doubt that the opening Jurassic World: Rebirth managed in these conditions is good. But, it's not as great as it could have been. The word of mouth seems better than Dominion, so one would hope that it eclipses the lifetime collections of that film in India, atleast.
