Looks like Hollywood movies are having a winning streak at the Indian box office. From action-packed adventures to high-speed thrillers, films are drawing big crowds and big numbers. Among them, Jurassic World: Rebirth, led by Scarlett Johansson, has made a roaring entry. So far, it has collected Rs 58 crore in India.
According to Sacnilk, Jurassic World: Rebirth added Rs 3 crore on its eighth day. Its opening weekend was with Rs 9.25 crore earned on Friday, Rs 13.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 16.25 crore on Sunday. The impressive run of the film has placed it ahead of another high-profile Hollywood release, F1, which stars Brad Pitt.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, F1 was released in India on June 27. On its eighth day, the film collected Rs 3.5 crore and its total collection at the time stood at Rs 39 crore. The film has continued to maintain its pace and, as per Sacnilk, now stands at around Rs 63.1 crore after fifteen days in Indian theatres.
In F1, Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a former Formula One driver from New York who once enjoyed fame and success on the track. But his career was cut short after a serious crash forced him to retire. Over the years, Sonny stepped away from the sport, trying to rebuild his life while dealing with the trauma and changes that came after the accident.
His life takes a turn when Ruben Cervantes, played by Javier Bardem, reappears. Ruben is not just a friend but also a former teammate. He convinces Sonny to return to the Formula One world not as a driver but as a mentor. Sonny is brought on board to coach a promising new racer, Joshua Pierce, played by Damson Idris.
Apart from the above-mentioned actors, the film stars Tobias Menzies and Kerry Condon in key roles.
Meanwhile, Jurassic World: Rebirth follows a team made up of mercenaries and scientists who are sent to a remote island full of dinosaurs. Their mission is to retrieve prehistoric DNA for a medical project, but they also have to rescue a family stranded on the island. Things do not go as planned, and the group finds itself in a struggle to survive. Along the way, they must face three of the most powerful dinosaur species: Mosasaurus, Titanosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, Jurassic World Rebirth features a star-studded cast including Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Ed Skrein alongside Scarlett Johansson.
As these two big titles continue to perform, a new challenger has entered the scene. Superman, starring David Corenswet, was released this week and has already made an impact. On its opening day in India, the film collected around Rs 7 crore net, according to Sacnilk.
Directed by James Gunn, the film tells the story of Clark Kent, who struggles to find a balance between his Kryptonian origins and his life in Smallville with his human family. Alongside David Corenswet, the film stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. It also features Superman's loyal dog, Krypto.
