The Indian box office is now ruled by two recent Hollywood movies, which is rare unless there are pandemics or major Indian movies are not released. Jurassic World Rebirth and F1, both of which have been performing well, notably in premium formats like IMAX, are the films that have captured audiences' attention this week.

Jurassic World Rebirth has a strong start

With net sales of Rs. 9.25 crore (excluding paid previews), Jurassic World Rebirth has the best opening weekend in the franchise's history. In comparison, the first weekend of the 2022 edition of the same series made a net profit of Rs. 8.25 crore. However, paid previews, which generated an extra net profit of Rs. 3.50 crore, contributed to that figure being inflated. The 2022 movie's weekend total, which included those previews, came to Rs. 36 crore net, a number that Jurassic World Rebirth now has the chance to surpass.

The series never quite lived up to its early excitement with the subsequent episodes, beginning in 1994 with a record-breaking performance in India. In any case, the entire "Jurassic World" series has performed well in India, and the most recent iteration is no exception.

Week Two sees no change in Formula One.

The second week of F1 has been rather quiet. The movie earned a net amount of Rs. 3.25 crore on its second Friday, bringing its total net revenue to Rs. 37.75 crore. Its eighth-day business was primarily driven by IMAX screenings at multiplexes, which accounted for almost 90% of it. It has been extremely popular in national chain stores.

The F1 box office results are broken down by day as follows:

Paid Previews: Around 2.5 million rupees

Friday: around Rs. 5.25 crore

Approximately Rs. 7.25 crore for Saturday.

Sunday: Around Rs. 8 crores

Monday: Around 3.25 crore rupees.

Tuesday: estimated at Rs. 3.50 crore

Rs. 3.50 crore is the approximate amount for Wednesday.

Rs. 3.50 crores is the estimated amount for Thursday.

The first week's total is about Rs. 34.50 crores.

Second Friday: Around Rs. 3.25 crore.

Approximate grand total: Rs. 37.75 crore

The future of Formula One in spite of rivalry

Despite competition from Superman, which is predicted to rule the majority of IMAX screens over its opening weekend, F1 is expected to perform well in its second week, with net revenues of about Rs. 20 crore. The movie will be able to maintain its momentum if it makes a comeback to IMAX theaters the next week. The movie is expected to be a huge hit in India, according to industry analysts, with a net final revenue of Rs. 70–75 crore, cementing its position as a box office hit.

Due to Jurassic World Rebirth and F1, respectively, Hollywood has almost taken the top spot at the Indian box office, which is unusual for domestic movies. Jurassic World Rebirth is likely to gain momentum over the weekend, while F1 maintains its steady progress.
