The box office landscape in India this July has been electrified by the Hollywood-Bollywood faceoff, and the numbers say it all. While some Bollywood releases are struggling to maintain momentum, ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ is racing ahead, dominating the Indian box office with powerful collections and consistent audience pull. In contrast, ‘Metro In Dino’, despite a promising multi-starrer cast, is facing a sharp decline in earnings. Here’s a complete, day-wise breakdown of the key films currently in theatres — including ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’, ‘Metro In Dino’, ‘Sitare Zameen Par’, and ‘F1’.
‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Roars Loudest at the Indian Box Office
Universal Pictures’ ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ is turning into a box office beast in India. Released on July 4, the film has managed to outpace all competitors — Bollywood or Hollywood — since day one. Packed with adrenaline, visual spectacle, and a globally recognized franchise backing, it has clicked with Indian audiences, especially in metro cities.
Day-Wise Earnings Report:
Day 1 (Thursday): ₹9.25 crore
Day 2 (Friday): ₹13.5 crore
Day 3 (Saturday): ₹16.5 crore
Day 4 (Sunday): ₹—
Day 5 (Monday): ₹4.1 crore
Day 6 (Tuesday): ₹4.39 crore
Total India Box Office Collection (till Tuesday): ₹47.49 crore
Even with the usual weekday slowdown, ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ continues to dominate multiplex chains and IMAX screens. The weekend surge helped catapult the film past rivals, and strong overseas reception further fuels its buzz domestically.
‘Metro In Dino’ Slips Despite Weekend Jump
Anurag Basu’s ‘Metro In Dino’, which opened in cinemas on July 4, had a modest start and could not capitalize on early momentum. Despite featuring an ensemble cast of Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Ali Fazal, the film’s earnings have trended downward post-weekend.
Day-Wise Earnings Report:
Day 1 (Thursday): ₹3.5 crore
Day 2 (Friday): ₹5.25 crore
Day 3 (Saturday): ₹6 crore
Day 4 (Sunday): ₹7.25 crore
Day 5 (Monday): ₹2.5 crore
Day 6 (Tuesday): ₹2.9 crore
Total India Box Office Collection (till Tuesday): ₹22.9 crore
While weekend earnings gave hope to producers, the steady dip from Monday indicates weak word-of-mouth. Urban audiences seem to be opting for Hollywood releases, especially in Tier-1 cities. If the trend continues, the film might struggle to cross ₹35 crore without a second wind.
‘Sitare Zameen Par’ Still Reigns with ₹151.90 Crore Total
Released on June 20, Aamir Khan’s ‘Sitare Zameen Par’ has become a box office phenomenon. Combining emotional depth with mass appeal, the film continues its robust theatrical run even into its third week. The family-drama genre and Khan’s loyal fanbase have ensured consistent earnings, even on weekdays.
Performance Breakdown:
Opening Day: ₹10.7 crore
Week 1 Total: ₹88.9 crore
Week 2 Total: ₹46.5 crore
Tuesday (Week 3): ₹1.85 crore
Total Collection (till now): ₹151.90 crore
The film’s success across multiplexes and single screens, especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, has been impressive. ‘Sitare Zameen Par’ has already surpassed many expectations and is on track to cross ₹160 crore in the coming days.
‘F1’ Stays Steady With Strong Sports Drama Appeal
The Hollywood sports drama ‘F1’, released on June 27, has emerged as a silent performer in Indian cinemas. With a unique racing backdrop and thrilling emotional narrative, the film has consistently performed well, especially among young adults and male audiences.
Earnings Summary:
Opening Day: ₹5.5 crore
Week 1 Total: ₹35.5 crore
Tuesday (Week 2): ₹2.75 crore
Total Box Office Collection: ₹55.95 crore
Even with limited screen counts compared to bigger films, ‘F1’ is benefiting from word-of-mouth traction, particularly in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. Its performance suggests it could end with ₹70+ crore lifetime collections in India.
Box Office Comparison Table: July’s Key Performers (till July 9)
| Film Title | Release Date | Tuesday Earnings | Total Collection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jurassic World Rebirth | July 4 | ₹4.39 crore | ₹47.49 crore |
| Metro In Dino | July 4 | ₹2.9 crore | ₹22.9 crore |
| Sitare Zameen Par | June 20 | ₹1.85 crore | ₹151.90 crore |
| F1 | June 27 | ₹2.75 crore | ₹55.95 crore |
Final Verdict: Hollywood Dominance at Indian Box Office
This week’s collections clearly showcase a shift in Indian audience preferences. Hollywood films like ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ and ‘F1’ are outperforming domestic offerings not just in metros but across the board. The franchise power of Jurassic World, coupled with immersive CGI and global appeal, is giving it a massive advantage. On the other hand, while Bollywood’s ‘Sitare Zameen Par’ continues its victorious run, newer entries like ‘Metro In Dino’ may struggle without stronger weekday traction.
As the weekend approaches, all eyes will be on whether ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ crosses the ₹60 crore mark, and if ‘Metro In Dino’ can bounce back with any push from weekend audiences.
Stay tuned as we continue to track the box office battleground.
