The Numbers Game: A Close Competition
In comparison, F1 had opened with Rs 5.50 crore and wrapped its first weekend at Rs 20.75 crore net in India.

This pattern reveals the distinct viewing habits of Indian audiences when it comes to Hollywood blockbusters.
The race between these two titans has been nothing short of thrilling. Brad Pitt starrer began its box office journey on a good note, garnering 5.5 crores on its opening day in India. The first week concluded with earnings of 53.2 crore. Meanwhile, Jurassic World: Rebirth is competing against Brad Pitt starrer F1: The Movie, which is running in its second week now (released on June 27) and is already past the ₹50 crore mark in India.
