Jurassic World: Rebirth hit the big screens on July 4 and is comfortably past the ₹50 crore mark in its first week. After minting nearly ₹40 crore in its opening weekend, the dino spectacle did steady collections over its first week, taking its total to ₹54.02 crore. While F1 and Jurassic World: Rebirth continue rule over Hindi releases and compete with each other, James Gunn's Superman will fly into cinema halls on July 11 and would battle hard to take the top spot.

Superman registered a good advance booking and would likely take a strong start of ₹9-11 crore at the India box office, trade expert Sumit Kadel said. He also said that standalone Superman movies have not performed well in India but all is set to change with James Gunn's directorial. Kadel also pointed out that Superman will not face any major competition from F1 and Jurassic World: Rebirth and will look at ₹35-40 crore opening weekend biz in India, which could go up if the word of mouth is good. 

He added, "Hollywood movies perform best in their first weekend and first week in India. Except biggies like Avengers, they don't go all out in the second weekend. I don't think Jurassic World: Rebirth or F1 would be able to put any kind of dent on Superman collections. It will do very good business in the first weekend despite competition from Hindi and English films."
