Hollywood's 2025 summer showdown saw Jurassic Park: Rebirth stomp past Superman’s reboot in Indian theaters, despite the Man of Steel’s solid debut. Mission: Impossible still reigns as the top earner, but the dinosaur sequel’s star power (Scarlett Johansson) and franchise nostalgia gave it an edge over James Gunn’s fresh take on Superman.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about superheroes vs. dinosaurs—it’s a snapshot of what’s resonating with global audiences right now. Superman’s "good but not great" opening hints at franchise fatigue or maybe just tougher competition, while Jurassic Park proves old giants can still roar. For studios, it’s a reminder that reboots need more than flashy visuals to dethrone legacy hits.

Superman's new movie is off to a flying start in India, raking in around ₹7 crore on its opening day—outshining two fresh Bollywood releases. Analysts think it could hit ₹35-40 crore over the weekend if word-of-mouth stays strong and audiences keep showing up.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a superhero winning at the box office—it’s a test of whether big Hollywood franchises can still dominate in a market crowded with local films. If Superman keeps this up, it could signal a shift in what Indian audiences are craving right now.
