Oppenheimer was one of the most awaited films this year. All the Christopher Nolan fans were in for a treat this weekend as the film finally released this Friday, with Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. Starring names like Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh and many more, the film looks like an absolute success. Oppenheimer has successfully raked in 60 Crores at the box office weekend collection in India and looks like there is no stopping.
Check out the trailer below…
The numbers are record-breaking for Oppenheimer as it becomes the highest opener for a Christopher Nolan film and a non-fictional film in India. It also is the highest opening weekend for a Hollywood movie on Imax screens & the highest opening weekend (Friday to Sunday) for a Hollywood film in 2023.
Internationally, India is the 3r highest in the world following only the US & the UK markets. The fans are absolutely thrilled to catch this film in the cinemas for a complete experience and the numbers reflect just that!
Denzil Dias, VP & Managing Director, India Theatrical, Warner Bros. Discovery said,
We are beyond thrilled with the box office numbers of both ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Barbie’ at the India Box office and are delighted to see the Indian audiences throng the cinemas to watch these films of completely different genres. While we knew that Christopher Nolan has a huge fanbase in India, ‘Oppenheimer’ has outperformed by becoming the biggest opening for a Nolan film ever!
Oppenheimer has definitely opened with a bang in India. It seems to be edging over Barbie’s collection in India but not globally.
