The multiplexes all across the nation had a wide smile on their face as three Hollywood films – Oppenheimer, Barbie and Mission Impossible 7 – got the cash registers ringing at the box office in India. The three films aggregated to a weekend total of Rs 78 crore (Rs 92 crore gross) in India, leading to one of the biggest non-holiday weekends in the post-pandemic world. It was Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer that was leading the box office race as the film scored Rs 48 crore net in three days.
Being a documentary on an American Physicist, these are extraordinary numbers in the Indian market and have come purely due to the cult following for Christopher Nolan. The film opened at Rs 14 crore on Friday followed by Rs 17 crore each on Saturday and Sunday. In the coming two days, Oppenheimer will become Nolan’s highest-grossing film in India topping The Dark Knight Rises (Rs 56 crore).
