Oppenheimer continues to be an explosive success at the Indian box office, grossing Rs. 35.50 crores in its second week and reaching a two weeks total of Rs. 121 crores. The Christopher Nolan directed film dropped just 59 per cent from its first week, which is an excellent hold for a film with a strong start. It gets better when looking weekly drop for Thursday, which was just 50 per cent. The film now stands just Rs. 12 crores short of Fast X to become highest grossing Hollywood film, which it could arrange at the earliest by Sunday.

In terms of NETT collections, the atom bomb pic has raked in Rs. 99.50 crores in two weeks, nearly reaching the coveted Rs. 100 crores mark. At the time of writing, the film has surpassed the three-digit figure milestone on its Third Friday. Prior to Oppenheimer, twelve other Hollywood films earned Rs. 100 crores NETT in India, all of them being action-adventure franchise films. For a three hours talky biopic drama to join them is simply mind-blowing and a testament to the box office clout of Nolan in India.

A significant contributor to Oppenheimer's success is its popularity in the IMAX format, with a mere 24 IMAX screens accounting for 24 per cent of the total business in India. In its second week, the large-screen format share soared to nearly 40 per cent, and this upward trajectory is expected to persist in the weeks ahead as the IMAX version is holding better than the standard version. The film is well on its way to becoming the highest-grossing IMAX release ever in India, poised to surpass the previous record holder Avatar 2.

The box office collections of Oppenheimer at the Indian box office are as follows:

Week One: Rs. 85.50 crores
2nd Friday: Rs. 5.50 crores
2nd Saturday: Rs. 9 crores
2nd Sunday: Rs. 9 crores
2nd Monday: Rs. 3.25 crores
2nd Tuesday: Rs. 3 crores
2nd Wednesday: Rs. 3 crores
2nd Thursday: Rs. 2.75 crores
Total: Rs. 121 crores
