Oppenheimer Leads Indian Box Office, Barbie Trails Behind

Oppenheimer's Success in India

Cillian Murphy-led biographical drama "Oppenheimer" is dominating the Indian box office, surpassing Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's fantasy comedy "Barbie." Within nine days of its release, "Oppenheimer" has collected an impressive total of Rs 84.80 crore in India. The film garnered Rs 73.20 crore in its first week and continued its winning streak, adding Rs 11.60 crore in the second week. The Christopher Nolan directorial has captivated audiences with its stylized portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as 'the father of the atomic bomb,' and his involvement in the historic Manhattan Project.

Barbie's Box Office Reception in India

While "Barbie" received attention worldwide, it is trailing behind "Oppenheimer" at the Indian box office. Within nine days of its release, the film collected Rs 32.20 crore in India. Despite its star-studded cast and imaginative storyline, the film fell short of "Oppenheimer's" remarkable success. Directed by Greta Gerwig, "Barbie" follows the adventures of Barbie and Ken as they navigate the challenges of the real world after being expelled from Barbieland.

Global Box Office Performance

Despite its domestic success, "Barbie" outperformed "Oppenheimer" in terms of worldwide box office collections. "Barbie" collected $95 million at the North American box office, while "Oppenheimer" earned $46 million in its second weekend. Both films were released worldwide on July 21, captivating audiences with their unique narratives and star-studded casts. While "Oppenheimer" immerses viewers in the life of a historical figure, "Barbie" offers a whimsical and imaginative take on the iconic toy character's adventures.
