Hey, did you hear about Christopher Nolan’s new movie ‘Oppenheimer’? It hit theaters on July 21, 2023. The film is all about physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and stars Cillian Murphy in the lead role. People were super excited for this flick, and it totally lived up to the hype! Critics and audiences loved it big time.

So, wanna know how much moolah it made on the first day in India, across all languages? It’s crazy! According to Sacnilk, ‘Oppenheimer’ raked in a whopping 13.50 crore rupees on day one! People just flocked to the cinemas to witness Nolan’s magic on the big screen.

But wait, there’s a twist! Despite ‘Oppenheimer’ being a massive hit in India, it faced stiff competition from another movie called ‘Barbie,’ which stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. ‘Barbie’ did really well internationally, earning 41.4 million USD in 51 markets, while ‘Oppenheimer’ managed 15.7 million USD across 57 markets. Quite the showdown!.

In the Indian market though, ‘Oppenheimer’ outperformed ‘Barbie,’ bringing in 13.50 crore rupees compared to ‘Barbie’s’ 5 crore rupees. Overall, both movies did great, but it looks like ‘Barbie’ won the international battle while ‘Oppenheimer’ dominated the Indian front. Exciting stuff.
