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! In a market dominated typically by Action-event films or Superhero films, ‘Barbie’ has defied odds with its Box office collections to become the second-biggest Opening ever for a Hollywood female-oriented film.
