5th August 2023, Mumbai: The silver screen has been graced with two successful contenders, Barbie and Oppenheimer, captivating audiences for the past two weeks. While both films have enjoyed a decent run, Oppenheimer has held a significant lead, boasting a collection more than double that of Barbie. Let’s delve into their performances on the crucial 15th day at the box office.
The Barbenheimer Phenomenon
Barbie, a Greta Gerwig masterpiece, made a commendable impression during its two-week stint in India, amassing a total of Rs 38.45 Cr. However, despite its massive international collection, the movie’s second week witnessed a sluggish pace. On the fifteenth day, Barbie managed to secure Rs 0.70 Cr in India net, according to early estimates. Its journey seems to have encountered some deceleration. On the other hand, Oppenheimer, helmed by the talented Christopher Nolan, has triumphed with flying colors, garnering a remarkable Rs 102.70 Cr in India net over two weeks. Even on its fifteenth day, Oppenheimer displayed unwavering strength, earning an impressive Rs 2.60 Cr in India net for all languages, as early estimates suggest. The movie’s resounding success continues unabated.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani Surges, Gadar and OMG 2 Await Next Week’s Showdown.
The box office clash with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani has certainly left its mark. As Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh’s latest venture took the theaters by storm, both Barbie and Oppenheimer experienced a slowdown in their box office momentum. Although Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani flourishes, it has inadvertently impacted the performance of the other two films. With Gadar and OMG 2 set to hit the screens next week, the competition is set to intensify further.
The Greatest Hollywood Clash Worldwide
As the box office collections unfold, audiences eagerly anticipate the upcoming battles, where cinematic brilliance and audience preferences collide. Barbie and Oppenheimer have undoubtedly made their mark, leaving an indelible impression on moviegoers. Still, it remains to be seen if Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’s reign can stand the test of time and overcome the upcoming contenders. The box office continues to be an arena of excitement and anticipation, with the fate of films and their creators hanging in the balance.
