Oppenheimer made a splash at the Indian box office, opening day one to become the eighth highest-grossing Hollywood debut of all time in the country. It made a bang earning surprisingly Rs. Earned Rs. The opening day collection of around Rs 16.50 crore has set the record for the highest opening day for Hollywood in 2023 surpassing Fast X and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning. In India, Hollywood’s biggest hits are mainly action-adventure franchise films, as the list below shows, for a 3-hour talkie drama to put up these numbers is absolutely unimaginable.
The credit goes to the director of the film, Chris Nolan, who has a huge fan following in India. However, this follow-up is a niche theme and never before had such numbers been produced, especially for an opening. On its very first day, the film surpassed the box office total of Nolan’s previous film, TENET, which, to be honest, had a delayed release in a COVID-hit marketplace. Earlier, his 2017 release Dunkirk collected Rs. 15 crores weekend, which was again crossed on the first day itself.
Given the film’s underwhelming opening, it is unlikely to see substantial growth during the weekend, as urban audience-oriented Hollywood films often do. Still, there will be some increase as the advance amount is higher for Saturday. The first weekend should come in around Rs. 55 crores, which would have been a very good final figure for the film. Advance sales of the film, especially the IMAX format, have been incredible, with shows nearly sold out by the end of the second week.
Here are the top ten opening days for Hollywood in India:
- Avengers: Endgame – Rs. 64.50 crores
- Avatar: The Water Way – Rs. 48.80 crores
- Avengers: Infinity War – Rs. 40.50 crores
- Spider-Man: No Way Home – Rs. 39.40 crores
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – Rs. 34.50 crores
- Thor: Love and Thunder – Rs. 22.40 crores
- Furious 7 – Rs. 16.75 crores
- Oppenheimer – Rs. around 16.50 crores
- Captain Marvel – Rs. 15.60 crores
- Fast X – Rs. 14.80 crores
On the global stage, India has emerged as the largest country in terms of first day viewership for the film in international markets, with over 6 lakh tickets sold on the first day, surpassing that of the United Kingdom. Whereas in terms of gross earnings, India is second only to the United Kingdom. Notably, India is the only major market where Oppenheimer is significantly ahead of Barbie. In contrast, it’s Barbie that dominates in the West, posting record opening numbers, especially in Latin America where it’s the Avengers: Endgame area of numbers.
