New Delhi: On July 21, two of the most highly awaited Hollywood films, directed by Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan, respectively, finally hit theatres. There has been a lot of buzz and anticipation for these two movies. There was a greater thirst for them than ever before. At the Indian box office, however, Christopher Nolan’s picture has triumphed over Greta Gerwig’s. There was a massive gap in the two films’ box office takings in India.
Early estimates and data from Sacnilk suggest that on day 10 of its cinema debut in India, Barbie brought in less money than Oppenheimer did.
