Christopher Nolan's film Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr., saw a big opening in India, collecting over Rs 13 crore on Day 1.
Despite being behind Greta Gerwig's Barbie at the US box office, Oppenheimer performed comparatively better in South Asian countries including India.
Both Oppenheimer and Barbie created a massive buzz on social media, with worldwide earnings expected to reach around $75 million and over $300 million respectively within the first weekend.
