The Barbenheimer craze is all over the world. Both the films have wrecked havoc at the box office. Oppenheimer has collected $788.2 million until now. This means that the Christopher Nolan directorial has become the second highest grossing R-rated film in history beating out Deadpool 2’s $786 million. The top 5 R-rated list now looks like Joker (2019) – $1.07 billion, Oppenheimer (2023) – $788.2 million, Deadpool 2 (2018) – $786 million, Deadpool (2016) – $781 million and The Matrix Reloaded – $738 million. Despite having tough competition in markets like India, Oppenheimer has managed to collect a hefty sum. The Nolan blockbuster has crossed the ₹150 crore mark in India despite facing off box office juggernauts like Gadar 2, OMG 2, Jailer and Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The $800 million mark looks inevitable based on current market trends which means the film can topple Inception’s $837.1 million lifetime collection. This would make the film the highest grossing Nolan film apart from the Dark Knight Trilogy.
Barbie‘s success is both surprising and unsurmountable – $1.34 billion. The Great Gerwig directorial will become the highest grossing movie of 2023 soon after it crosses The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($1.36 billion). Oppenheimer and Barbie has also secured a place in the highest grossing films of 2023. While Barbie is completely out of reach but the Nolan flick can definitely surpass Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Barbie will soon become number one. Now list follows, The Super Mario Bros. Movie – $1.36 billion, Barbie – $1.34 billion, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – $845.5 million, Oppenheimer – $788.2 million and Fast X – $704.7 million. The memes and trends have gone so far that now there is a movie being made called Barbenheimer. I’m not kidding. They’re seriously making a movie about it.
