Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' Crosses Huge 20 Crores Gross In IMAX In India

Mumbai, July 31 - Blockbuster filmmaker Christopher Nolan's atom bomb movie "Oppenheimer" is having a blast at the Indian box office. The movie is nearing the 100 crores net mark while it has already crossed this milestone in gross collection.



"Oppenheimer" has been shot entirely in IMAX cameras and not so surprisingly, it is proving to be an IMAX wonder around the globe. In India, the movie has been exceptional as far as the IMAX format is concerned. On its second Monday, it is running with over 60% occupancy in IMAX, and the same response is expected for the next couple of weeks.

In IMAX, "Oppenheimer" has crossed a huge 20 crores gross mark in just 11 days in India, the fastest movie ever to reach this mark. In the first week, it grossed 13.10 crores in IMAX while in the second week, the movie scored 7.50 crores gross (4 days) for a total of 20.60 crores gross in 11 days. It will reach 25 crores mark by the end of the second week and this will be almost 1/4 of its total collection.



Meanwhile, Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible 7" was also released in IMAX and it grossed just 8.15 crores in 9 days before all the IMAX screens were shifted for "Oppenheimer". "MI7", however, got terrific response in the regular format and has crossed 100 crores net mark already.



At present, there are just 24 IMAX theaters in India, and at least 5 more are expected to be added this year. IMAX has been planning to add more screens in the coming years which shows the growing interest of Indians to watch movies in this premium format for rich visual quality.



Meanwhile, "Oppenheimer" has so far grossed approx. 113 crores (~95 crores net) in India in 11 days. It is already the highest-grossing film of Christopher Nolan in the country.
