Margot Robbie’s Barbie Topples Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer
The summer box office went ballistic, after Barbie and Oppenheimer made its way through the opening weekend, earning millions of dollars.

While Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer featuring Cillian Murphy made a staggering $80M within three days.
While the historic box office bonanza starts getting intense with Barbie making a legendary collection, Christopher Nolan strikingly grabs the attention of headlines.

Apparently, Nolan’s movie surpassed its own expectations by earning $80M and thus turning into the director’s biggest non-Batman debut.

And evidently, so, the director’s latest venture broke his own box office record, set by his previous movies. Already garnering a lot of buzz prior to its release, Nolan was sure to make history with his latest movie. However, Margot Robbie’s fans believe the director’s rare record-breaking performance wasn’t his credit, instead, it was an impact of Gerwig’s Barbie.

Creating a bizarre theory, Barbie fans seem to believe that Nolan simply earned $80M during the opening weekend due to Oppenheimer‘s social media association with Barbie. Fans believe getting its name tagged alongside Greta Gerwig‘s blockbuster, is what got Nolan his rare record-breaking moment.
While most fans seem to rejoice in both Barbie and Oppenheimer‘s success, few fans fail to tackle the box office competition without getting personal. However, people are still eagerly waiting to watch the ultimatum of which movie finally wins the box office crown.
