Box Office: “Oppenheimer” Opens to Explosive $10.5 Mil On March to Oscars, Awards Season Triumph

Share

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is da bomb!

The three hour epic opened to an explosive $10.5 million last night in previews. Not “Barbie” but pretty amazing for a serious original film that has Oscars and awards season in its sights.

“Oppy” should do $40 million over the weekend, and have staying power for the next six months. Nolan, the stars, and all the crafts people can celebrate.
