Barbie vs Oppenheimer: Find out who’s ruling the worldwide box office!

Box-office clashes aren’t a new thing in showbiz. It has been happening ever since quantity movies started being made in the film industry. Be it Hollywood, Bollywood, or any globally recognized cinema, clashes at the box office are bound to happen. The latest one that has been the talk of the town for a long time now is the epic ‘Barbie’ vs ‘Oppenheimer’ clash. While there was a clear divide before the two English films hit the screens, we also have a clear winner now.

The films, which belong to two completely different genres, are pitted against each other at the box office. While ‘Barbie’ is directed by Greta Gerwig, Christopher Nolan has helmed ‘Oppenheimer’. And while the Cillian Murphy-led biographical drama Oppenheimer is inching closer to the Rs 60 crore mark in India within four days of its release, Margot Robbie’s Barbie has crossed the Rs 20 crore mark as of its fourth day of release. But that’s not the case globally. Barbie has taken over internationally.
