Christopher Nolan is easily one of the biggest filmmakers on this planet. His films are known for successfully bridging the gap between arthouse sensibilities with blockbuster filmmaking. His upcoming biographical historical drama Oppenheimer is one of the most anticipated films across the globe. The film is scheduled to release theatrically on 21 July and its advance booking started on Sunday.
Craze is so insane for the film among premium audience as Prasad Hyderabad IMAX sold more than 7,000 tickets in 4 hours itself!
The film opened its booking on Sunday morning in IMAX alone and it has already sold around 10,000 tickets in PVR plus INOX alone for the opening day. The weekend ticket sales stand at a staggering 22,500 in IMAX alone. This is a very impressive number for a Hollywood film in India. But since it’s a Nolan film, this number was in a way expected by everyone. It is expected to achieve minimum double-digit figure on its opening day release.
Mission Impossible 7 Set For Huge Start
On the other hand, Tom Cruise‘s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is slated to release globally on 12 July. Its advance booking also started on the same day as Oppenheimer‘s. It has sold approximately 12,000 tickets in the two major multiplex chains for opening day. The weekend sales stand at 25,000 and it’s expected to open with big numbers in India.
