Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" also performed extraordinarily well. Grossing $46 million in its second weekend, it achieved the biggest sophomore outing ever for an R-rated film, surpassing "Deadpool 2." The nearly identical drop of around 44% from its opening weekend underscores a solid, sustained performance.
"Oppenheimer" continues to attract a predominantly male audience, drawn to its intense storytelling, meticulous direction, and substantial runtime. With its global box office now approaching $700-800 million, it stands as a massive success in its own right, reinforcing Nolan’s reputation for creating blockbuster-worthy, intellectually engaging spectacles.
