In its second weekend at the box office, Christopher Nolan's smash hit Oppenheimer beats an R-rated record set by the 2018 superhero movie Deadpool 2.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Oppenheimer has surpassed 2018's Deadpool 2 in one particular box office record. The movie, which was directed by Christopher Nolan, stars Cillian Murphy as father of the atomic bomb J. Robert Oppenheimer, opposite a massive ensemble cast that includes Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, and Robert Downey Jr. Oppenheimer's massive opening weekend grossed a whopping $82.5 million, though it debuted at No.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, the Oppenheimer box office claimed an additional $46.2 million domestically this weekend. This means the movie experienced only a slight 44 percent drop, keeping its place at No. 2 in its second weekend. It has also scored the best second weekend at the domestic box office for any R-rated movie, beating out Deadpool 2's previous record-holding gross of $43.5 million.
Oppenheimer Isn't Going Anywhere Oppenheimer is also performing extremely well overseas this weekend. Its worldwide gross has now reached an estimated $400.4 million, becoming the highest-grossing movie for the director in 29 markets. It's his biggest non-superhero movie in even more, in addition to being his second-quickest movie to gross $80 million in IMAX ticket sales.
It remains to be seen how high Oppenheimer can climb at the global box office. However, the runway seems quite clear for it to keep rising throughout August. During the SAG-AFTRA strike, in which actors are fighting for fair pay and not promoting struck projects, upcoming movies could either be impacted or delayed, leaving a lot of room for both Barbie and Oppenheimer to grow.
This has already been borne out by the Haunted Mansion box office this weekend. The Disney movie was one of the first to be significantly impacted by the strike and opened below expectations behind the combined might of Barbie and Oppenheimer.
