Oppenheimer Tickets sell ten times more than Barbie in India

Christopher Nolan’s most-awaited film Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Barbie featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling will release together in the cinemas on July 21, Friday. The two films are set to clash at the theatres but have enjoyed tremendous hype in India. The advance bookings that were opened for Nolan’s Oppenheimer 10 days prior to the official release on July 11 have already crossed six figures according to the reported figures from three prime multiplex chains – PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis.

At the same time, Barbie, which opened its advance booking very recently has done strongly with more than 16,000 tickets in the opening day itself. Notably, Christopher Nolan was asked in a promo event by one of the reporters present if he’d be watching Barbie. The popular director said a straight-forward ‘No’ with an expression of disinterest. When he was asked to elaborate, he said, “Now, you must know I’m not going to answer that question, only to say those who care about the theatrical experience, we’ve been longing for a crowded marketplace with a lot of different movies. That’s what theaters have now, and those of us who care about movies are thrilled about that.”

Cillian Murphy is more excited about watching Barbie

However, the story is very different in the case of Oppenheimer’s leading actor Cillian Murphy. The Peaky Blinders actor is looking forward to the movie. He said in an interview with IGN, “I mean, I’ll be going to see Barbie, 100 per cent. I can’t wait to see it. I think it’s just great for the industry and for audiences, that we have two amazing films by amazing filmmakers coming out on the same day. You can spend the whole day in the cinema – what’s better than that?”

At the same time, Barbie director Greta Gerwig and lead Margot Robbie were clicked with tickets for Oppenheimer in front of a poster of the movie at a cinema hall. It is really good to see such camaraderie among filmmakers and artists despite the two films competing against each other at the theatres.

Warner Brother’s Harry Potter will make a comeback on screens as a television screen. Many years back, J.K Rowlins wrote a book that goes with the same name. It was adapted into a movie, which had eight seven sequels. The first part was released in 2001 and ten years later, the last part was released. These movies were released in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2011.

However, 15 years later, in 2026, a TV series related to the book and the movies will be released. In 2021, it was reported for the first time that a TV series related to Harry Potter would be released. Meanwhile, on February 24, Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced that the TV series based on J.K. Rowling’s arguably finest works will be released in either 2025  or 2026.

“We’ve not been shy about our excitement around Harry Potter,” Zaslav recently addressed Wall Street analysts, mentioning his recent trip to London where he met with members from HBO, Warner Bros, and JK Rowling for a discussion.

“Both sides are thrilled to be reigniting this franchise. Our conversations were great, and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead. We can’t wait to share a decade of new stories with fans around the world on Max.” He added.

The Harry Potter TV series will be aired on Max and HBO

The series might make a debut on Max and HBO. While Max will be the holder of the online streaming rights, HBO will hold the TV rights. The target is to release the series in the first quarter of 2025 but the team won’t shy to delay it to 2026. Talking about the star cast, the members’ names aren’t released yet.

“My understanding is that they’re trying to very much start fresh and I’m sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere,” Radcliffe told ComicBook.com.

“It’s an interesting mix of Brits and Americans, most of whom have some experience working with streamers and many of whom have shepherded projects in the sci-fi/fantasy space,” as per the site update.
