“Oppenheimer” in first place in the box office ranking?

To get to the top of the ranking of the highest-grossing films, “Oppenheimer” would also have to beat another highly profitable production, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”.

Despite its success so far, it is not the most profitable production. Two titles achieved better financial results: “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises”. Both productions grossed over a billion dollars. “Oppenheimer” had a slightly more difficult task, considering that the film has a higher age rating, which in turn partially limits its box office profits. So far, Christopher Nolan’s production has managed to beat “Bohemian Rhapsody” from 2018. The film grossed $910.8 million at the time.
