It was really a spectacle to witness two giant movies with so much hype racing to climb the ladder at the box office.BarbieandOppenheimerstill worked, of course, with a bit of internet magic as both the movies came to be the pop-cultural phenomenon.“People had forgotten what it was like pre-COVID,”Nolan told Variety.“Not that long ago, there often was more than one big film opening on a weekend. That can be stressful for filmmakers, but it’s better for theaters.”
“It’s clear from the box office that audiences are looking for things they haven’t seen before.

But you may’t deny filmgoers’ desire for novelty.”

Nolan has been a great observer of the audience and he established his box office dominance for many years with his acclaimed movies. So, evidently, he knows the root of the success of commercial cinema.
