At number two is Nolan’s 2008 release which is undoubtedly a mass favourite. This was the second film in his Batman trilogy, famously known as ‘The Dark Knight Trilogy’.

This movie practically broke the box office, collecting a huge $ 1,006,234,167, mostly due to the mindblowing performance of late Heath Ledger who played Joker, Batman's arch-nemesis.

It is yet to be seen whether Oppenheimer can cross Nolan’s last few box office triumphs. Given the hype it has created even without large-scale promotions, it sure looks like a winner.
