‘Oppenheimer’ fever grips cinemagoers in Saudi, UAE



DAMMAM: Movie fans in the Middle East have been flocking to see director Christopher Nolan’s long-awaited summer blockbuster “Oppenheimer,” which has already broken the 2023 record for advance ticket sales in Saudi Arabia, according to the country’s major cinema chains.

Advanced bookings began last week and, after just six days, the film had become the country’s biggest pre-release seller this year, the Kingdom’s largest operators confirmed.

Cinemagoers in the Kingdom spoke to Arab News after watching the film on July 20 when it was released across the GCC.
