has become a full-fledged blockbuster with a fighting chance of joining the billion-dollar club.

"Oppenheimer" has earned a staggering $926 million at the global box office after only 10 weeks of release.

It's the year's third-highest grossing film, far outperforming big-budget tentpoles like Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" ($845 million)

the 10th "Fast and Furious" film ($704 million), and "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" ($576 million)

To reach $1 billion, "Oppenheimer" must generate an additional $74 million globally.

this would necessitate people continuing to show up for "Oppenheimer" for several more weeks.

Global ticket sales have dropped by about 20% in recent weeks, which is better than most films at this point in their theatrical cycles.

so international audiences will be crucial in propelling the film to ultimate box office glory.

It is still consistently selling tickets in China, Italy, and Germany.
