LOS ANGELES — Christopher Nolan's films, from "The Dark Knight" to "Inception," have been a force at the box office for a solid two decades. As of Sunday, the dizzying, dialogue-heavy three-hour epic has generated around $300 million at the domestic box office, the fifth-most this year, and topped $777 million globally, the fourth-highest, since its July 21 debut. And that's without ever being the number one film at the domestic box office. "Oppenheimer" is Nolan's third highest-grossing domestic release, behind 2008's "The Dark Knight" and 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises." Both "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises" generated more than $1 billion at the global box office.
