About Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer’s global gross was approximately $913 million, making it Nolan’s third-highest-grossing film, behind only the Dark Knight sequels. It is the third-biggest film of the year behind Barbie and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and is the most successful biopic of all time, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody. IMAX has seen the biggest profits ever from Oppenheimer, with over $179 million globally.
Earlier this month, Oppenheimer dominated the Oscars 2024 with seven awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Actor in a Leading Role, Actor in a Supporting Role, Cinematography, Film Editing and Original Score. Christopher Nolan won Best Director, Cillian Murphy won Best Actor, and Robert Downey Jr. won Best Supporting Actor. Oppenheimer also led the way in the 2024 Oscar nominations, with the film receiving a total of 13 nominations.
The Hindustan Times review of Oppenheimer states, “Oppenheimer is Nolan’s least accessible film to date and perhaps his bravest. The key to his brilliant filmmaking style is that even if you don’t follow every beat of his films, there are always concepts, ideas, and worlds to enjoy and absorb. They work at many levels. The broad strokes of his films work for a wide audience, while also providing additional layers and artistry for those willing to go deeper.
