For box office experts, “Oppenheimer” is a film without many useful comparisons. It's the second-highest grossing R-rated film in history, behind 2019's “Joker” ($1.07 billion), and has played less like a grim historical biopic and more like an all-audience superhero epic.
Director Christopher Nolan's film, Oppenheimer, is a box office success, grossing nearly $900 million worldwide in less than two months. It has surpassed Nolan's previous film Inception at the global box office, becoming his third-biggest release of all time.
Funnily enough, both movies feature performances by Rami Malek. After hitting $912 million in ticket sales at the global box office this past weekend, writer-director Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (currently playing in theaters everywhere) is now the highest-grossing biopic of all time.
According to Variety, and it's quite clear by just looking at the current numbers, “Oppenheimer” will not be breaking the billion dollar mark at the global box office.
Oppenheimer, the phenomenally successful and critically acclaimed dramatic thriller from Christopher Nolan, has achieved a new record milestone in US theatrical history, as it is poised surpass 2016's Sing to become the highest-grossing domestic movie of all time to never reach the top spot at the box office.
As expected, Barbie has officially toppled The Super Mario Bros Movie as the highest-grossing movie of 2023, while Oppenheimer has crossed the $850 million mark as it eyes an unlikely $1 billion result.
At this rate, the $900 million mark is within reach and $1 billion is closer than box office watchers ever expected. It cost $100 million to produce and will be hugely profitable for Universal, who backed the film, as well as Nolan.
Alongside Cillian Murphy's Oppenheimer, the film is set to feature a wide variety of real-life historical figures and scientists, with a recent trailer for Oppenheimer revealing Albert Einstein's appearance in the upcoming movie.
The renowned scientist appears in the new movie. Oppenheimer has kept cinemagoers talking since its release on July 21 and among those debates will be its key role for Albert Einstein.
Oppenheimer had many achievements in theoretical physics but is remembered as the so-called father of the atomic bomb. Under his directorship, scientists at Los Alamos Laboratory, where the bomb was designed and built, forever changed how people view the world, adding a new sense of precariousness.
Oppenheimer Surpasses Inception as Christopher Nolan's Third Highest-Grossing Film. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer continues to defy expectations as its profits continue to grow. Christopher Nolan's latest cinematic spectacle, Oppenheimer, has surpassed Inception, another one of his masterpieces.
As of Sunday, “Oppenheimer” 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. The film's success comes at a time when major superhero movies and franchise sequels have underperformed.
Chinese ticketing app Maoyan forecasts Oppenheimer will finish its local run with approximately $57 million, which will make it the fourth-biggest U.S. film release in China in 2023 behind Fast X ($139.5 million), Meg 2: The Trench ($116.5 million, but a China co-production) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
Despite his flaws, Oppenheimer was a man of great moral courage. He was deeply opposed to the use of the atomic bomb, and he spoke out against it after the war. He also worked to promote nuclear nonproliferation, and he helped to establish the Federation of American Scientists.
Julius Robert Oppenheimer was a very successful man in his lifetime. Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer served as director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the development of the atomic bomb. His estimatedIQ scores range from 160 to 310 by different measures.
Best known for developing the theory of relativity, he is amongst the top most geniuses the world has recognized. Einstein never took an IQ score test. However, based on his historical records, academics have estimated his score to be around 160.
But Einstein turned against politicians long before that. "The trouble with Oppenheimer is that he loves a woman who doesn't love him — the United States government," Einstein once said, according to the book "American Prometheus," which the movie is based on. That's an "Einstein-level burn," Wellerstein said.
So it was no real surprise that both films utterly smashed the Box Office: Barbie has so far made a whopping $1.4 billion worldwide, while Oppenheimer has made $912 million.
Oppenheimer also has two more peculiar features that certainly inflated its budget: Nolan decided not to use any CGI through the whole story, which makes production considerably more expensive, and he also filmed with IMAX 70mm cameras, which are giving a heck of a job to exhibitors as the premiere date approaches.
How much a company is worth is typically represented by its market capitalization, or the current stock price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. Oppenheimer Holdings net worth as of October 02, 2023 is $0.39B.
'Barbie' beats 'Oppenheimer' in record-breaking, industry-revitalizing showdown. Margot Robbie in Warner Bros. Pictures' “Barbie” and Cillian Murphy in Universal Pictures' “Oppenheimer.” This “Barbie” just scored the biggest domestic opening weekend of 2023.
