Oppenheimer extends its run in IMAX 70mm print after its unprecedented success at the box office, where it recently crossed $500 million.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT After its unprecedented success so far in theaters, Oppenheimer has had its theatrical run in IMAX 70mm extended through the end of August. Directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer focuses on the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer and his contributions to the Manhattan Project, where the United States developed its first nuclear weapons. The biopic has garnered critical and box-office success, earning $556.
Now, Variety reports Oppenheimer's theatrical release in IMAX 70mm has been extended through August 31. The news comes after Oppenheimer's IMAX run was extended through August 17. The decision to further extend the film playing in IMAX 70mm underscores just how much of a box office success the movie has become.
Why Oppenheimer Is A Massive Box Office Success Oppenheimer has been referred to as director Christopher Nolan's best work to date, solidifying the movie as a modern classic despite still being in theaters. The movie's success has led to Oppenheimer dethroning Deadpool for an R-rated milestone by having the best second weekend for a rated R film.
There are many key reasons for Oppenheimer's success, but an important attribute is how the film delves into Oppenheimer's perspective. While Oppenheimer features the theoretical physicist's work on the Manhattan Project, the movie focuses more on Oppenheimer's life and how the work he did impacted it. Because Oppenheimer takes a psychological approach to his life, the movie stands out as an artistic and unique biopic.
Now that Oppenheimer is the highest-grossing World War II movie ever made, there's no doubt the film will be remembered long after its extended theatrical run ends. Even so, its extended IMAX 70mm run means Nolan's latest work isn't done succeeding at the box office yet. It remains to be seen just how high Oppenheimer's box office will climb now that it will be in theaters for much longer than initially expected.
