The biographical thriller has broken several IMAX records for its opening weekend, both domestically and internationally.
Christopher Nolan's latest film Oppenheimer brought with it a desire among his fans to see it on the biggest screen possible. Nolan – who is a champion of IMAX and film himself – released the movie, which stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, on July 21st in both digital IMAX as well as IMAX 70mm. It was historic for IMAX screens, bringing in 20% of the global gross for Oppenheimer.
“Given the strength of our pre-sales, the ‘A’ CinemaScore, and the historical multiples of Christopher Nolan’s films, we believe this is just the beginning of what ‘Oppenheimer’ can accomplish at the global box office,” said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. “Around the world, we’ve seen sellouts at 4:00 a.m. shows and people travelling hours across borders to see ‘Oppenheimer’ in IMAX 70mm — this is a phenomenon beyond compare in IMAX and we’re just getting started.
