Christopher Nolan's latest epic has made more in IMAX than some films make total.
The Big Picture Oppenheimer has had an explosive two weekends since its release on July 21, with a staggering global take of exactly $400 million in just 9 days, but more interestingly than that, 20% of the film's worldwide total can be attributed directly to the IMAX screenings which are, at this moment in time, almost impossible to buy tickets for. Christopher Nolan's film, based on the life and times of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, has earned $80.
The film had already broken several IMAX records for its opening weekend, both domestically and internationally, and demand for the film shows no signs of slowing down as screenings continue to be sold out for weeks. Demand, in fact, is so high that IMAX just announced the film would be continuing to play on their screens through late summer and into fall.
Oppenheimer Blowing Up IMAX Records To date, Oppenheimer has grossed $47.3 million domestically via IMAX, which accounts for 27.2% of its total domestic gross, with a further $33.4 million overseas, which accounts for 14.8% of its worldwide takings to date.
