Both movies reached the milestone within a month of release.
The Big Picture It's another milestone for "Barbenheimer" as Oppenheimer, the epic thriller about the Manhattan Project, its director J. Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb, has joined its theatrical soulmate Barbie in the Letterboxd One Million Watched Club, becoming the second fastest of all time to reach the milestone—behind Barbie.
Oppenheimer continues to sell out IMAX screens for the foreseeable future, despite the presence of contractually obligated films like Blue Beetle—which you can see early with Collider—and Gran Turismo taking away some of its screens.
More Milestones Ahead Oppenheimer is also a matter of days away from another unusual milestone, with the film set to pass the $271 million dollar mark this week which will place it as the highest-grossing domestic film of all time to never reach the top spot at the box office.
The two twisted twins are both on track to earn a combined $2 billion at the global box office, and both are also being touted as contenders to be featured players at the 2024 Academy Awards, with the performances of Murphy and Gosling in particular drawing acclaim from critics. Oppenheimer continues to play in theaters.
