The WWII thriller is also the fourth-biggest film of the year so far.
The Big Picture Now in its second month of release, director Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is continuing to break box office records worldwide. It’s already the fourth-biggest film of the year so far — an extraordinary achievement for the kind of film that it is — and following its performance this past weekend, Oppenheimer has now broken into the list of the top five R-rated movies of all time.
The film passed the $700 million mark worldwide last Friday, and finished its fifth weekend with a global haul of $718 million. Having made $286 million domestically so far, and another $433 million from overseas territories, the film global haul stands at nearly $720 million. This puts it at the number five spot on the list of the biggest R-rated hits in history, ahead of 2017’s horror blockbuster It, which concluded its global theatrical run with $701 million.
The four movies currently in front of Oppenheimer are The Matrix Reloaded , Deadpool , Deadpool 2 and Joker . Other movies in the top 10 are The Hangover Part II , Logan , The Passion of the Christ , and the Chinese film Detective Chinatown 3 . Going by current trends, Oppenheimer will almost certainly overtake the two Deadpool movies and Matrix 2 before the end of its run, which means that it’ll likely finish as the second-biggest R-rated movie of all time when the dust settles.
Where Does the Movie Stand on the Domestic Side of Things? Domestically, it’s the seventh-biggest R-rated movie ever, behind Deadpool 2 , It , Joker , American Sniper , Deadpool and The Passion of the Christ . It should comfortably be able to crack the top five in the coming days.
Starring Cillian Murphy, the film tells the complex story of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, best known as the father of the atomic bomb, and the crisis of conscience he experienced for his participation in the creation of the world's first nuclear weapons. The movie also features Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and Florence Pugh in supporting roles. You can watch our interview with Nolan here, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
