The massive success of Oppenheimer has broken Matt Damon's streak of box office duds, which has been going since Stillwater's release in 2021.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The success of Oppenheimer is great news for Matt Damon, as it's broken his streak of box office bombs. The 52-year-old actor is one of the most beloved in Hollywood, but non franchise movies have generally struggled at the box office in recent years. Oppenheimer and Barbie, however, seemed to have proven that with enough buzz circulating the internet, a well-made, original story can still make money.
The supporting cast of Oppenheimer was structured to amplify Cillian Murphy's portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer, with Damon's Leslie Groves being a prime example. The character arrives to help build the foundation for the Manhattan Project and becomes a trusted ally of Oppenheimer, vouching for him multiple times. This isn't the movie star's first time finding success in a supporting role, as Damon also played a small role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.
The overwhelming success of Oppenheimer is fantastic for Damon and speaks to a larger success for the star-driven, well-written, films that he likes . Damon has discussed the rise of streaming making it more difficult for non-franchise films to perform at the box office, and how the loss of DVD income has made it even more challenging for films to make a profit. Luckily, films like Air have been able to find some post-theatrical success on streaming services.
Matt Damon Is A Key Part Of Oppenheimer While Matt Damon is a wonderful part of Oppenheimer in his limited screen time, he's never been at fault for the failure of his other films. Damon is excellent in Air, where it seems like he's at home with fast-paced, witty dialogue and sports talk. He also excelled in the costume epic of The Last Duel, though Jodie Comer was the show-stealer of the film.
