Oppenheimer has received its official rating, making it Christopher Nolan’s first R-rated movie in 20 years.
With the release of Oppenheimer just a little under two months away, it won’t be long before audiences get to experience another groundbreaking film from director Christopher Nolan. And it appears that the acclaimed filmmaker is aiming for older audiences this time around, as Oppenheimer is officially rated R for “some sexuality, nudity, and language,” according to a recent teaser for the film.
The upcoming film will be the first Nolan-directed feature to receive an R-rating since Insomnia, which was released over 20 years ago in 2002. While an R-rating does cut off younger audience members, it could serve as appropriate counter-programming to Barbie, which releases on the same weekend this summer. However, with the movie carrying a $100 million budget, word-of-mouth will be crucial to its box office performance, especially in a competitive summer movie season.

Fittingly so as Nolan has always embraced seeing his movie on the big screen, with his productions utilizing the IMAX format to create an epic and immersive experience.
Premium format tickets for Oppenheimer are now on sale. The film will be released exclusively in theaters on July 21. Check out the brand-new teaser below.
