Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt star in Christopher Nolan's latest film.
The Big Picture A new featurette released by IMAX showcases what projectionists around the world went through in order to deliver the full Oppenheimer experience for audiences. Wayne Indyk, the Chief Projectionist who works at the Indiana State's Museum, shares the details about what makes Christopher Nolan's latest movie special in terms of presentation and how it has to be handled in order to be projected.
Since Oppenheimer is the longest IMAX film in history, theaters had to modify their projectors in order to fit the gigantic reels, ensuring that viewers who desired to see the movie in the format it was intended to be seen in had the best possible experience. Nolan worked with multiple IMAX cameras while capturing the story of the scientist's work, with some of the biggest movie screens in the world still being sold out for the project three weeks after it premiered.
Besides Murphy playing Oppenheimer himself, the film features strong performances from the rest of the cast, including Emily Blunt in the role of Kitty, Robert's wife. Other notable mentions include Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, Robert's rival and Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock, a woman who sustained an affair with Oppenheimer.
Oppenheimer at the Box Office Despite its lengthy runtime and the R-rating it received from MPAA, Oppenheimer has delivered an impressive performance at the box office. With over $600 million claimed to its name, the movie has broken several records regarding its rating, and it could be going after the record related to the fact that it has never been at the top of the domestic box office chart despite its strong earnings.
