Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer Shatters Records, Nearing $1 Billion Milestone at the Box Office!

While the film’s theatrical run continues, there’s anticipation about its streaming release, which remains unannounced. This could provide the film with the opportunity to inch closer to the $1 billion milestone.

“Oppenheimer,” the biographical drama directed by Christopher Nolan, continues its extraordinary box office journey, now in its 8th week in theaters. Starring Cillian Murphy as the iconic theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast featuring Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh. Since its release on July 21, it has formed one half of the box office sensation known as “Barbenheimer,” rivaling Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.”

Collider reports that “Oppenheimer” has broken records by surpassing the $910.8 million earnings of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” This remarkable achievement now makes it the highest-grossing biographical movie in history, surpassing titles such as “American Sniper” (2014) and “The Greatest Showman” (2017).

These milestones come on top of other records set by “Oppenheimer,” including becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie of the year and the top-grossing World War II film ever. Currently, it ranks as the third highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide, trailing only “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “Barbie.”

While the film’s theatrical run continues, there’s anticipation about its streaming release, which remains unannounced. This could provide the film with the opportunity to inch closer to the $1 billion milestone. However, as time goes by, achieving this mark becomes more challenging.

“Oppenheimer” is projected to maintain weekly earnings of under $4 million at the box office. With approximately $100 million to go before reaching $1 billion, crossing that threshold before exiting theaters seems unlikely. While international markets may provide a boost, it faces stiff competition from upcoming releases like “Saw X,” “The Expendables 4,” and “The Exorcist: Believer,” which will gradually reduce its screen presence. Nonetheless, the film’s historic success remains a testament to its impact and appeal.

    The Oppenheimer movie omits the unnecessary and evil bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and also of its testing grounds in New Mexico and the Marshall Islands as if there were no innocent victims and grave harm done (https://www.themarysue.com/oppenheimer-has-people-speaking-out-about-a-pretty-glaring-omission) which shows the lack of conscience of its creator/filmmaker/director. And much dark facts on Oppenheimer himself are also concealed in this Hollywood movie (https://amgreatness.com/2023/08/21/the-oppenheimer-file-missing-cast-and-forgotten-back-stories).

    “The primary job of both Hollywood and the mainstream western press is to is to put a friendly, normal-looking face on a globe-spanning empire which dominates the world using nonstop violence and coercion. Their job is to continually normalize freakish tyranny. They do this in a whole host of ways, including the agenda-setting practice of under-reporting inconvenient facts while amplifying convenient ones…” — Caitlin Johnstone, Independent journalist

    So this immoral director presents a whitewash of history, a fake history account. Memory holing of real atrocities is immorality, a serious crime per any reasonable humane standard. Per official narrative the Nazi Holocaust should “not be forgotten” but the US Holocausts at Hiroshima/Nagasaki are fine “to forget.” But this memory holing is in line with what it is: a stylish propaganda movie of the genocidal US empire, made by its criminal Hollywood ‘dream factory’/propaganda apparatus. A celebration of the “wonders of technology” and the “brilliance” of its inventing immoral conscienceless scientists. A celebration of madness.

    It’s the programing of the naive/dumb public by (one of) the most murderous regimes on earth to accept and want such horrific killer weapons –it’s part of the normalization of evil via the brainwashing of the forever naive/dumb public.

    This inexcusable despicable conduct by the film’s acclaimed director parallels the fact that dozens of Nobelists worked on the creation of the atomic bomb that proves that guilt and conscience never played a notable part in them.

    Oppenheimer’s guilt and conscience, too, was of no real significance as his actions in establishing the atomic bomb demonstrated.

    It shows the real fundamental condition and nature of “civilized” humans — they are inhumanely mad …. https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html (that essay also explains WHY they are mad).

    “[…] I realized that the entire nuclear power program was based on a fraud—namely, that there was a “safe” amount of radiation, a permissible dose that wouldn’t hurt anybody.” — John W. Gofman, M.D., Ph.D., 1918-2007, Medical Physicist & Radiation Expert
