Christopher Nolan’s historical drama Oppenheimer has surpassed $400 million worldwide, becoming the director’s sixth highest-grossing film. The film, which stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who led the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb, has been praised for its cast, screenplay, and visuals.
Oppenheimer opened in theaters on July 21, 2023, and has grossed $253.38 million in the United States and Canada. The film has also been a success overseas, grossing $146.62 million in other territories.
Oppenheimer’s box office success is a welcome surprise for Warner Bros., which had been expecting the film to perform more modestly. The film’s budget was $100 million, and it was not expected to be a major commercial hit. However, Oppenheimer has benefited from strong word-of-mouth, and it has also been helped by the lack of other major releases in recent weeks.
Oppenheimer’s box office success is a sign that there is still an appetite for historical dramas among audiences. The film has also been praised for its timely message about the dangers of nuclear weapons. With its strong performance at the box office, Oppenheimer is likely to be a contender for awards season honors.
