The Big Picture
- Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has had a remarkable box office run, generating $114.2 million from IMAX screenings alone and becoming the 8th highest-grossing IMAX release in history.
- Oppenheimer was filmed in full frame IMAX 15 Perf 70mm Film, a format only compatible with 30 theaters worldwide, including the legendary TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood where it has set a new record for the highest-grossing film.
- Oppenheimer surpassed the box office record of Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the TCL Chinese Theatre, earning $1.53 million in just 3 weeks compared to Star Wars’ 15 weeks, leading to extended screenings due to high demand.
Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer has experienced an extraordinary journey at the box office since its release on July 21, greatly attributed to its exceptional performance in the IMAX format. Nolan, a firm advocate of 70mm film, considers it both the pinnacle of cinematic experience and his personal recommendation for fully immersing oneself in this three-hour epic about the creation of the atomic bomb.
In terms of financial success, Oppenheimer has secured its place as the 8th highest-grossing IMAX release to date. It’s worth noting that these figures do not include key markets such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Russia, where the film has yet to be shown (and in some cases, may not be shown at all). As of the beginning of this week, the movie has earned an impressive $114.2 million from IMAX screenings alone. Furthermore, Oppenheimer is the second film in comparable markets to surpass the $100 million mark at the IMAX box office.
However, what sets Oppenheimer apart is the fact that it was filmed using full frame IMAX 15 Perf 70mm Film, a format only compatible with 30 theaters worldwide, with additional theaters equipped to show the film in standard 70mm. One of these prestigious theaters is the TCL Chinese Theatre, located in the heart of Hollywood. At this iconic venue, Oppenheimer has secured its position as the highest-grossing film in the theater’s illustrious history.
