The Big Picture
- Oppenheimer continues to astound at the box office, earning over $500 million globally, despite its R rating and limited screenings.
- The film delves into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer before and after the atomic bomb, with Cillian Murphy delivering a captivating performance.
- Alongside Murphy, Oppenheimer features a star-studded cast including Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, and Matt Damon.
After successfully captivating audiences in theaters for a couple of weeks, the remarkable success of Oppenheimer continues as Christopher Nolan’s latest project surpasses $500 million in global earnings. Domestically, Oppenheimer has grossed $228.6 million, with an international total of $324.3 million, resulting in an impressive domestic total of $552.9 million. In this film, the veteran filmmaker explores the life of the man behind the creation of the atomic bomb, with Cillian Murphy delivering a powerful depiction of the scientist as he grapples with the repercussions of developing such a devastating weapon. The world watched as Oppenheimer’s achievement ended World War II, but its long-term implications for humanity remained uncertain.
The film’s extraordinary performance becomes even more noteworthy when considering its restricted runtime and the fact that it carries an R rating from the MPAA. Despite fewer daily screenings and an inability for underage viewers to attend, Oppenheimer defies all odds and maintains its success at the box office, drawing in audiences with its broad appeal, akin to that of a summer blockbuster. Audiences are aware that Murphy’s portrayal of Oppenheimer doesn’t depict him as a hero, as the scientist is constantly confronted with the reality that his creation is no longer within his control. The movie effectively showcases the stark contrast between the man he was before and after the bomb’s creation.
The supporting cast of Nolan’s gripping drama shines, with Emily Blunt brilliantly portraying Robert’s wife, Kitty. Blunt’s performance showcases Kitty’s unwavering support for her husband as she boldly confronts Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey Jr.) when he launches harsh accusations against Robert. After donning the iconic role of Iron Man for over a decade, Downey delivers a riveting performance as a character consumed by bitterness and resentment towards the protagonist. The narrative of Oppenheimer unfolds in a non-linear fashion, utilizing flashbacks to provide insight into the fractures in the relationships between the characters.
Christopher Nolan Doesn’t Do Deleted Scenes
Audiences craving additional footage from the captivating portrayal of a haunted physicist in Oppenheimer will be disappointed to learn that the film does not include any deleted scenes. In a recent interview with Collider, Murphy revealed why Christopher Nolan’s films do not typically feature deleted scenes: “There’s no deleted scenes in Chris Nolan movies
