Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Oppenheimer achieved the impossible by becoming director Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing movie outside of the Dark Knight trilogy, but no one should be surprised by the movie's success. The new biopic is about J. Robert Oppenheimer, also known as the father of the atomic bomb, and how he shepherded a group of physicists to create a world-destroying nuclear weapon during The Manhattan Project.
9 Oppenheimer Was Christopher Nolan's First Movie For Universal Nolan infamously left Warner Bros. after the studio made the decision to give their 2021 movies day-and-date releases on HBO Max without informing anyone. However, when that lucrative relationship came to an end, Universal won a bidding war for Oppenheimer, and the studio agreed to a ton of Nolan's non-negotiable terms .
7 Unlike Other Nolan Movies, Oppenheimer Wasn't Confusing While the actual physics in the movie can be hard to follow at times, Oppenheimer's narrative isn't confusing at all. Movies like Inception and The Prestige certainly challenged audiences, and some of the movies' logic was over the top. Many have argued that the confusion of Nolan's films got out of hand in the 2010s with Interstellar and again in 2020 with Tenet.
4 Oppenheimer Had An Exclusivity Deal With IMAX Nolan has always championed IMAX cameras, and he pioneered the film camera being used for more than just action scenes. Given how great of a relationship Nolan and IMAX have, the filmmaker managed to secure exclusivity for Oppenheimer in IMAX theaters. As a result, IMAX tickets made up for 22% of Oppenheimer's box office gross after two weeks in theaters, making $114 million .
