Oppenheimer box office collection: “Oppenheimer,” Christopher Nolan’s dark historical blockbuster, has sold $850 million worth of tickets around the world. This is a huge number.
So far, the movie, which stars Cillian Murphy as the “father of the atomic bomb,” has made $311 million in North America and $542.7 million elsewhere. The movie keeps surprising people, especially for a serious, R-rated biographical historical drama that takes place mostly in dull rooms where scientists and leaders talk quickly.
At this rate, the $900 million mark will be reached soon, and $1 billion will be closer than anyone ever thought. It cost $100 million to make, but both Universal, which backed the movie and Nolan will make a lot of money from it.
“Oppenheimer” has been out for seven weeks and is now Nolan’s third-biggest movie ever. It has made more money than “Inception” ($837 million), but less than “The Dark Knight” ($1 billion) and “The Dark Knight Rises” ($1.08 billion).
It is the director’s highest-grossing movie ever in 59 foreign markets, including Germany, France, Netherlands, India, Brazil, Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.
It is also the third highest-grossing movie of the year, after “Barbie” ($1.36 billion) and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ($1.35 billion). It made more money than “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” ($845 million) and “Fast X” ($704 million), which were both new parts of successful franchises.
It’s also Universal’s highest-grossing R-rated movie and the studio’s first R-rated movie to make $300 million at the American box office. It’s also the biggest R-rated movie of the year, beating out “John Wick: Chapter 4” ($187 million) in that category.
“Oppenheimer” has stayed in the top five of North American box office charts for seven straight weeks. That’s a big deal any time of year, but especially in the summer when everyone is out and about.
“Oppenheimer” has been a huge hit in Imax, where it has made $170 million from screens around the world. It’s the fifth-highest paying Imax movie ever, after “Avatar” and “The Way of Water,” both of which made $2 billion, and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Avengers: Endgame.” This week, “Oppenheimer” opened in China. It made $30.5 million, $9.3 million of which came from Imax screens.
Rich Gelfond, the CEO of Imax, said, “‘Oppenheimer’s’ impressive debut in China showed that it’s not even close to being done stunning audiences around the world with its bold and uncompromising vision.”
“Oppenheimer” was based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “American Prometheus.” The story is about a theoretical scientist who was in charge of making the atomic bomb, which helped end World War II. The rest of the cast is made up of Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, and Alden Ehrenreich.
