Oppenheimer's Japan release has recently shattered a long-standing box office record set by Christopher Nolan's film, marking a significant milestone in the movie industry. The biopic, which delves into the life and achievements of American theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, has been met with resounding success among viewers and critics alike since its initial release in theaters last summer.
After a period of careful consideration, Oppenheimer finally made its debut in Japanese theaters, further fueling its already impressive performance. According to a recent report from Collider, the film has raked in an impressive $5.5 million in box office revenue during its first two weeks in Japan. This success has propelled Oppenheimer's total overseas earnings to a staggering $640 million, surpassing The Dark Knight Rises' overseas earnings of $634 million and solidifying its position as Nolan's highest-grossing film outside of North America.
Oppenheimer, a cinematic masterpiece by Christopher Nolan, offers a compelling portrayal of the renowned physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, known for his pivotal role in the development of the atomic bomb. The film features Cillian Murphy in the lead role, drawing inspiration from the book 'American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer' by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.
