Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” continues doing stunning business. The R-rated historical drama film has now surpassed the $700 million mark at the global box office after five weeks of release with $285 million domestically and $437 million internationally.
It has now overtaken “Fast X” ($704 million) and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” ($686 million) to become the fourth-highest-grossing movie of the year.
In addition, it has also become Nolan’s fourth-biggest movie of all time, passing 2014’s “Interstellar” at $715 million.
All eyes turn towards the other records it could break. Whilst it has no chance of beating the two top earners this year with “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ($1.35 billion) and “Barbie” ($1.2 billion), it has a chance to beat Marvel’s “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3” at $845 million.
In addition, it also has a chance of catching up and/or surpassing “Inception” at $837 million though can’t catch up to the over $1 billion Nolan’s latter two “Dark Knight” films pulled in.
Even so, the film is the director’s highest-grossing release in 50 overseas markets, including Germany, India and Brazil.
Of those earnings, $146.4 million hail from the IMAX premium format’s screens – making it the fifth-highest grossing Imax movie ever behind the two “Avatar” films,” “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Avengers: Endgame.”.
