Documentary/Biopic Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer

[Drizzle]

To me Nolan being knighted isn't a shock at all, it makes perfect sense. I guess the bigger shock is that I didn't think it would have happened so soon.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Sir Christopher Nolan sounds so badass

Me reading the names that will be honoured by King Charles:

 

[Drizzle]

The hell are they honoring Sarandos for? He's not even British.

He won't be knighted but apparently he'll be awarded an Honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire, whatever that is. I guess King Charles really liked The Crown.

Either that or the Royals are bribing him to ensure that The Crown isn't revived for any further seasons, which after the last couple of years alone has gotta be very tempting for Netflix.

I drink to that. Cheers, Sir Nolan.

Can’t wait for Sir Christopher Nolan’s next film.

 

[Boom]

Cillian Murphy returning home after winning the Oscar (circa 2024)

He should've won last year.

 

[Drizzle]

He should've won last year.

Farrell was great in Banshees but he didn't have a shot over Brendan Fraser and Austin Butler.

Farrell was great in Banshees but he didn't have a shot over Brendan Fraser and Austin Butler.

Not in terms of buzz, but for my money he was far, far more impressive than Butler. I kinda hated The Whale so I can’t comment on that one objectively lol. I was happy for Brendan, though.

Wildly unpopular opinion incoming but as much as I loved Farrell in Banshees, IMO his performance as Penguin was even more impressive to me. He really had a great 2022.

Opening weekend in Japan... Oppenheimer earned $2.6M.

According to Deadline: the movie "...is comping above such Nolan titles as Interstellar (+109%), Batman Begins (+39%), Dunkirk (+24%) and The Dark Knight (+21%); and just behind The Dark Knight Rises (-10%), Tenet (-11%) and Inception (-48%).

 

[Filmfreak]

That's pretty damn good considering it's highly controversial there and that it was released everywhere else eight months ago.

 

[Dr.]

With the Japan release (~ 10 days = $5.5M), the world-wide box office is now $970M.

Never seen Insomnia on the big screen.

 

[Drizzle]

Yeah, out of those Insomnia is the one I never saw on the big screen (only saw it for the first time a few years ago) but that one being picked over Memento or The Prestige is an unusual choice.

 

[antsman41]

Prestige needs an IMAX re-release like how Ex Machina just got one. I don't care if it's an upscale.

 

[Kane52630]

I'm still waiting for my local (real) IMAX to show TDK because I know they still have the print somewhere.

My Regal is showing them on a pretty good RPX screen. Brand new theater built in 2021. Very nice projection quality. Saw Oppy there. Pretty excited to see Nolan’s old movies on the big screen again. Too bad they couldn’t include The Prestige on this deal.

The 5th Most Valuable (profitable) movie of 2023, according to Deadline.com

Oscar Best Picture Winner ‘Oppenheimer’ Is No. 5 In Deadline’s 2023 Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament

Oppenheimer saw a profit of $201.9 million after the Oscar winner's home entertainment, box office and production costs.

deadline.com

Expenses include a sizable amount for "participations" ($175M) — most of that, presumably, going to Nolan and Syncopy.

 

[Dr.]

According to The Numbers…

Japanese box office is up to $10.8M. Which puts the world-wide total at $975.8M. Probably won’t get much beyond that.
