Documentary/Biopic Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer

Everythang after this is profit territory.

Not according to Hollywood accounting

Loved the movie. It's not a movie I am going to turn on 500 times to enjoy or anything, but it's a great movie. Easily Nolan's best for me since Interstellar.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Movie sort of is Christopher Nolan making an Oliver Stone film circa the 90s.

With more historical accuracy and less absolutely deranged homophobia! (I love Oliver Stone's movies, he's just a total ****ing lunatic).

The box office for this film continues to shock me. The power of Nolan and it being a fantastic movie.

On that note, actuals for the weekend came in about $5 million higher so Oppy is now at 405.6 worldwide. (Barbie went up from 775 to 780 as well.)

Barbie Reaches $781M Global Through Sunday, Oppenheimer Reaches $406M – Deadline

How much do we think Oppenheimer's overall gross is going to be? It may surpass Dunkirk by next week and it seems like it could end up making more than Interstellar or even Inception. It started off stronger than those films and has great legs. Can it reach a billion? Is it possible?

I'm seeing some analysts who are saying anywhere between 700-900 is on the table right now.

Massively impressive if so. Nolan can do serious subject matter along with big box office event.

Given this movie's similarities to JFK, that's quite the honorary compliment.

 

[psylockolussus]

I will watch this for Emily Blunt.

However I will have to wait til on streaming. I regret watching Barbie last weekend, it wasn't worth it for me, so i don't want to eXperience that feeling again, spending money for a single ticket when a movie is out online, after 2 to 3 months and regretting it. And I'm not even that 80% interested to begin with.

My sleeping pattern also isn't good right now and I might get bored and sleep accidentally watching a 3 hour movie. Well I slept during Onward/Into the Spider Verse and those aren't eXactly dark movies and both were under 2 hours. But I'm also not simply interested in the premise. Though I'm currently watching a video about How a Nuclear Bomb Works simply because it showed up in my YouTube feeds (this usually happens when a new movie is coming out or just came out, and there's plenty of related things showing up in my feed and then I sometimes end up watching them though most of them I stopped after 5 minutes).

You could simply not watch it if you’re not interested in it.

Well duh. But then I end up watching nothing like in TV shows.

But I try to watch films that don't necessarily interest me to catch up on things, diversify my taste in my movies or to see if I'm missing out anything. Sometimes it does happen and I say to myself, "I wish i saw that in the big screen".

 

[Filmfreak]

Well that is definitely a movie worth watching in a big screen and it will be a very long while until it comes to a streaming platform. It's going to run for at least 100 days in cinemas and my guess is it will go to VOD after that, since Peacock is not one of the big streamers.

That being said, you do you. If you don't care enough, wait for home media like you said. Just saying.

I think I'll just wait. Barbie was inescapable for me these last 2 weeks, so it was something I had to witness for myself.

I'm currently catching up on movies I might have missed in the last 5 years. I recently rewatched Dunkirk last month and I plan to rewatch Tenet, since I didn't understand that movie at all.

Had no idea this was the same guy.

Never doing ADR and reshoots is a choice that I wish he reconsiders one day.

 

[DarkKnight88]

We probably wouldn’t have gotten Heath Ledger’s full Joker performance if he relied on ADR though.

I've accidentally dropped my phone on my face while laying in bed a few times in my life so this picture unnerves me a bit.

I suppose the only exception to this has got to be Tom Hardy re-recording his lines as Bane. And that was only because you couldn't understand his dialogue as clearly in the original cut. The original dialogue from the plane scene is still on YouTube from camrips of when it was previewed before IMAX showings of M:I Ghost Protocol. It was a little harder to make out what he was saying but in the grand scheme of things it's difficult to take ADR out of the equation when you have a masked character like that.

I saw at least 75% of the film tonight before a severe thunderstorm caused a blackout, and the theatre giving refunds to see any movie for free next time I go. This was one of the weirdest and most memorable theatre experiences I have ever had. Made my friend and I laugh so hard.

It was at the part where

Spoiler

Oppenheimer finds out Fuchs was a spy for the Soviet before the screen went to black.

I will say that the acting, the cinematography, the score, sound, writing were all incredible, even with 40 minutes before the film ended. This movie will get a lot of nominations next year.

I also got startled so many times during the film because of the music and sound, particularly in scenes with explosions, but the biggest jump scare for me was the scene in the gymnasium. This really did feel like a horror movie because of that and the very epic and eerie score throughout.

Definitely plan on seeing this again as soon as I can in its entirety.

It would have been quite funny if during a random session, the power coincidentally went off the moment the Trinity test's countdown ended and the bomb went off.
