Oppenheimer made a grand entrance into theaters, especially with its captivating presence on IMAX screens. And now, it is gearing up for a triumphant comeback.
Unless you've been completely oblivious to cinematic events, chances are you've witnessed the phenomenon that is Oppenheimer. This latest masterpiece from director Nolan graced the silver screen during the summer season, precisely on July 21, 2023.
Oppenheimer made a significant impact with its IMAX screenings, despite facing competition from Barbie, which also debuted on the same day. The collaboration between Nolan and IMAX is well-known, as his visually stunning and grandiose films often complement the immersive experience that IMAX provides.
However, this partnership appeared to have ended in August this year. Nevertheless, the captivating visuals of Oppenheimer will once again grace the IMAX screen, but only for a limited weekend.
When and where can I watch Oppenheimer in IMAX?
Oppenheimer will be available in select IMAX cinemas “next weekend,” though specific dates are yet to be given.
Unfortunately, this fantastic experience will not be available at all venues. However, you can catch it at four select domestic locations – Lincoln Square, Universal City, Metreon, and Irvine Spectrum – all equipped with 70MM screens. To get your tickets, visit the official websites of these cinemas or check out the IMAX website.
Oppenheimer played a significant role in IMAX's earnings in the previous year, contributing to one of the company's most profitable years to date. During the third quarter alone, IMAX experienced a 51% increase in revenue from July to September, marking it as the second-highest grossing quarter in history.
Having had a three-week run on the majority of IMAX's screens (1,550 out of 1,700 venues), Oppenheimer generated $180 million at the global IMAX box office and a total of $945 million at the global box office overall.
If you have not yet seen the three-hour long blockbuster, here is a summary of Oppenheimer's story: "During World War II, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer is appointed by Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves Jr. to join the top-secret Manhattan Project. Over the course of several years, Oppenheimer and his team of scientists dedicate themselves to the development and design of the atomic bomb. Finally, on July 16, 1945, they bear witness to the world's first nuclear explosion, forever altering the course of history."
