Unveiling the Untold Story: Oppenheimer's Astonishing Reign as the Highest-Grossing Biopic in History

Oppenheimer, the biopic about the creation of the atomic bomb, has surpassed the box-office earnings of Bohemian Rhapsody, making it the highest-grossing biopic of all time. According to The Wrap, Oppenheimer has now earned over $912 million globally, with an additional $12 million coming in during its ninth weekend in theaters. This achievement has allowed Oppenheimer to surpass Bohemian Rhapsody, which previously held the biopic record with $902 million in earnings. The IMAX release of Oppenheimer has also played a significant role, generating $179 million from those screens alone.

Oppenheimer has achieved yet another headline-worthy milestone at the box office. With a star-studded cast including Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Florence Pugh, this film directed by Christopher Nolan has become his highest-grossing non-Batman movie in the US, trailing only The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

In addition, Oppenheimer has recently surpassed Deadpool 2 to become the second-highest-grossing R-rated film worldwide. Although it sits behind The Joker in this category, it is unlikely to reach the impressive milestone of over $1 billion earned by the latter.

Oppenheimer is the third-biggest movie of the year, with Barbie and The Super Mario Bros. Movie ahead of it. For more on the biopic, check out Our Website's Oppenheimer review.
