Too bad it's getting nuked by Barbie at the box office.

I think Oppenheimer will pull through. Not victorious but it won’t flop.

Oppenheimer being a summer release feels weird to me

Feels like it should be a November movie and compete for awards

$100m budget and the marketing budget is probably of similar size so they want this movie to make as much money as poss

They're basically giving it the same kind of slot that Dunkirk had. While a historical film, when setting up thr project, Nolan made a series of demands requiring the project to be treated as a major event film by whichever studio wanted to pick it up (this included some pretty goddamn wild requirements. Not only a guaranteed theatrical window but also a window in which the studioncouldnt release anything else either. Universal agreed to the terms)

Also unironically I think Nolan enjoys releasing movies on his birthday.

Dunkirk looked more “exciting” from the trailers

Oppenheimer seems a lot more artistic based off the trailers whereas Dunkirk was like teasing nonstop action
