Oppenheimer has surpassed a Marvel blockbuster to become the third highest-grossing film of 2023.Christopher Nolan‘s historical drama — which sees Cillian Murphy star as Robert J. Oppenheimer, the real-life American physicist who played a pivotal role in the creation of the atomic bomb — has become one of the director’s most successful films to date.Oppenheimer has already set record for the most successful WWII-related film of all time, but with ticket sales continuing to soar, it’s now set another impressive milestone.As revealed by Box Office Mojo, Oppenheimer has surpassed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to become the third highest-grossing movie at the 2023 global box office.At the time of writing (September 7), the film has grossed $854,078,950 worldwide, surpassing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3‘s $845,536,306.It also remains the third-highest-grossing release of the year behind Barbie and The Super Mario Bros.

Barbie and Oppenheimer don’t live up to Russia’s values and shouldn’t be screened in the country, its Deputy Culture Minister has said.Andrei Malyshev rejected a request by vice-speaker of Russia’s parliament, Vladislav Davankov, who’d written to officials asking them to launch a pilot scheme where cinemas could show popular new releases.The TASS news agency [via Politico] reported yesterday (August 31) that Malyshev rejected the appeal based on his preferences for movies and which content he believes the Russian people value. The West has boycotted Russia since it launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, meaning that new Western films are not currently shown in the country.Davankov had lobbied the Russian government to allow bootleg screenings despite the Hollywood embargo.Malyshev wrote: “We believe that the films you have proposed for viewing by the citizens of our country – Barbie and Oppenheimer – do not meet the aims and objectives set out by the head of state, to preserve and strengthen traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.”Instead, Malyshev believes that Russians get suitable entertainment and information from domestic productions including animated children’s film Cheburashka and The Challenge, a Russian state-backed film shot on the International Space Station.According to the minister, making up for the lack of foreign content in the wake of Western firms’ exit from the country has stimulated the country’s own industry.

Christopher Nolan cut the Oppenheimer shoot by a month in order to free up money for set design, it has been revealed.Speaking on the Team Deakins podcast, production designer Ruth De Jong discussed Nolan re-allocating the budget from 30 planned filming days to production design.“It felt like a $100 million indie,” De Jong said. “This is not Tenet. Chris wanted to shoot all over the United States…just plane tickets alone and putting crew up all over the place [is expensive].

Movie as the highest-grossing movie of 2023.

Oppenheimer composer Ludwig Göransson has explained how Cillian Murphy’s performance shaped the film’s score.Murphy plays the lead role of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s historical drama, which follows the creation of the first nuclear weapons under the Manhattan Project.Speaking to NME, Göransson, who previously collaborated with Nolan on films Dunkirk and Tenet, said the score for Oppenheimer would have “absolutely” been different if another actor had portrayed the titular scientist.“With [Murphy’s] performance, you’re just living it, you’re breathing it, you’re taking it home,” he said.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer because the film is “all exposition”.The YouTuber and WWE star shared his thoughts on the historical biopic during an episode of his ImPaulsive podcast, where he was joined by Talk To Me directors Danny and Michael Philippou.“I walked out of Oppenheimer,” Paul said, to shocked gasps from the Philippous.Asked why he left the film early, Paul replied: “I didn’t know what they were trying [to do]. ‘What are you doing?’ Everyone’s just talking.

Eventually, they were offered a five-album deal by London-based Acid Jazz, but he is and brother turned it down, citing reasons of artistic independence.Murphy has often been disparaging about his songs to journalists.

If you don’t know the history between Steven Soderbergh and Christopher Nolan, then you should do a bit of Googling. The short version is this: being one of the early champions of “Memento,” before it was picked up by a distributor, Soderbergh was the go-to person for Nolan’s people to call to ask for a favor.

One of the oddest aspects of filmmaking that fans seem to obsess over is run-time. Back in the old days, well before social media, a film was released and people consumed it.

A familiar charge against Christopher Nolan‘s films: they’re too loud, the sound mixing isn’t clear, making dialogue in them impossible to hear sometimes. So is that true for “Oppenheimer,” Nolan’s latest? That may depend on several factors, like whether or not one sees it in an IMAX theater.

No one asked for “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” to share this ridiculous connection they have forged, as the two films were released on the same day. We’ve seen plenty of major films get the same release dates.

Oppenheimer.The Jewish comedian and writer suggested in a new interview that he isn’t totally on board with Murphy, an Irish actor who isn’t of Jewish descent, portraying “the father of the atomic bomb”.Tom Conti, who portrays the Jewish theoretical physicist Albert Einstein in the film, isn’t Jewish.“Authenticity casting I think of as an a priori thing that exists,” Baddiel told The Times.“Whatever the rights and wrongs of it, I can promise you that in this business – and I am in this business still – casting directors are now frightened to cast except in line with the minority they are casting. But they are not so worried about Jews.”Baddiel has previously spoken about non-Jewish actors playing Jewish characters in film and TV productions.In an opinion piece published in The Guardian last year, Baddiel discussed Maureen Lipman’s comments that Helen Mirren should not play former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir in the 2023 film Golda because she isn’t Jewish.Baddiel wrote at the time: “Casting a non-minority actor to mimic that identity feels, to the progressive eye, like impersonation, and impersonation may carry with it an element of mockery.”The real-life Oppenheimer was the child of two Jewish immigrants.
