Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is witnessing its re-run at the North American box office and it seems that the Oscar nominations are giving it enough fuel to rake in some business, thus pushing the overall tally. Now, as per the latest development, the film is just inches away from achieving a major milestone in the domestic market for an R-rated film. Keep reading to know more!
Oppenheimer’s IMAX re-release
For those who don’t know, the Cillian Murphy starrer was re-released in IMAX theatres across the United States on 12th January. Surprisingly, despite being available on home media, the film is enjoying a good response during its current re-run. In fact, the collection is getting better as more theatres are getting added.
Current status at the North American box office
As per the trade buzz, Oppenheimer added $220K on Friday, which was an impressive rise of 450% compared to its last Friday. After adding this, the biggie goes up to $327.4 million at the North American box office. Currently, it is playing in over 1,000 locations, and the count of theatres will be increased again during the next weekend.
With $327.4 million, Oppenheimer is now just $1.5 million away from the domestic lifetime collection of 2017’s release, It ($328.9 million). After surpassing it, the Christopher Nolan directorial will become 5th highest-grossing R-rated film at the North American box office.
It’s really commendable that despite being in its re-run, the film is managing to accomplish such an important box office feat.
