This Friday is going to witness a high-voltage clash at the worldwide box office between Cillian Murphy-led Oppenheimer and Margot Robbie’s Barbie. As with each passing day, the battle is being heated up, let’s see what’s the budget of the Christopher Nolan directorial and how much it needs to earn globally to be a profitable venture.
Christopher Nolan returns after 3 years!
The master director Christopher Nolan is returning to the big screen after Tenet, which was released amid the Covid situation in 2020. Expectedly, due to the pandemic scare among the audience, the film wasn’t a huge hit. Now, with Nolan coming back after 3 years, the expectations are huge.
Oppenheimer is carrying a huge buzz
The film is based on J. Robert Oppenheimer, who played an important role in developing nuclear weapons. Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr and others in key roles, the thriller is enjoying a huge pre-release buzz due to multiple reasons. The first is, of course, the brand of Christopher Nolan. Another major reason is its clash with Barbie. Also, it is being officially said that the biggie has zero CGI shots, so there’s a curiosity among the audience to catch the spectacle on the big screen. Another important reason is glowing initial reviews that are coming across from the industry.
Budget of Oppenheimer
Initially, it was said that the Cillian Murphy starrer is made at a budget of $100 million. However, a few days back, Nolan himself revealed, as per Collider, that the film is made at a cost of $180 million. He also shared that it has been shot with a combination of IMAX 65 mm and 65 mm large-format film photography.
Here’s how much Oppenheimer needs to be a profitable venture
As per Variety’s report, the Christopher Nolan directorial needs to make $400 million at the worldwide box office to be a profitable film. Considering the buzz and initial reviews, this figure is expected to be easily achieved. So, we can say that there’s a box office winner on its way!
