Variety’s Elsa Keslassy added: “A sign that French audiences loved #Oppenheimer is that they stayed outside the Grand Rex cinema long after the film ended to debate it!”
Oppenheimer grossed over $500 million on the same day that its Barbenheimer counterpart, Barbie, grossed $1 billion at the box office.
The $552.9 million – estimated by Universal Pictures over the weekend – makes Christopher Nolan’s epic the highest-grossing World War II film at the box office of all time.
Since its release on July 21, it is also the highest-grossing R-rated film of the year and Universal’s fastest R-rated film to gross $200 million in the United States.
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore, praised the film for its “astonishing box office success, made even more impressive by its R rating, running time and subject matter.”
He also called Nolan the director: “In the hands of a weaker filmmaker and without a spectacular marketing and release strategy, [the film] would probably have been just a footnote when it came to historical dramas performing at the box office.’

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer: What do the critics think?
“I’m torn between being coy and secretive about Oppenheimer and just coming out and saying it’s an absolute blast.”
Vulture film critic Bilge Ebiri
“OPPENHEIMER is…incredible.” “A mercilessly fast-paced, insanely detailed and complex historical drama that keeps growing until Nolan brings the hammer down in the most astonishing and harrowing way.”
Jonathan Dean from The Sunday Times
“Completely immersed in OPPENHEIMER. “A bold, imaginative and complex film that unsettles its audience.”
Lindsey Bahr, author of the Associated Press film
“It is truly a spectacular achievement, in its truthful, succinct adaptation, imaginative storytelling and nuanced performances from Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and the many others involved.”
“An epic historical drama, but with a distinctly Nolan sensibility: tension, structure, sense of scale, stunning sound design, remarkable visuals. “Wow.”
