"OPPENHEIMER IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MOVIE I'VE EVER MADE"
Oppenheimer, which focuses on the life of American physicist Julius Robert Oppenheimer, is Christopher Nolan's longest production to date at 181 minutes.
Speaking to Empire magazine, Nolan said, "I made a three-hour movie about Robert Oppenheimer. It was an 18-rated movie, half of it in black and white, and it made $1 billion."
"The crazy thing is, Oppenheimer is the most successful movie I've ever made. I've been making movies for 20 years and Oppenheimer is my highest grossing movie in the UK. So, from my own experience, I can say that I'm very happy with the state of the movie business. Of course, the success of other films at the box office and the return of audiences to theaters have also influenced my opinion."
