Christopher Nolan's historical epic film, 'Oppenheimer,' continues to captivate audiences worldwide, even after more than eight months since its release and an Oscar win for Best Picture. The movie recently debuted in Japan, its final market, grossing an impressive $2.5 million from 343 theaters and securing the third spot on the country's box office charts.

'Oppenheimer' has set a new record for 2024 as the biggest opening weekend for a Hollywood release in Japan, surpassing popular films like 'Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom' and 'Dune: Part Two.' With this latest success, the film has now amassed a global total of $965 million, a remarkable achievement for a three-hour, R-rated drama primarily set in laboratories and government halls.
