In a world where movie streaming seems to be the new future, Christopher Nolan has always been a big advocate of the movie-going experience. This year, it looks like he got his wish as Oppenheimer’s box office dominance has brought mass audiences to theaters. With the British filmmaker making such a theater-going impact this year, Nolan shares “the crazy thing” about Oppenheimer’s success and how he feels about people still traveling to theaters.
The historical biopic that told the story of “the father of the atomic bomb” became a massive hit making over $900 million and being the third highest-grossing movie of the year. Oppenheimer’s director Christopher Nolan let Empire know he’s very proud of his summer flick’s success and “the crazy thing” he discovered about it.
