Oppenheimer Box office: “Oppenheimer” breaks record at the Global Box Office days before Digital Release
Anne Thompson’s Final Oscar Predictions highlight Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” as the frontrunner for the 2024 Oscars, anticipating 13 nominations and a Best Picture win. The film has already secured accolades such as the Drama Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award. Nolan’s approach involved minimizing digital VFX, casting 73 speaking parts, and achieving a global box office success nearing $1 billion.
The article identifies “Barbie” and “Poor Things” as the closest competitors, though lacking the same gravitas as “Oppenheimer.” Predictions include Emma Stone as the frontrunner for Best Actress, while Greta Gerwig and Yorgos Lanthimos contend for craft awards against the powerhouse film.
The analysis acknowledges international support for “Oppenheimer” due to Nolan’s British roots. Other contenders like “The Zone of Interest” and “Anatomy of a Fall” may secure nominations, with “Zone” potentially winning Best International Feature.
The report notes the diminishing prospects of Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and highlights other contenders like “The Holdovers” and Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction.” Netflix’s “Maestro,” starring Bradley Cooper, is considered a strong contender, supported by seven BAFTA nominations.
The analysis concludes with the perennial challenge for Oscar contenders – audience visibility – acknowledging the global success of “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” as a positive factor for Academy-wide voting.
