Oppenheimer: Nolan’s R-Rated Masterpiece Dominates Streaming Charts!

by

Christopher Nolan isn’t the type to linger on past achievements for long periods. With filming now active on “The Odyssey,” fans are revisiting his previous works, and it’s his latest movie that has recently gained popularity on streaming platforms, about two years after its initial release. The movie in question is none other than “Oppenheimer,” starring Cillian Murphy. You may recall it as the film with the peculiar dispute with Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” the role that almost led Cillian Murphy to self-starvation, or the one that swept nearly every Oscar last year. However, Nolan’s R-rated biopic about one of history’s most influential figures continues to resonate in your mind; it might be worth revisiting this lengthy (over 3 hours) epic, as it’s currently trending on streaming services.

As of now, the film “Oppenheimer” is streaming on Netflix and is quickly climbing its way up the platform’s most-watched films of the week chart. At the moment, it stands at #8 on this list. Currently leading the pack is still “The Electric State,” the costly sci-fi adventure by the Russo brothers. Additionally, “Oppenheimer” has been outperformed by “A Quiet Place: Day One,” “Revelations,” and “The Twister: Caught in the Storm,” among others. However, movie enthusiasts can rejoice as it is still more popular than Sony’s “Kraven the Hunter,” which ranks at #9.

As a cinephile, I had the privilege of attending the screening of Christopher Nolan’s latest masterpiece, “Oppenheimer.” Starring alongside Cillian Murphy, this film boasts an impressive ensemble cast that includes Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr., Josh Hartnett, Jack Quaid, Gary Oldman, Rami Malek, Emma Dumont, David Krumholtz, Casey Affleck, and more.

In “Oppenheimer,” we journey with the real-life figure, Robert J. Oppenheimer, as he becomes part of the Manhattan Project during World War II. The movie delves deep into the psychological and societal consequences that arose from the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ultimately ending the war.

Among Nolan’s fan base, “Oppenheimer” has emerged as a strong contender for his best work yet, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with classics like “Interstellar” and “The Dark Knight.” However, only time will tell if “The Odyssey” can surpass those cinematic giants.

Christopher Nolan Is Hard at Work on ‘The Odyssey’

Previously noted, Christopher Nolan isn’t known for taking extended breaks between films. At present, he’s busy working on “The Odyssey,” a cinematic adaptation of Homer’s timeless Greek epic. This movie will depict the story of Odysseus (portrayed by Matt Damon), as he navigates his way back to Itheca after the Trojan War. Along this voyage, he encounters various obstacles and mythical beings.

Just as people wonder how director Christopher Nolan, known for his dislike of CGI, will bring the legendary creatures in The Odyssey to life, fans are eager to see. It’s been reported that Nolan is using techniques similar to those Ray Harryhausen employed in movies like Jason and the Argonauts, as a large puppet was spotted on the set of The Odyssey. This upcoming film boasts an equally impressive ensemble cast, which includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, and Matt Damon. Currently scheduled for release on July 17, 2026, The Odyssey promises to be a spectacle not to be missed.
