With his most recent masterpiece, “Oppenheimer,” acclaimed director Christopher Nolan, known for his spellbinding spectacles and thought-provoking stories, has triumphantly returned to the screen. Unprecedented levels of anticipation for the film have gripped viewers everywhere.
While it is not uncommon for a Nolan film to sell out in the USA or other foreign territories, the fervor surrounding “Oppenheimer” in India is truly remarkable. Tickets for the film were released well in advance, commanding prices as high as 1000 Rupees per ticket. Astonishingly, almost all the tickets were swiftly snatched up within a remarkably short span of time. To put this into perspective, that is equivalent to at least five to eight regular movie tickets.
Christopher Nolan himself has emphasized that “Oppenheimer” was meticulously crafted for the most grandiose screens, particularly IMAX, in order to deliver the ultimate cinematic experience. Shot entirely using IMAX cameras, without relying on CGI, the film has ignited immense enthusiasm, despite the majority of IMAX screens in India being digital.
IMAX screenings of “Oppenheimer” are completely sold out throughout the country, not only for the opening day but also extending until July 25th. Furthermore, an astonishing phenomenon has emerged in the form of “Fan Shows” organized by devoted fans in tribute to their beloved filmmaker. These shows often commence in the early hours, as early as 3 AM.
