Oppenheimer is finally here. As one-half of the now-famous “Barbenheimer” pop culture event, the Christopher Nolan movie has received an unusual amount of advance hype and breathless anticipation for a three-hour movie about the birth of the atom bomb. I’m not complaining though; any amount of additional press concentrating on the movie can only be a good thing, and is poised to turn the original drama into an unexpected summertime hit.
Nolan is a movie lover, and part of that love is telling his stories in the biggest and best formats possible. Remember The Dark Knight? Of course you do. He shot the already famous opening scene in IMAX as a way of accentuating the drama and intensity of Joker’s bank heist. For Oppenheimer, he’s topped that by shooting the entire movie in IMAX 70mm and 70mm large-format film. Oppenheimer has already made history by being the first film to have black-and-white sections shot in IMAX. Not too shabby, huh?
The bad news is that not every theater is equipped with the necessary equipment to properly see Oppenheimer in all of its big-screen glory. In fact, there are fewer than 50 movie theaters in the entire world that can show Oppenheimer as Nolan truly intended. Where are these theaters? Find out by reading the list below.
