Why Is Oppenheimer Rated R
That “Oppenheimer” carries an R rating and is slated for release opposite Warner’s upcoming “Barbie” feature is probably not entirely coincidental. Considering his film is targeted at a completely different audience from the PG-13 rated “Barbie,” releasing it on the same weekend is a clear shot at the studio from which Nolan had a recent acrimonious split.Anxious moviegoers and gossip hounds will have to wait another month or so to see who wins the war of spite between Nolan and Warner, but the anticipation for both films is high, and both should rake in big numbers on what promises to be a banner summer movie weekend.
Both films have a tall task in making studio accountants happy, with production budgets of around $100 million. In the case of “Oppenheimer,” that money can clearly be seen in the elaborate practical effects and spectacular desert shots visible in the previews. The IMAX presentation also promises to add an immersive element to “Oppenheimer” that should further distinguish it from its most immediate competitor.
