Robert Oppenheimer, the so-called "father of the atomic bomb," and chronicles the development of the weapon during World War II. The choice to have the film address, but not explicitly depict, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the U.S. — which killed tens of thousands of people and left many with lifelong injuries — was hotly debated in the media.Nolan's film was released theatrically in most territories in July, making over $950 million. It's also already available to purchase for in-home viewing in many countries. But it had been a lingering question whether it would ever get a theatrical release in Japan.Earlier this year, the Japanese distributor of the Warner Bros. movie "Barbie" apologized for its U.S. parent company's reaction to social media posts about the "Barbenheimer" blitz that combined images of Barbie and a mushroom cloud. The memes triggered criticisms in Japan for what many described as minimizing the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.Bitters End said that, after screening "Oppenheimer," they felt it was "a singular cinematic experience that transcends traditional storytelling and must be seen on the big screen."
