In recent film news, Christopher Nolan's movie "Oppenheimer" will be released in Japanese theaters in 2024, marking an end to uncertainty and controversy stemming from the #Barbenheimer memes. The "Barbenheimer" trend, which juxtaposed the biopic with the Warner Bros. "Barbie" film, sparked criticism for allegedly trivializing atomic warfare with inappropriate humor. Following backlash and social media apologies from Warner Bros., Japanese distributor Bitters End has now confirmed "Oppenheimer" will be screened, inviting audiences to form their own opinions. The film, which focuses on the father of the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and explores profound themes of guilt and destruction, has been highly successful elsewhere, grossing nearly $950 million worldwide, and earning extensive praise for its unique approach to the biographical film genre.
