Oppenheimer is extending its run in IMAX theaters!
Originally set to end in the middle of August, the 70mm format screening of the Christopher Nolan film will now run until the end of the month, according to Variety.
“It actually looks better in film,” Imax CEO Richard Gelfond shared with the outlet on why the run was extended. “It’s not just about nostalgia. It’s a better experience.”
His comments echo Christopher‘s, who has urged fans to go see it in that format over a regular movie screen for the optimal experience.
Richard added that with Oppenheimer, the physical reels are 11 miles long and weigh 600 pounds.
The process is “time consuming and expensive,” he shared, but “worth it.”
Just last month, it was reported that some IMAX tickets for the movie were being re-sold at around $1000!
While Oppenheimer is still in theaters, a Bluray format will be coming soon. But just don’t expect any deleted scenes to be on it.

Charles Oppenheimer, the grandson of the real J. Robert Oppenheimer, has been doing some press to help promote the new Christopher Nolan movie, which is now in theaters.
The 48-year-old, who is a founding member of The Oppenheimer Project, joined family members for a conversation hosted by The Atomic Museum on Thursday (July 27) at the Beverly Theater in Las Vegas.
In an interview with Time magazine, which was published earlier this week, Charles revealed the one scene in Oppenheimer that he would have removed.
“I was bracing myself for not feeling great about [the movie], even though I talked to Chris Nolan and was very impressed by him,” Charles told Time. “When I talked to Chris Nolan, at one point he said something roughly like, ‘I know how to tell a story out of this subject. There are going to be parts that you have to dramatize a bit and parts that are changed. As family members, I think you’re going to like some parts and dislike some parts.’ That’s probably led into my acceptance of the movie, even though I saw it very late, just when it came out. As a dramatized representation of the history, it was really largely accurate. There are parts that I disagree with, but not really because of Nolan.”
