‘Oppenheimer’ Sets Post-Oscars Release Date in Japanese Cinemas


'Oppenheimer,' which remains controversial in Japan due to its subject matter, will release in Japanese cinemas after the Oscars.

Indie distributor Bitters End has finally set a theatrical release date in Japan for Christopher Nolan’s lauded “ Oppenheimer ” – after the Oscars. The two atomic bombs created by Oppenheimer and his team were detonated in 1945 over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens. On social media, Bitters End said in December: “This is a spectacular true story drama that depicts the unknown life of a man who holds the fate of the world in his hands while at the same time facing a crisis that could destroy it […] It has been hailed as Nolan’s best work ever and is considered a top candidate for various film awards.”
