Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter At the end of last summer, Flix Brewhouse faced a dire situation, albeit one that wasn’t unique to the Texas-based movie theater chain. There weren’t any movies to show in August. “We were going to A24 or Briarcliff Entertainment saying, ‘Does anyone have anything we can put on our screens?” recalls Chris Randleman, the company’s chief revenue officer. That’s not the case this summer as exhibitors grapple with a different reality. Can several back-to-back blockbusters succeed at once? Or will the glut of big movies cannibalize each other? Those are the big questions as popcorn season kicks into high gear with the arrivals of Harrison Ford’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” (June 30), Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” (July 12), Greta Gerwig’s neon-coated “Barbie” (July 21) and Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb drama “Oppenheimer” (also on July 21). All of those films carry big budgets and require outsized ticket sales to turn a profit.

Christopher Nolan has revealed that early screenings of Oppenheimer have left audiences “devastated”, with some even describing it as a horror film.The biographical drama stars Cillian Murphy as the titular J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is known as “the father of the atomic bomb”, and will be released in cinemas on July 21.“Some people leave the movie absolutely devastated,” Nolan said of early screenings in a new interview with Wired magazine.“They can’t speak.

Next month, Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” faces off against Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” on its opening weekend, a showdown that very well may christen the summer’s biggest movie. In “Barbie,” moviegoers know what to expect, a smart, quippy film from Gerwig with a meta twist on its subject.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Christopher Nolan has a warning for anyone purchasing “Oppenheimer” tickets: The film might emotionally destroy you. Speaking to Wired magazine in a new interview, Nolan said that some early “Oppenheimer” viewers have had a visceral reaction to the film, which follows theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) as he creates the atomic bomb to end World War II. “Some people leave the movie absolutely devastated,” Nolan said about early screenings. “They can’t speak. I mean, there’s an element of fear that’s there in the history and there in the underpinnings. But the love of the characters, the love of the relationships, is as strong as I’ve ever done.”

“Like it or not,” declared Christopher Nolan at CinemaCon in April, “J. Robert Oppenheimer is the most important person who ever lived. He made the world we live in, for better or for worse.”

McKinley Franklin editor Historian Kai Bird, co-author of the 2005 book that inspired Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” has shared his thoughts about the upcoming film, revealing that he has high hopes for how it can resonate with the public during a conversation with David Nirenberg at Leon Levy Center for Biography in New York. “I am, at the moment, stunned and emotionally recovering from having seen it,” Bird said. “I think it is going to be a stunning artistic achievement, and I have hopes it will actually stimulate a national, even global conversation about the issues that Oppenheimer was desperate to speak out about — about how to live in the atomic age, how to live with the bomb and about McCarthyism — what it means to be a patriot, and what is the role for a scientist in a society drenched with technology and science, to speak out about public issues.”

The Directors Guild of America has released a new video of associate directors and stage managers touting their support of the guild’s tentative agreement for new film and TV contract. The pact, which covers directors and members of their teams, is being put to the members for ratification.  

When Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” hits theaters next month, it marks the first film by the director not produced by Warner Bros. in nearly 20 years.

“The Flash”. Releasing on June 16th, the DC film hailed by James Gunn as one of the greatest superhero movies ever made finds Ezra Miller getting their own solo movie, complete with crossover into multiple eras of DC films in dream team-ups that we never thought were possible, such as bringing back Michael Keaton as Batman (and plenty more cameos).

On July 21, film fans will have a big choice to make. Do you go to the theater to see Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” or Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer?” Well, adding a new wrinkle to that is the fact that Lionsgate is releasing a horror movie, “Cobweb,” to counter-program the two big releases.  READ MORE: Summer 2023 Movie Preview: 52 Must-See Films To Watch As seen in the trailer for “Cobweb,” the film follows the story of a young boy who hears a tap-tap-tap from inside his bedroom wall each night.

It’s summer movie season and there’s a big box office battle brewing in July.
