You won’t miss the face Rami Malek while watching Oppenheimer. An actor who appears in a film for a few minutes Christopher Nolanreceived an award Oscar Best Leading Actor for his role as Freddie Mercury in the box office hit Bohemian Rhapsody. Although it tells the story of Queen very nicely, Bohemian Rhapsody was so popular with audiences that it became the highest-grossing biopic of all time. However, from today everything has changed.

Oppenheimer is the most viewed biopic in cinema history

With the necessary premise that all of the following numbers are not updated for inflation, let’s just for fun take a look at the data from the biopic-only site Box Office Mojo, specifically for the first five positions:

• 5. King’s Speech (2010) – US$484,068,861
• 4. The Greatest Showman (2017) – US$435,732,529
• 3. American sniper (2014) – US$547,459,020
• 2. Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) – US$910,809,311
• 1. Oppenheimer (2023) – US$912,701,115

Movie Nolan It is now the highest-grossing biopic in the world. However, we are updating the rating to also include Passion of Christ which is not covered in many online newspapers. Isn’t this a biopic too? It even comes from four books, not just one, that you may have heard of: the second gospel. Matteo, Marco, Luke AND John.

• 5. The Greatest Showman (2017) – US$435,732,529
• 4. American sniper (2014) – US$547,459,020
• 3. Passion of Christ (2004) – $612,054,506
• 2. Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) – US$910,809,311
• 1. Oppenheimer (2023) – US$912,701,115

At this point, there is one more ranking that can be taken into account, namely the ranking of the highest-grossing banned films of all time. When in the USA a work receives ban R (Restricted) means that unaccompanied minors under the age of 17 are not permitted to enter the room. The film that was released under this ban and received the highest box office receipts worldwide is Jokera total of $1,074,458,282, an amount likely no longer achievable Oppenheimer.

The Passion of the Christ remains the most watched biographical and banned film in the United States.

You may say… but what is the point of comparing the box office of banned films also taking into account countries in which the ban (if any) was different from the American one? Exactly, you can also ask all the online magazines that publish and republish these ratings, because, as we know, ratings are popular precisely because of the superficiality and immediacy that characterize them. So Let’s limit the ranking of the R-rated films that most lured Americans to the movies to the United States alone. (always without calculating inflation):

• 7. Oppenheimer (2023) – US$318,634,610
• 6. Deadpool 2 (2018) – US$324,591,735
• 5. This (2017) – $328,874,981
• 4. Joker (2019) – US$335,477,657
• 3. American sniper (2014) – US$350,159,020
• 2. Dead Pool (2016) – US$363,070,709
• 1. Passion of Christ (2004) – $370,782,930

And now we find out that Passion of Christ it’s both biographical film be Rated R Movies which boasts the highest revenue in the US market alone.
