Where to watch Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX

Oppenheimer is finally here. As one-half of the now-famous “Barbenheimer” pop culture event, the Christopher Nolan movie has received an unusual amount of advance hype and breathless anticipation for a three-hour movie about the birth of the atom bomb. I’m not complaining though; any amount of additional press concentrating on the movie can only be a good thing, and is poised to turn the original drama into an unexpected summertime hit.

Nolan is a movie lover, and part of that love is telling his stories in the biggest and best formats possible. Remember The Dark Knight? Of course you do. He shot the already famous opening scene in IMAX as a way of accentuating the drama and intensity of Joker’s bank heist. For Oppenheimer, he’s topped that by shooting the entire movie in IMAX 70mm and 70mm large-format film. Oppenheimer has already made history by being the first film to have black-and-white sections shot in IMAX. Not too shabby, huh?

The bad news is that not every theater is equipped with the necessary equipment to properly see Oppenheimer in all of its big-screen glory. In fact, there are fewer than 50 movie theaters in the entire world that can show Oppenheimer as Nolan truly intended. Where are these theaters? Find out by reading the list below.

Where to watch Packers vs. Eagles in special Friday night game

Every season, the NFL plays multiple international games in several countries. Typically, these international games are played in Europe. In 2024, there will be three games in London and one in Germany. However, the NFL is heading to South America for the first time in league history as the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will play their Week 1 contest on Friday night in Brazil.

The game also marks the first time in 50 years that an NFL regular season game will be played on a Friday night in Week 1. The last opening weekend game on a Friday happened on September 18, 1970, and featured the Cardinals taking on the Rams. Find out how to watch this historic game below.

The first Thursday of September means one thing: the NFL is back. After a long offseason, the NFL returns with the 2024 NFL Kickoff Game. Per tradition, the defending Super Bowl champion gets to play in the NFL's opening night game. This year, that honor belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs. Before kickoff, the Chiefs will reveal their new Super Bowl banner.

After the pregame festivities, the Chiefs will play Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The game is a rematch of the last season's AFC Championship, which the Chiefs won by a score of 17-10. Last season, the Chiefs played in the 2023 Kickoff Game and lost to the Detroit Lions 21-20.

After two weeks of competition, it's time to say goodbye to the 2024 Paris Olympics. These Olympic Games have provided dramatic moments, sensational athletic accomplishments, and nail-biting finishes. One of the major takeaways from these Olympics will be the return to form for Simone Biles. The U.S. gymnast finished her 2024 Olympics with four medals: three gold and one silver.

In the pool, Katie Ledecky became the most decorated female U.S. Olympian of all time. Ledecky won four medals, including two gold, which brings her total to 14. Luckily for her fans, Ledecky plans to keep swimming in future competitions. But the impending Closing Ceremony means the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics countdown has begun.
