Oppenheimer Interview: Emma Thomas on the Benefits of the 3-Hour Runtime

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer clocks in at a whopping 181 minutes. And it couldn't afford to be any more than that, according to producer Emma Thomas, who told Collider's Perri Nemiroff about the editing process behind the film—and what the edit helped save, when Nolan realized he had to cut half an hour from the movie without losing any scenes, in order to secure a release on IMAX.

While the film has defied expectations at the box office—it may seem a minor detail, but the length of a film can certainly impact its gross, as it restricts the number of screenings per day—Thomas confesses she wasn't thrilled when she first read Nolan's screenplay and knew she was looking at more than three hours of film.

However, eventually that changed. Find out why in this Oppenheimer interview!
