“ Oppenheimer ” will get a theatrical release in Japan, after all. The Japanese distributor Bitters End said Thursday that the Christopher Nolan film will play in the country’s theaters in 2024, without specifying an exact date. But it had been a lingering question whether it would ever get a theatrical release in Japan.

Bitters End said that “Oppenheimer” was “a singular cinematic experience that transcends traditional storytelling and must be seen on the big screen.”© Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.
