U.S. Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle, takes a moment to pose for a photo with his sniper rifle during one of his four deployments to Iraq. He remains the deadliest sniper in American military history with 160 confirmed kills.

Kyle survived his 4 tours in Iraq, but would be killed at a Texas gun range on February 2, 2013, by a veteran he was trying to help overcome PTSD.

Fair winds and following seas, Legend. You will never be forgotten.

'Oppenheimer has overtaken Bohemian Rhapsody to become the highest ever grossing biopic at the worldwide box office.

Christopher Nolan’s film about J Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Manhattan Project’s Los Alamos laboratory that developed the first nuclear weapons, has passed $912m in revenue across the globe since its cinema release on 19 July, according to the Box Office Mojo website. Bohemian Rhapsody, which focused on Freddie Mercury and the band Queen, took over $910m following its release in October 2018.

Oppenheimer has no doubt benefited from its simultaneous release with Barbie, an even bigger box-office hit (currently standing at $1.4bn worldwide), with the #Barbenheimer hashtag encouraging cinemagoers to watch both films. Bohemian Rhapsody had considerable help from its success on the awards circuit, winning four Oscars, including best actor for Rami Malek, two Baftas and two Golden Globes. Oppenheimer, which stars Cillian Murphy, also features Malek in small role as nuclear physicist David L Hill.

Prior to Bohemian Rhapsody, the most successful biopic was American Sniper, about US army marksman Chris Kyle ($547m) and released in 2014; other successful examples of the genre include royal drama The King’s Speech ($484m), Phineas T Barnum musical The Greatest Showman ($435m), and stock-market crime comedy The Wolf of Wall Street ($406m).'

I just realized something about “House of Ashes”. The game flipped the usual dynamic that you’d see in American/Western war movies since Jason is the hateful, xenophobic soldier while Salim is the courageous soldier who is just trying to get back to his kid.

I swear, most American war movies portray the enemy faction as this single-minded, hateful group of people, especially if they’re non-white (example: Lone Survivor, American Sniper). Meanwhile, the American soldiers are wholesome guys who just want to go back home and be with their family. So, it’s nice to see a story where it’s the opposite for once.

Subverting your expectations, but in a good way.

'Oppenheimer has achieved a massive box office feat for a biographical movie. The Christopher Nolan film stars Cillian Murphy as theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, leading a massive ensemble cast that also includes Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh. The movie opened opposite Greta Gerwig's Barbie on July 21, forming one half of the box office juggernaut known by the portmanteau "Barbenheimer."

Per Collider, the Oppenheimer box office has surpassed the $910.8 million gross of Bohemian Rhapsody this weekend. This feat makes it the highest-grossing biographical movie of all time. Other titles it has surpassed in its rise to the top include 2014's American Sniper ($547.4 million) and the 2017 musical The Greatest Showman ($435.7 million).

Will Oppenheimer Join The $1 Billion Club?

This historic Oppenheimer record comes at a time when the movie has already shattered a wide variety of records. Included among Oppenheimer's accomplishments are becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie of the year and the highest-grossing World War II movie of all time. At the time of writing, it is also the third highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide, behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Barbie.

It remains to be seen how high the movie will climb, especially since it is still only available in theaters. The Oppenheimer streaming release date has not yet been announced, which could allow the movie enough runway to continue to approach the $1 billion milestone. However, this will get more and more difficult for the movie the farther it gets from its premiere.

Oppenheimer is currently on track to gross less than $4 million every upcoming weekend at the box office. Considering it has a gap of roughly $100 million to close before it reaches $1 billion, it doesn't seem likely to cross that mark before it's out of theaters. While international markets will help boost its chances, it faces stiff competition from upcoming titles including Saw X, The Expendables 4, and The Exorcist: Believer, which will slowly push it off more and more screens.'
