“Oppenheimer” simply turned the highest-grossing movie primarily based on a real-life particular person to ever hit the massive display screen, and its 2nd-place competitors shares one thing in frequent … Rami Malek.
Indeed, the actor stars in each Christopher Nolan‘s newest blockbuster — in a scene-stealing second, no much less — in addition to “Bohemian Rhapsody” … the biopic about Freddie Mercury … which, up till this Sunday, was the highest canine when it got here to flicks about historic figures.

That modified, nevertheless, after “Oppenheimer” crossed an enormous threshold on the worldwide field workplace … the quantity being $912 million, which is how a lot its made in its theatrical run.
That barely edges out Rami’s ‘BH’ … which peaked at $910M whereas it was nonetheless out. Below that may be a important drop-off in Clint Eastwood‘s “American Sniper,” which revamped $540 mil on the world field workplace. After that … “The Greatest Showman,” “The King’s Speech” and so forth.
Again … the frequent denominator for the 2 crown jewels in this class is Rami. He was clearly the lead star in ‘Bohemian’ — profitable an Oscar for Best Actor in that — and he has a vital function in “Oppenheimer” as nicely … when he outs RDJ as the massive unhealthy towards the tip.
Assuming “Oppenheimer” goes on to swoop up some statuettes subsequent 12 months — like most everybody expects it to — Rami can say he is been in two Academy Award-winning movies.
He’s been somewhat picky with appearing components recently, but it surely’s clear this man is aware of good films when sees them. A observe to Hollywood — hitch your wagon to RM’s star … his flicks win!
