Christopher Nolan defends the sound mix in his latest film "Oppenheimer," stating that he refuses to re-record actors' dialogue in post-production. Despite complaints about the difficulty in understanding dialogue against the score and sound design, Nolan prefers to use the original performances captured on set. He acknowledges the risk of using loud IMAX cameras but mentions improvements in camera technology and software that filter out camera noise. Despite the dialogue issues, "Oppenheimer" has achieved significant box office success, surpassing $400 million worldwide in less than two weeks and expected to gross over $200 million domestically by its third weekend.
