When Can You Go to the Bathroom During Oppenheimer?

If you want to use the bathroom during Oppenheimer, don’t ask Christopher Nolan when to leave. “He’s not that sympathetic to toilet breaks,” says star Cillian Murphy according to CBR.com.

Oppenheimer isn’t full of action scenes where you can run out and avoid missing plot points. There is a lot of dialogue you won’t want to miss.

If you do have to use the bathroom during Oppenheimer, we recommend going right after Oppenheimer recruits scientists for Los Alamos. They start building a town and you can slip out during that scene. 

If you can hold it, we recommend holding it, but if you gotta go, you gotta go. 

Are there End Credit Scenes for Oppenheimer? 

There are no mid-credit or end-credit scenes during Oppenheimer, so you can leave and use the bathroom right after the movie.
