Might be dumb question, but how are such complex movies like Oppenheimer or Interstellar edited?
Do they use a special program or do they edit with Premiere Pro / Davinci Resolve?
And does the movie get split up in different chunks so many editors can work on the movie at the same time?
If so how they do they make sure that everything fits with the music and sound effects timewise if it’s not edited as a whole?

To answer the last part of your question, usually the typical process is editing the raw scenes without score/music/sound effects/color grading. This is called picture lock, along with dialogue some mild sound/music will naturally be a part of that but it’s mainly about editing the footage together. Once picture locked the film is sound edited and sound designed, and color graded. This way everything can fit together because as the name implies, after picture lock nothing about the timing will be changed so all the other components of the film can start to be added on.
With many films ofc picture lock can be changed after the fact but generally that’s how the process goes to ensure sync of everything
