Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is headed to streaming next month.
The Golden Globe-winning film is set to hit Peacock on February 16, in the middle of Oscar season. Oscar nominations will be announced on January 23. The ceremony itself is set to air on March 10.
The movie was released on 4K Ultra HD, DVD, Blu-ray, and digital platforms on November 22. The digital release includes almost three hours of special features, including special interviews with Nolan about the process of filming the epic.
The initial digital release date was in line with how long we expected to wait as the director is famously a champion of theatrical releases for his films. His latest epic about J. Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb was no different, as he agreed a long theatrical release window for it.
When he ended his partnership with Warner Bros. and began working with Universal for the release of Oppenheimer, they made a deal on a guaranteed theatrical release window. Back in 2021, Universal Filmed Entertainment Group chairman Donna Langley confirmed they’d accommodate at least a 100-day window between cinematic release and digital release (H/T Screen Daily).
For more on the movie, we spoke to director Nolan about deciding to commit to the R-rating of the film, its blockbuster status, and why he didn’t want to bring judgment into the narrative. We also spoke to lead actor Cillian Murphy about working with Nolan on their sixth film together.
