Prepare for a cinematic explosion as the atomic saga of J. Robert Oppenheimer lands on the streaming giant, Peacock!
The platform has secured the streaming rights for Christopher Nolan’s record-shattering epic biographical thriller, “Oppenheimer,” from Universal Pictures. This global cinematic phenomenon, boasting five Golden Globe Awards, is poised to captivate audiences on Peacock, starting February 16.
“Oppenheimer” propels viewers into the enigmatic world of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, portrayed brilliantly by Golden Globe winner Cillian Murphy. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the film takes viewers on a pulse-pounding journey as Oppenheimer races against the Nazis to develop the first atomic bomb—a weapon that could either save or doom the world.
The star-studded cast, including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh, brings this paradoxical tale to life with their brilliant performances.
The film premiered at Le Grand Rex in Paris on July 11, 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States and the United Kingdom on July 11 via Universal Pictures. It surpassed all expectations, grossing over $954 million worldwide against a $100 million production budget. It claimed its spot as the highest-grossing biographical film, the highest-grossing World War II-related film, and the second-highest-grossing R-rated film of 2023.
Met with widespread critical acclaim, “Oppenheimer” garnered several awards and nominations including eight nominations at the 81st Golden Globe Awards, winning a leading five. It also received 13 nominations at the 29th Critics’ Choice Awards and the 28th Satellite Awards; it won a special achievement award for Best Ensemble in a Motion Picture during the latter ceremony.
Peacock, committed to delivering diverse content, sweetens the deal by adding Christopher Nolan classics to its lineup from February 1, including “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Dunkirk,” “Inception,” and “Memento.”
