Oppenheimer is going digital. Christopher Nolan’s summer blockbuster will be released on digital streaming platforms and Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD on Nov. 21.
The streaming and Blu-ray release dates were announced on Tuesday (Oct. 17). Oppenheimer will be available to stream on Prime Video, Apple TV+, Xfinity, Verizon Fios and other platforms next month.
Pre-orders for the digital release will reportedly begin on Oct. 18, according to Vudu, Fandango’s streaming website. The Blu-ray is currently up for pre-order at Best Buy and will be available at Amazon, Target and Walmart.
Nolan wrote and directed the film, which is about theoretical physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as the “father of the atomic bomb.” Cillian Murphy stars as Oppenheimer.
Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh and Casey Affleck are included in the cast.
“I view Oppenheimer as the most important person who ever lived,” Nolan said in an interview with CBS earlier this year. “Oppenheimer’s story is one of the biggest stories imaginable.”
“By unleashing atomic power, he gave us the power to destroy ourselves that we never had before, and that changes the human equation,” Nolan added.
Oppenheimer was adapted from the 2005 novel American Prometheus. The film was released the same day as Barbie on July 21. With so many fans opting for the #Barbieheimer double feature during opening weekend, Oppenheimer debuted in second place behind Barbie and has raked in nearly $1 billion at the box office.
You’ll have to wait another month before you can buy and stream Oppenheimer, but if you want to dive deeper into the film, purchase the official screenplay below.
