Oppenheimer will finally arrive on Peacock on Feb. 16., right smack dab in the middle of Oscar season. Oscar nominations come out Jan. 23.
The Christopher Nolan directed movie just won five Golden Globes including Best Director, Best Feature Drama, Best Actor Drama Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor Robert Downey Jr, and Best Original Score for composer Ludwig Göransson.
At $952M, Oppenheimer was the third-highest grossing movie of 2023. That amount of box office is an anomaly for a 3 hour drama, specifically one about a physicist. Oppenheimer made $326M at the domestic box office, the fifth highest grossing movie of 2023.
Talk about a long-window here to Peacock. Don’t ever say they don’t exist. While Oppenheimer came out on DVD and digital on Nov. 21, it’s road from screen to Peacock was more than a six-month trek.
This weekend, Oppenheimer is up for 13 Critics Choice Awards nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Acting Ensemble, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actress Emily Blunt, Best Supporting Actor Downey Jr., Best Actor Murphy, Best Score, Production Design, Editing, VFX and Hair and Makeup.
