Max subscribers danced the night away with Barbie, and now Peacock subscribers are gaining the other inescapable movie of the summer: Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
As of Friday, Oppenheimer is streaming exclusively on NBCUniversal’s streaming service. The three-hour thriller stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, often referred to as the “father of the atomic bomb,” and joins Nolan’s films Dunkirk, Inception, The Dark Knight Trilogy (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises) and Memento on the service.
Oppenheimer initially hit theaters in July (on the same day as Greta Gerwig’s doll-themed comedy) and has grossed more than $950 million worldwide. Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr. and Florence Pugh are also in the cast, and the movie won five Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture Drama. Here’s more on the Peacock service, and how a VPN could potentially assist with streaming.
When to watch Oppenheimer on Peacock
Oppenheimer hit Peacock in the early morning hours on Feb 16, (5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT, to be exact) and is available to stream now.
Don’t have Peacock? You can subscribe to ad-supported Peacock Premium for $6 a month or mostly ad-free Peacock Premium for $12 a month. You may be eligible to get Peacock for free or at a discount if you’re a student or a Spectrum, Xfinity internet or Instacart customer.Â
Oppenheimer won’t be on the free tier of Peacock, so you’ll need to upgrade if that’s the version of Peacock you currently use. You can also rent the film for $6 from services like Amazon and Vudu.
Know you want to watch Peacock for at least a year? You can opt to pay an annual price up front. Peacock Premium is $60 a year and Premium Plus is $120, and both save you some money over paying monthly for the same period of time.
