Oppenheimer gets a February streaming release date – and it's a huge win for Peacock users

Cillian Murphy's Robert J Oppenheimer holds his hat and smiles at an assembled crowd in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer movie.

In the midst of its 2024 awards season dominance, Oppenheimer has landed an official streaming release date – and, in a coup for Peacock, it'll be a movie exclusive on the streaming minnow.

Christopher Nolan's three-hour biopic, which tells the tale of theoretical physicist Robert J. Oppenheimer, the so-called Father of the Atomic Bomb, will make its formal streaming bow on Friday, February 16. The Universal-distributed movie has been available to rent or buy since November 2023, but this is the first time it'll be part of a streaming service's film back catalog.
