Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer will begin streaming on Peacock from 13 August, arriving as another Nolan epic, The Odyssey, continues its strong run in cinemas. The timing highlights Nolan's remarkable box office consistency, with the 2023 biopic having grossed roughly $983 million worldwide and now poised to draw fresh attention as its successor approaches the billion-dollar mark.

Oppenheimer, based on the biography American Prometheus and starring Cillian Murphy in an Academy Award-winning role, became a cultural phenomenon in 2023 as one half of the "Barbenheimer" double-feature craze. The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon and released this year, has taken $911 million globally after three weekends and is on track to become Nolan's third billion-dollar film, following the two Dark Knight sequels.
