## Summary

Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning biographical thriller, has surged back onto premium video-on-demand charts, riding a wave of renewed interest following the worldwide release of Nolan's latest film, The Odyssey. The resurgence highlights how a director's new release can drive audiences back to their earlier work, with home-video and digital rental platforms benefiting from the cross-promotion.

Released in 2023, Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy as physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and won Nolan his first Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. It holds a "Certified Fresh" 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes and remains the highest-grossing Second World War film ever made, having outperformed box office expectations on release. Nolan's 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar, which has grossed more than $770 million worldwide, is also seeing a similar streaming revival; notably, both films feature The Odyssey star Matt Damon in supporting roles.
