Oppenheimer finally gets Blu-ray and digital release date

Can you hear the music? Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s unprecedented blockbuster, has just got its Blu-ray and digital release date.

Whether or not it sweeps the Oscars or crawls across the $1 billion mark, Oppenheimer may just be the greatest Hollywood success story of the decade so far.

The ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenon proved that cinemagoers are suffering a hangover from the gluttony of ill-considered IP and superhero slop; original stories brought to life by today’s best filmmakers are putting butts in seats and defying the odds.

While it’s still occupying screens across the world, Nolan fans will soon be able to revisit the eardrum-rattling highs of Oppenheimer from the comfort of their homes – here’s what you need to know.

Oppenheimer Blu-ray and digital release date

Oppenheimer will arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital on November 21, 2023.

Physical editions of the film, including limited edition steelbooks, will be available from Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and other major retailers. There aren’t any live pre-order listings right now, but we’ll update this space as soon as you can get your order in.

They will also come with more than three hours of special features, which include:
