Oppenheimer VOD Release Is A Long Time Away!
Emma Thomas who is Christopher Nolan’s wife and the primary Producer in all of his films, was interviewed by Associated Press where she was asked about Oppenheimer’s video-on-demand release window and Thomas revealed Oppenheimer won’t open until November, four months after the movie’s theatrical premiere.

Since the beginning of “Barbenheimer,” the summer gross drastically improved, with the tally now standing $4.028 billion, the most since the summer of 2019, which hit $4.34 billion thanks, in part, to The Lion King and Spider-Man: Far From Home, which each eclipsed the billion-dollar mark globally. Both the blockbusters have triggered a spike in ticket sales by 16.6% helping Hollywood to go back to pre-pandemic levels for the first time in 4 years
