Oppenheimer isn't on Netflix, but here's where to watch it now

You know the story of the atomic bombs at the end of World War II. Do you know the story behind the man who created them? Oppenheimer is the movie to watch, but where can you stream it online?

Oppenheimer is the favorite heading into the Oscars. When it's all said and done, Oppenheimer should be heading home with wins for Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, and more.

J. Robert Oppenheimer is a name that many will know. He was responsible for the creation of the atomic bombs that hit two Japanese cities at the end of World War II. The atomic weapons changed war forever, but the man who created them realized the damage they could do and wanted to correct the wrong.

The movie that was all the rage this summer when paired with Barbie to create the epic "Barbenheimer" event is available to watch at home now, but unfortunately, it's not on Netflix. The film is now available to stream on Peacock since it's a Universal Pictures property. You can purchase or rent the movie on demand right now.

Oppenheimer is now streaming on Peacock

Of course, you’ll want to watch Oppenheimer at home, and you have been able to do so on Peacock since Friday, Feb. 16.

You can also rent the movie for $5.99 from digital retailers like Apple, Amazon, YouTube, Vudu, and Google Play right now. If you'd rather buy it, it's $19.99 and it is also available to purchase via physical media on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD.

There is some bad news about this movie. It isn’t going to come to Netflix. At least, not at first. This is a Universal Pictures movie, so the first streaming home is Peacock.

The second streaming home is likely Prime Video. While The Super Mario Bros. Movie will head to Netflix after a run at Peacock, other Universal Pictures movies have headed to Prime Video. It’s likely a deal with the animation studio vs. the live action studio.
