‘Oppenheimer’ Surpasses ‘Super Mario Bros. Movie’ as Peacock’s Biggest Ever Launch for a Pay-One Film
'Oppenheimer' reached more viewers in its opening weekend on Peacock than any other pay-one film in the streamer's history.
That puts it ahead of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” which previously held the record for highest opening weekend viewership among films that landed on the streamer through its pay-one deal with Universal Pictures. “Oppenheimer” arrived on Peacock on Feb. 16, roughly seven months after its July 21 theatrical release, while “Mario” had its pay-one Peacock debut on Aug. 3 of 2022 following an April 5 opening in theaters — meaning “Oppenheimer” viewers had to wait longer before tuning in on streaming. “Oppenheimer” is currently considered a frontrunner for the 2024 Oscars, where it will be up for 13 awards including best picture, best director (Nolan), best actor (Cillian Murphy), best supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), best supporting actress (Emily Blunt) and best adapted screenplay.
