‘Oppenheimer’ Surpasses ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ With Best Weekend Launch On Peacock

'Oppenheimer' has broken the record for best weekend launch on Peacock, surpassing that of last year's juggernaut 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie.'

Grossing nearly $1 billion globally when it hit theaters last summer opposite Warner Bros’ Barbie, the film propels audiences into the paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it. It finds America locked in a devastating war, watching as physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) becomes the central figure in a pulse-pounding race against the Nazis to develop the first atomic bomb. A Nolan-scripted adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film also stars Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek and Kenneth Branagh.
