Here’s all we need to know about the OTT release of the two movies that made the world turn in July.
When And How Will Greta Gerwig’s Barbie Be Available Online?
The Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling acted Barbie has taken the world into its hands. The movie has made Greta Gerwig, the first woman to achieve a lot of feats. From selling a billion tickets to becoming Warner Bros’ best seller. Barbie has seen it all. For how long will the theatergoers have all the fun of Barbie? To entice home viewers, the movie is now ready to be pre-ordered on Amazon Prime Video. For a sum of $19.99.
The movie is also ready to be released digitally on the 5th of September, 2023. If in case you are wondering why the movie took nearly 3 months to release digitally, here’s the answer. Distributors Warner Bros had given the movie a theatrical release window of 45 days. However, concerns regarding the movie’s release in HBO Max were also addressed. It is unlikely that the movie would grace the screens of HBO Max viewers until late September or Early October.
How To Watch Oppenheimer Via Online Streaming Platforms?
As mentioned above, every movie has a theatrical release window. This window depends on the director and the movie. Unlike Barbie, which had a 45-day window, Oppenheimer is a bit different. The Christopher Nolan movie had requested a window of 90 to 120 days, which sums up to nearly 3 to 4 months.
So, while Barbie is all set for the online release, Oppenheimer might take a little longer. Predictions do tell us that if the window does get extended, a request made by Nolan, then the movie could be released by mid-October. However, it is clear that the movie will not make it to the screens’ of viewers before November of 2023.
The movie’s rights are most likely in the hands of Peacock and Amazon Prime Video.
Both the movies have had a fair and square competition amongst each other. Both are breaking records and are on the way to winning multiple awards in the next season.
