If you’re looking to purchase a new copy of this summer’s blockbuster historical epic Oppenheimer on the best format possible, you might have to wait a little while.
There has been a shortage of 4K Ultra HD copies of the film, which hit home video this past Tuesday after a lengthy theatrical run.
Per Deadline, stores like Best Buy and Amazon have been sold out of the film in the past week. Online pre-orders had also been pushed out past the expected Nov. 21 release date at Amazon.
Universal, the studio that distributed the film, explained in a statement to Deadline that they’re working to restock copies of the film on 4K Ultra HD nationwide.
“We are happy so many consumers are embracing Oppenheimer in 4K Ultra HD and understand that some retailers may currently be out of stock,” the studio’s home entertainment division said in a statement provided to Deadline. “Universal is working to replenish those retailers quickly so fans can watch the film at home in the best picture quality possible.”
While there might be copies near you at your local retailers or available online, you might also have to wait to watch the Christopher Nolan film if you wish to do so with your very own 4K Ultra HD disc.
However, those who don’t mind renting it or owning a digital copy can watch the film without needing a disc to do so through premium video on demand.
