Guillermo Del Toro recently endorsed the significance of physical media, aligning with Christopher Nolan’s views on film ownership in response to streaming trends. Variety reported Nolan’s commentary during discussions about the home release of Oppenheimer, a $950 million-grossing atomic bomb drama set to hit Blu-ray and digital platforms this month.

Del Toro, echoing Nolan’s sentiments, shared the director’s remarks on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), underlining the responsibility associated with owning physical copies. “Physical media is almost a Fahrenheit 451 level of responsibility,” wrote Del Toro, emphasizing the role film enthusiasts play as custodians of beloved films for future generations.
