It remains to be seen how, exactly, Apple will approach theatrical movies. “There all kinds of debates all the time, back-and-forth, but there’s no question internally that we make our movies for our members and we really want them to watch them on Netflix,” he added. He noted that theatrical releases were generally only given because the filmmakers demanded it. “We’re in the business of entertaining our members with Netflix movies on Netflix,” Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said during an earnings call last year. Last year, the company made the rare move to play Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery in a small number of theatres one month before it came to Netflix, but that was the exception rather than the rule. Apple will also have to spend on promoting these movies, since theatrical releases require more expansive marketing strategies than smaller, streaming-only titles.Īpple’s expanded theatrical approach would be quite distinct from Netflix, which has historically only released select movies in cinemas for a limited time. As Bloomberg points out, these distributors will all have their own cuts to take for instance, Paramount will release Killers of the Flower Moon in theatres for a 10 percent fee. So far, these plans include Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Argyle from Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn.īloomberg notes that Apple is spending hundreds of millions on Killers of the Flower Moon, in particular, so it wants to turn that into a “cultural event.” The company’s film ambitions have also reportedly only expanded after CODA won Best Picture last year, beating out Netflix to become the first streamer to take home the Oscars’ top honour.Ĭurrently, Apple is said to only be having discussions with distributors, as it still needs to work out fees and other specifics. As part of this new $1 billion annual investment, Apple will seek distributors to bring its original films to thousands of theatres. ![]() The service’s catalogue offers a handful of original films, like Greyhound, Finch and the Oscar-winning CODA, but otherwise, it’s all about shows.Īpple has also only given some of these films a small, limited theatrical release - just long enough to make them eligible for awards like the Oscars, which require movies to play in cinemas. This includes buzzworthy series like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show and Severance. ![]() To date, Apple has reportedly spent billions on original programming, but it’s primarily been focused on streaming TV shows for Apple TV+. ![]() The goal, says the outlet, is for Apple to grow its presence in Hollywood and bring in more subscribers to Apple TV+.
