The Apple streaming service, Apple TV+, is showing no signs of slowing down in its mission to bring fresh and exciting content to its subscribers. This time, Apple is going one step further and bringing Martin Scorsese’s next movie to theaters before streaming.
The movie titled “Killers of the Flower Moon,” is based on an incriminating, yet little-known incident from 1924 in which a group of white men in Oklahoma conspired to kill all members of the Osage tribe to gain ownership of the mineral rights of their lands. The story is directed by Martin Scorsese, widely regarded as one of the greatest directors of all time, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
The decision to bring the movie to theaters marks a major shift for Apple and its streaming service, which usually released its original content exclusively online. The choice of releasing the movie in theaters first is significant, as it shows Apple’s commitment to expanding into the movie theater industry.
The decision by Apple to bring Martin Scorsese’s next movie to theaters before streaming also signifies their respect and admiration for the traditional movie industry and its classic experiences. The theatrical physical experience is incredibly important for many film-lovers, and this move by Apple serves as an acknowledgment to that.
As for when the movie will be available for streaming, Apple has not made an official announcement yet. However, it is expected to be released in early 2022, by which point it will likely have already been out in theaters for some time.
In any case, Apple’s decision to release Martin Scorsese’s movie in theaters first is great news for both movie theaters and Apple TV+ subscribers. Movie-goers will get to experience the film on the big screen with all the grandeur of a theatrical release, while those who prefer a more convenient streaming platform will still get to enjoy the movie. It will be interesting to see if this move will become a trend for Apple, and whether other streaming services will follow in its footsteps.
