The historical epic will open in cinemas exclusively on November 22 before streaming globally on Apple TV+ on an undetermined date. Sony Pictures will partner with Apple on the theatrical rollout.
Apple has been moving more aggressively into the theatrical space as it looks to bolster its streaming service by raising the profile of its movies.
The company is backing “Killers of the Flower Moon”, the Henry Cavill spy thriller “Argylle”, as well as “Ghosted”, a romantic action-adventure movie starring Chris Evans and Ana de Armas.
