Apple's first theatrical triumph, F1 The Movie, is now streaming in your home theater with up to 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio.
In 2023, Apple Studios debuted its first theatrical features, including Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon.
Soon after, the theatrical strategy was abandoned due to poor theater attendance. Wolfs shifted directly to streaming, with only F1 The Movie's contract preserved for an international theatrical release.
