We reported earlier today that Apple was looking to release some of its upcoming Apple TV+ films to theaters before they debut on the streaming service. Now Variety reports “The Banker,” “Hala,” and “The Elephant Queen” will all be released in theaters before coming to Apple TV+.
“The Banker,” stars Samuel L. Jackson and Mackie as “real estate and finance moguls in the Jim Crow era,” and will be released to theaters on December 6, and will debut on Apple TV+ in January.
“The Elephant Queen,” which premiered in New York this week, will be in theaters on October 18 and will be available on Apple TV+ in November.
“Hala,” a movie about a Muslim girl reconciling her family traditions with modern life will be in theaters on November 22, coming to Apple TV+ at some point in December. Greenwich Entertainment, which released the recent Oscar winner “Free Solo,” will advise Apple on that release.
Apple TV+ is scheduled to launch on November 1. The new streaming service will be priced at $4.99 per month and it will come with a one week free trial.
