Apple Studios already has a Best Picture Oscar for “CODA.”
They obviously want another one. They have a chance with Martin Scorsese’s spectacular drama, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” So now they’ve changed their game plan.
Seeing that “Oppenheimer” has made $300 million for Universal, Apple will go for it big time with “Killers.” They’ve scrapped plans for an October 6th limited theatrical release. Instead they will go wide to theaters on October 20th, worldwide, and make a big deal of this one. There is no streaming date set yet. Kudos to them.
“Killers” premiered at Cannes, and now it’s being seen at press screenings. The response is huge. I told you in May in the movie’s first review that Scorsese had a Best Picture here. My guess is the Oscar race will be between these two movies, with some other action from “Maestro” and a couple of others.
“Killers” stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone, all of whom will be nominated for Oscars, not to mention Scorsese as Best Director and all the below the line categories as well.
