Apple’s action-comedy movie “Wolfs,” starring Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney, premiered today exclusively on Apple TV+. The movie premiered today as an Apple TV+ exclusive, following a limited theatrical release last week.
Two rival fixers (George Clooney and Brad Pitt) cross paths when they’re both called in to help cover up a prominent New York official’s misstep. Over one explosive night, they’ll have to set aside their petty grievances-and their egos-to finish the job.
The film, directed by Jon Watts, best-known for directing the recent Spider-Man trilogy, “Wolfs” follows two professional fixers played by Pitt and Clooney who must team up to cover up a high-profile crime. The cast also includes Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, and Richard Kind.
While Apple had planned a wide theatrical release for the film, the company instead made the unexpected decision of doing a limited release. While the film received a positive reception from critics, Apple is rumored to have pulled the film from wide release due to the less than spectacular box office performance of some recent Apple Original films.
Apple appears to be reconsidering its film release strategy, as another upcoming film, “Blitz,” is also scheduled for a limited theatrical run before premiering on the streaming service. Currently, only one Apple movie, the Formula One drama “F1” (also starring Brad Pitt), is scheduled for a wide theatrical release in June 2025.
While it may be changing its theatrical release strategy, Apple continues to produce high-profile films. Matt Dentler, head of features at Apple Original Films, recently described “Wolfs” as a “big event movie” and announced that a sequel is already in development.
“Wolfs is the kind of big event movie that makes Apple TV+ such an exceptional home for the best in entertainment,” Apple Original Films head of features Matt Dentler said in a statement. “With George and Brad’s remarkable and engaging chemistry under Jon Watts’ extraordinary direction, ‘Wolfs’ blends all the great elements of comedy, action, and drama into a hugely entertaining movie that will leave audiences ready for what’s next. Releasing the movie to theaters before making it widely available to Apple TV+ customers brings the best of both worlds to audiences, and we’re excited to see fans embrace the movie as we start working with Jon on the sequel.”
“Wolfs” is produced by Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures and Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment in partnership with Apple. The film is now available for viewing for all Apple TV+ subscribers.
