That's pretty neat... this is the sole reason id like a cut down Vision Pro for media consumption
I wish this important point wasn't buried at the end of the article.
Yep I read the list and I was a bit excited only to get to the end and see it’s US only.
This needs to be the future of Apple and it will Make Apple TV and real contender against the Netflixes of the world!
I don't understand why they wouldn't license more content like this..
fingers crossed they do and fingers crossed for the UK ha

Is this a preview of when Paramount merges with Skydance and Skydance goes with Apple TV+ as the new hub for everything Star Trek?
Maybe this will force me to finally see the Kill Bill Movies.

Given Apple's overlordly parenting/censorship, I'm very surprised to see Knocked Up and Wolf Of Wall Street on this list. Both are good movies, but Knocked Up is extremely foul-mouthed while Wolf of Wall Street is both foul-mouthed and lots and lots of sex and nudity.
No this is like your library asking for the physical copy back if you borrowed it for free.
LOL, in the hurry I read Citroën and thought: why the hell should Apple buy a car maker for movies.
Have any idea how many times 20 years ago I clutched a Sony Superbit DVD and said aloud "thank goodness this is the last time I'll ever need to buy this movie"?20 years ago that would be called "Renting a Movie"
Someone took the joke as a serious statement.
The price of rolling out a failed car would have been much higher, so Apple saved billions by cutting their losses, is another way to think about it….and reduced their tax liability by ten billion dollars….
In addition to probably figuring out lots of interesting things that will show up elsewhere in the future.
Back on topic: It will be interesting to see whether this is a one time foray or the start of something new.
Yawn, I think I saw four or five movies I'd be interested in watching again.
Talk to the people/firms that own the distribution rights because Apple has nothing to do with the fact that they can not offer these films outside of specific geographic areas.
Don’t really care for Apple +. I have two movie libraries movies purchased from the apple store & the physical media. I can find movies pretty much easier that way rather than subscribing to netflix, disney + etc, and searching to find my favourite show if they have it.

Im assuming apple had to pay for those rights for the US. Apple chose not to pay for the rights for EU. Macrumours chose to write an annoying article where the US only bit was right down the bottom.
Why? It’s an American website. They shouldnt have to label it just for your sake when some UK readers may actually care.
This is essentially an admission that their originals only strategy is not going to work.
Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing, but it indicates a clear pivot. These are good movies, but I’m betting the rights were relatively cheap.
Now do some really good TV shows. And fix the damn interface. Stop copying Disney, they don’t know what they’re doing either.
That's unfair. You have NO idea what happened behind the scenes. Perhaps there was a studio restriction that Apple couldn't do anything about. I wish people would stop trying to turn assumptions, often completely wrong, into reality with no objective basis for doing so.
That’s basically the conclusion I drew. Indecision. Apple still has to decide what they want atv to be. Portal to sell other streamers? The next Netflix or hbo? Now sports. Still looks hobbyish for now.
