She's likely going to be the equivalent of a "Bond girl" - who aren't generally known as incredible actors.

I guess she’s just trying to walk in the footsteps of Lady Gaga, who also can’t act yet probably made a “few” dollars trying to. Luckily Dua Lioa makes better music, so I’ll forgive any bad acting (haven’t seen her live and don’t intend to).
Is it just me that thinks $200M for a movie is ridiculously expensive? By the time you get 10 of these you're out $2B?? Do you know how many subscriptions you need to justify this $2B? Sounds to me like a losing business. I could be wrong but the figures are staggering
I’m sorry but that’s the cost of acquiring a blockbuster movie, something Apple sorely needs for TV+. You have to realize that to a 2 Trillion dollar company, $200M is less than pocket change.
I’m guessing October-December this year. There’s only two shows on the schedule for those months so far - expect much more to be announced.
My question was not the quality of the movie though. My question was about the ROI. 10 movies at $200M=$2B. You need around 400m new subs to justify this $2B investment. Strictly speaking about the return on investment
Although the quality of shows/movies seems to be good overall on ATV+ I agree with you. In the streaming eco system ATV+ simply can't compete with the others. But I am sure things will change the within the next few years. Competition is fierce in the streaming segment..
Gaga attended a musical theater training conservatory run by Tisch and studied at the Strasberg Institute. She can sing circles around Dua Lipa.
I like Henry, but there’s still nothing on Apple TV+ that would make me want to watch, much less subscribe.
No one. No one knew. Because she's not an actress -- and shouldn't be one. 🤣
Ouch!
Movie flop.

Agent Argylle couldn’t crack the box office code.
Matthew Vaughn’s globe-trotting spy comedy “Argylle” sputtered in its box office debut, earning a dismal $18 million from 3,605 North American theaters. The movie, backed by Apple and distributed by Universal, cost $200 million to produce and is shaping up to be the year’s first big misfire.
Despite terrible reviews and lousy audience scores (it holds a 35% on Rotten Tomatoes and “C+” on CinemaScore), “Argylle” ranked No. 1 at the domestic and global box office. The film added just $17.3 million from 78 international markets for a worldwide tally of $35.3 million.
