It's not as if they send their engineers to write Apple Intelligence instead of working on actual products...
I guess some staff are easier to re-apply elsewhere than others. But I guess it's totally possible to just be successful in some business areas. From a content perspective, probably a good one to advertise with. Big names, big title.
But maybe we should redirect this conversation to commenting on this particular movie again, aka the topic.

I’m not a big fan of this guy kinda hard to ignore the stuff he has done outside of acting 👎🏻

Agreed and I hope that continues. I would rather they focus on their hardware and software than other areas such as entertainment services.

I was just thinking that. Apple seems to be morphing from a tech company into a media company.

25% of Apple's revenue comes from its services segment, and although Apple TV+ may be more recent, they've been in the "media" and "entertainment" business for over 2 decades.

Either way, this movie is very different to other movies from Apple. Huge potential to bring in subscribers the enormous f1 fanbase globally.
 
"it has the potential to be a summer blockbuster"

OK. Why not. To me it looks like a Pitt stop...

Last time I saw Pitt (and Clooney) on Apple TV+ it was quite boring. Big names don't necessarily make a blockbuster.

Are they trying to surf on the Gran Turismo (2023) wave ?
They're crying all the way to the bank!
 
They made like F1 is USA where is it is totally not, Brad Pitt totally not fit for this and no clue who that other dude is. But then again this movie is made to make F1 attractive to the US, good luck with it.
You are right to say that this movie aims to promote F1 in the USA, but you are wrong to say that they won't succeed. F1 is growing fast in the USA un TV audition. Currently, there are two grand races in the USA, and next year there will be a United Statian car brand team: Cadillac (General Motors)

And during that time they’ve continually neglected their software business building poor quality apps that rarely get updated.

An Apple TV+ subscriber should have the option of getting a coupon from Apple to watch the film in a theatre without paying at the theatre. It's eventually going to be on TV+ for subscribers. It could boost TV+ enrolment.
 
It's slightly misleading they are advertising this on the Apple TV+ site, when there is no date as to when it will actually appear on it. Just a "coming to theatres" date. In fact it doesn't even state it will be coming to Apple TV+ at all
 
Will I won't be, so no, many will wait for Apple TV+
That’s like saying nobody will go the cinema but wait for the DVD instead. Action films like this are generally much better on the giant cinema screen.

And bankrupt the cinemas.

Not saying that it won't be successful, but like F1 Drive to Survive it is far from the real F1. The real F1 die-hards are left alone with this kind of stuff but kinda expected it if you use Brad Pitt as main character.
