After months of speculation, it was announced yesterday that “Top Gun: Maverick” filmmaker Joseph Kosinski’s Formula One movie starring Brad Pitt had landed at Apple TV+, and along with it came a report that the filmmaker had secured an innovative launch strategy that would see a global platformed release before making its way to the streaming service. While chatting with Kosinski on Wednesday about his new Netflix thriller “Spiderhead” (out next week), TheWrap asked about the new movie and the release strategy.
“We’ve got an interesting distribution plan that includes a guaranteed worldwide large-format theatrical experience that then rolls into an exclusive streaming arrangement on Apple TV+,” Kosinski said.
