Clooney and Pitt’s ‘Wolfs’ Sequel Gets One-Week Theatrical Release from Apple

Apple Original Films is shaking up its release strategy for the upcoming drama “Wolfs,” starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. The film, directed by Jon Watts, will debut at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. Initially planned for a wide release before hitting Apple TV+, the film will now have a one-week limited theatrical release on September 20, followed by an Apple TV+ debut on September 27.

In addition, Apple has secured a deal with Watts to direct, write, and produce a sequel featuring the A-list stars. This move underscores Apple’s commitment to delivering high-quality entertainment through its streaming service.

“‘Wolfs’ is the kind of big event movie that makes Apple TV+ such an exceptional home for the best in entertainment,” said Matt Dentler, Apple Original Films’ head of features. “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.”
