Tom Hanks WWII Film ‘Greyhound’ Alters Course In Apple Deal: Film Will Premiere On Apple TV +
In a real shocker, the WWII battleship drama Greyhound that Tom Hanks wrote and stars in has abruptly changed course and will berth at Apple. Originally on the Sony Pictures theatrical calendar for Father’s Day weekend, the film instead will become the biggest feature film commitment made by Apple to premiere on Apple TV+. It is the latest in a growing indication that Apple is making its move, and becoming as aggressive as any streamer or studio in auctions for the acquisition of films and TV projects.
Hanks will test the waters in putting out one of his star-vehicle films direct to a streamer for the first time with a premiere in more than 100 countries, and it is all because of the coronavirus pandemic and how it has wrecked studio theatrical release calendars this year.
Apple has not set a date to release yet, but the expectation is it will be soon.

does anyone know if this will ever make it to blu ray?
as apple bought the rights for this for millions does this mean this will NEVER make it to blu ray?
i cant find any info for that any where it makes me wonder anything apple picks up means they will automatically miss blu ray as they are paying so much.
problem is when apple gets something doesnt say in the deals they have the rights for 6 months or forever.
which seems a stupid move on the studios side of things.
be nice to have a pre-order date by now
