Apple’s WWII drama Greyhound, starring and written by Tom Hanks, has become the largest opening-weekend release ever for Apple TV+, including series that have bowed on the service, sources close to Apple told Deadline.
The article adds that — though Apple didn’t give viewership numbers — film turned in a viewing audience commensurate with a summer theatrical box office big hit. What’s more, 30% of those watching Greyhound were new to Apple’s streaming service.
Apple TV+ is available on the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod touch, Mac, select Samsung and LG smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV and Roku devices, as well as at tv.apple.com, for US$4.99 per month with a seven-day free trial.
