The Coronavirus Pandemic doesn’t seem to be ending and filmmakers all over the world are thus being forced to sell their films to OTT giants. After Bollywood films Gulabo Sitabo & Shakuntala Devi being sold to Amazon Prime, we now hear that Tom Hanks’ upcoming Hollywood biggie Greyhound has been bought by Apple TV Plus.

The WWII naval drama was earlier slated to release in theaters on June 19 but now it will directly release on Apple TV Plus. The digital release date of the film hasn’t been announced though.

According to Deadline, it will be the biggest feature film commitment made by Apple which has shelled out $70 million for it. Apparently, there was a huge competition between leading OTT platforms to get the deal, and Apple grabbed it at the end by being the highest bidder.
