Following the global health crisis, many feature films could not be shown on the big screen since cinemas had to close, especially those in the United States. USS Greyhound paid the price: its broadcast was delayed. This American film directed by Aaron Schneider tells the story of a Navy soldier. The latter commanded the Greyhound during the Second World War. According to Deadline, Apple managed to secure the rights to stream the film first on its platform, Apple TV+. Apple wasn't the only one who wanted to release the movie. Eventually, he would have won the rights for a sum of about $70 million. The interest of this investment is to attract a good number of subscribers and future subscribers. They will be able to take advantage of the 7-day trial period on Apple TV+. They will also be able to see the quality of other content and potentially subscribe later. 
Sony Pictures has adopted this strategy because it knows full well that the revenue that comes from the release of the film in the cinema is going to be minimal. This explains the presence of USS Greyhound on Apple TV+. Nevertheless, the problem is that once the film is on a streaming platform, it will very quickly find itself in illegal download. USS Greyhound will be released as originally planned in theaters if cinemas reopen on June 19 in the United States and June 24 in France. For its part, Apple TV+ has still not announced the release date of USS Greyhound... You will find in the movie Tom Hanks, the star of the film. The latter, if you remember correctly, made a name for himself by donating his plasma for the fight against the coronavirus.
