At this point in time we’re hearing there’s no truth to Apple Original Movies’ Killers of the Flower Moon (October 6) and Napoleon (November 22) getting qualifying theatrical runs over a wide release. Their theatrical distribution is being handled by Paramount and Sony, respectively.

Apple’s high-profile Martin Scorsese-directed feature Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone and Robert De Niro, is set to open nationwide Oct. 20 via Paramount after an initial limited release on Oct. 6. The film isn’t likely to shift, according to sources. While DiCaprio and De Niro are marquee stars whose ongoing support could boost the pic, Killers of the Flower Moon generated plenty of press around its glitzy, high-profile world premiere at May’s Cannes Film Festival, where Scorsese and the cast walked the world’s most famous red carpet. And, weeks before, DiCaprio turned up at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, to host a conversation with Scorsese before thousands of theater owners. (Both Apple and Amazon, unlike Netflix, are experimenting with traditional theatrical releases. Apple also has Ridley Scott’s epic Napoleon, starring Joaquin Phoenix, coming out via Sony on Nov 22.)
