    What’s The Deal With Apple Dropping Crazy Cash on These Films?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Tick-tock Applewood! How long will Apple continue releasing movies in the red?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I get asked a lot – what’s Apple’s endgame spending $200 million on movies like Argylle? Don’t get me wrong, theaters are begging for films to show. But even Apple’s giant pile of cash has limits if their flicks keep bombing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Argylle was seriously hyped, yet the movie has picked up $18 million in domestic earnings and has only taken in $35 million on the global stage. Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon also boasted big budgets into the $150 million mark, but their earnings are in the red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The idea is these big budget pick-ups are supposed to be loss leaders. Ya know, take a hit on the movie itself but use it to pull in subscribers. But c’mon, Apple was already printing money before they started burning Benjamins on martial arts stars and Scorsese passion projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Maybe these films get a tiny bump in Apple TV+ sign-ups. Hovever, that\u2019s some expensive advertising if sign-ups are the goal. But is anyone really getting a new iPhone because Henry Golding knows kung fu? I’m not seeing it. Point is – Apple’s got more money than most worth $2.87 trillion, but sooner or later, the company needs to make these creative bets pay off consistently. Even tech giants run out of patience when the red ink keeps flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Did you enjoy Argylle? Here\u2019s the trailer. Did the trailer meet your expectations? We\u2019d love to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
