Instead, \u201cWolfs\u201d moved to a one-week limited theatrical engagement on Sept. 20, with its debut on the streamer Apple TV+ coming a week after on Sept. 27.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe abrupt new strategy, enacted just over a month ahead of release, raised some eyebrows, as Clooney had <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/12\/george-clooney-the-boys-in-the-boat-matthew-perry-150m-sagaftra-gesture-brad-pitt-sequel-wolfs-1235677436\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated <\/a>in 2023 that \u201cBrad and I made the deal to do that movie where we gave money back to make sure that we had a theatrical release.\u201d But the shift to a limited run also came packaged with news that Apple had signed Jon Watts to direct, write and produce a \u201cWolfs\u201d sequel, with Clooney and Pitt expected to return to play a pair of fixers operating in the criminal underworld.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWolfs\u201d made a splashy premiere at the Venice Film Festival in early September, with both of its stars walking the red carpet. And after its debut on Apple TV+, the streamer boasted that the film had become the most viewed feature in the platform\u2019s history. It was the type of superlative meant to affirm that \u201cWolfs\u201d was a success. Apple won the project in a competitive bidding war, enticed by the prospect of reuniting \u201cOcean\u2019s\u201d trilogy stars Clooney and Pitt, as well as landing Watts\u2019 latest feature after the filmmaker had finished helming all three Tom Holland \u201cSpider-Man\u201d entries for Sony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cAudiences have chosen in droves to make\u00a0\u2018Wolfs\u2019\u00a0part of their weekend, making the movie a global blockbuster,\u201d Matt Dentler, Apple Original Films\u2019 head of features, said in a statement at the time. \u201cWe always consider Apple TV+ to be the home for the world\u2019s most talented artists to create and deliver their best work, and it\u2019s exciting to see audiences embrace that so overwhelmingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBut with the release of \u201cWolfs\u201d now two months in the rear-view, it seems there\u2019s much less to howl about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/news\/wolfs-sequel-canceled-apple-tv-george-clooney-brad-pitt-1236218599\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three months after Apple inked a deal with director Jon Watts to develop a follow-up to his crime caper \u201cWolfs,\u201d starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, plans for the sequel &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=129079\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=129079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129079\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=129079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=129079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=129079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
