Greyhound , the WWII film from Apple TV + written by Tom Hanks, who also plays the lead role, recorded the best start of the streaming platform. Questioned by Deadline, Apple did not provide any figures but assures that the film had a number of viewers comparable to a theatrical launch at the same period.
In Greyhound , Tom Hanks plays the role of a Navy veteran who must protect a convoy of 37 ships carrying thousands of soldiers and food across the Atlantic facing the threat of the German fleet.
A boon for Apple TV +
Good news for Tom Hanks and his production company Playtone. The film was to be released on the big screen under the Sony banner before being picked up by Apple TV + due to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic. In addition, 30% of the first spectators were new registrants on the platform, which means that the film will have benefited him well.
Greyhound had to supplant the original productions broadcast on Apple TV + since the launch of the platform eight months ago: the series by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, The Morning Show , or The Banker with Samuel L. Jackson or even Defending Jacob with Chris Evans. Good performance.
