The recently released Tom Hanks-led sci-fi feature “Finch” has resulted in a new record for the Apple TV+ service according to Deadline.
The Miguel Sapochnik-directed apocalyptic drama debuted this past Friday and has reportedly become the most-watched original film on the service, surpassing Hanks’ WWII thriller “Greyhound” which was one of the earliest acquisitions by Apple TV+ last year.
“Finch” premiered in over 100 countries and reportedly more than doubled its opening day audience as the weekend progressed. Specific numbers however have not been released by the service.
The title adds another feather to AppleTV+ which, unable to compete in terms of content volume with the likes of Netflix or HBO Max, has instead adopted an approach focused more on curation with select titles from films like “CODA,” “Wolfwalkers,” “On the Rocks” and upcoming films like “Swan Song,” “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” to series like “Ted Lasso,” “The Morning Show,” “Foundation,” “Dickinson,” “Mythic Quest,” “The Mosquito Coast,” and “For All Mankind”.
