‘The Gorge’ eclipses ‘Wolfs’ as Apple TV+’s biggest-ever movie

“The Gorge,” starring Miles Teller, Anya Taylor-Joy and Sigourney Weaver, will premiere on February 14, 2025 on Apple TV+.
In “The Gorge,” now Apple TV+’s biggest-ever movie, two highly-trained operatives (Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy) are appointed to posts in guard towers on opposite sides of a vast and highly classified gorge, protecting the world from an undisclosed, mysterious evil that lurks within. They bond from a distance while trying to stay vigilant in defending against an unseen enemy. When the cataclysmic threat to humanity is revealed to them, they must work together in a test of both their physical and mental strength to keep the secret in the gorge before it’s too late.

Apple Original Films’ The Gorge has become the biggest film launch in the young streamer’s history.
It’s one of the sharper direct-to-streaming films I’ve seen in a good long time. The Gorge eclipses numbers turned in by the Jon Watts-directed George Clooney-Brad Pitt-starrer Wolfs, which launched last fall, pivoting from a planned wide release to a small theatrical and global streaming release.
Apple does not divulge specific numbers, but the company confirms it is the biggest film premiere in Apple TV+ history, driving double-digit growth globally for the service and boosting new viewers by +80%, weekend over weekend, following its debut on Friday, February 14.

MacDailyNews Take: Two thumbs up. “The Gorge” is a fun popcorn flick! It’d be perfect for a drive-in.
