‘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.
Mike Flemming Jr. for Deadline:
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.
