Apple TV Plusshould stop making movies.
I promise you, this isn’t a hot take with no reasoning behind it.
Butfewis the operative term there.
And it’s not just my opinion the data bears it out.
Here’s why Apple needs to stop making movies and just stick to TV shows.
Objectively, none were box office successes once you accounted for the movie’s budget.
But that’s okay.
These movies are ultimately meant for the Apple TV Plus library.
Box office is arguably irrelevant.
But Academy Award nominations are not, and for Apple, they’ve been few and far between.
Of course, two of those six were huge successes.
But six hits out of 35 attempts is a mere 17% success rate.
It’s not good enough.
That’s especially the case when Apple is just as likely to make a disaster.
But that’s still better than what happened with “Wolfs.”
Oh, and on top of that, the movie was critically panned,including by us.
It putsreallygood TV shows on Apple TV Plus.
That’s a 30% hit rate.
That figure also doesn’t includeanyof the comedies Apple has distributed or produced.
If those names sound familiar to you, they should.
So Apple, it’s time to admit defeat.
Apple will be better for it and we’ll be better for it.
It’s an easy win-win.
