Apple TV+ has made available 51 movies ranging from “American Sniper” to “Zodiac,” all for free for a limited time to subscribers.
Apple has occasionally made one-off films like “Silver Linings Playbook,” or series of movies like “The Hunger Games,” available for free to subscribers. Plus it’s sometimes allowed free access to its series for anyone, particularly during COVID.
Now, however, it’s gone further than ever before and added 51 movies free to subscribers. It’s a curious number, and presumably the result of which movies fell under a deal Apple TV+ has made.
While this offer is being branded as “Great Movies on Apple TV+,” these films are all ones that are released via what used to be called the iTunes Movies Store. So it’s a regular sales promotion rather than, for example, an indication that Apple TV+ is buying the libraries of other streamers.
