One of the year’s most highly anticipated films, Martin Scorsese’s highly-anticipated “Killers of the Flower Moon”, directed by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese is poised to make a significant impression upon cinema audiences – not simply due to Scorsese being behind its making but because this will mark his inaugural foray into western genre film-making as it adapts a true crime and historical tragedy-rich tale that began resonating onscreen decades before this production came about. Let us look deeper.

What is “Killers of the Flower Moon” About?

“Killers of the Flower Moon” is based on David Grann’s riveting 2017 nonfiction book that dives into the dark chapters of American history — the Osage Murders. Throughout the 1920s in Oklahoma, at least twenty members of the Osage Tribe were ruthlessly murdered. Their only ‘crime’? Owning land that sat atop rich oil deposits. This spine-chilling tale not only exposes a heinous crime but also traces the rise of the FBI as they investigated the murders.

When Can Audiences Expect to See the Film?

Mark your calendars! “Killers of the Flower Moon” is scheduled for a widespread theatrical release across North America on October 20, 2023. Scorsese’s film made waves well before its premiere at Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2023; though out-of-competition screening. It became one of the talk of the festival. Initial impressions, like the B rating from Collider’s Therese Lacson, have already stirred conversations among cinephiles worldwide.

Why the Change in Release Date?

High-profile films often adapt their release strategies based on market dynamics, competition or audience demand – something “Killers of the Flower Moon” was initially planned to do before being scheduled for limited release on October 6, 2023. However, it seems the makers are betting big on the film, hence the expanded release on October 20, ensuring more theaters and wider audience accessibility.

Will the Movie Be Exclusive to Theaters or Also Stream Online?

In today’s age of digital consumption, the line between theatrical and online releases is getting blurrier. So, what’s the deal with Scorsese’s latest? Given Apple’s involvement in the production, many speculated that “Killers of the Flower Moon” would debut simultaneously on Apple TV+ and in theaters. However, Apple, in collaboration with Paramount, has chosen a different path. The film will enjoy an exclusive theatrical release on October 20. A bold move, especially considering the trend of simultaneous digital releases, but it seems the makers are confident in the film’s ability to pull crowds to the cinema.

How Does This Release Strategy Compare to Scorsese’s Previous Film?

It’s interesting to note the evolving dynamics of film releases, especially concerning streaming giants. Scorsese’s 2019 film, “The Irishman”, was distributed by Netflix. The streaming behemoth gave it a limited theatrical window before making it accessible to their global subscribers. Comparatively, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is poised to enjoy a more extended and expansive theatrical run, potentially making it easier for audiences to watch on the big screen.

What Can Fans Anticipate?

“Killers of the Flower Moon”, with its compelling narrative and Scorsese’s masterful direction, promises to be more than just a movie — it’s an event. With its exclusive theatrical release, audiences are set for a grand cinematic experience. It’s not just a film; it’s a testament to Scorsese’s belief in the magic of the movies, the allure of the big screen, and the stories that demand to be told on it.
