Word is that not only is Apple not interested in giving their films a physical release, but they are also refusing requests to do so via third parties.
As it stands, Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” is not available for physical purchase in the U.S. Last year, Apple had indefinitely postponed —very likely canceled — the physical media release of the film. Patron holds were being canceled, temp MARC listings were pulled from library catalogs.
Criterion reached out to Apple, multiple times, to take over and release ‘Killers,’ but the streamer is flat out refusing to work with them.
Apple doesn’t release its original films on physical media. In fact, the streamer still hasn’t released their Oscar gloried “CODA” — it remains the only Best Picture winner to have never been available on physical media. Other noteworthy Apple films with the same fate include Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon,” and Joel Coen’s “The Tragedy of Macbeth.”
…
Hell, even Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” a Netflix original, was released on Criterion. The same goes for Alfonso Cuaron’s “Roma,” Jane Campion’s “Power of the Dog,” Bong Joon ho’s “Okja,” and Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story.” It’s surprising to see Apple being even more protective of their content than Netflix.
For the time being, if you want to get your hands on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” you’ll have to buy the Region 2 copy, which is only available in Europe, or online stores. There really is no other option.

Is that so…

While I agree with your approach, the pirate bay is not the most trust worthy site these days and I wouldn’t recommend using it if possible.
I just used that as an example as it’s a commonly known free tracker.
I use Usenet with private indexers almost exclusively myself.
Is there a good guide somewhere on how to get started with Usenet?
Or pay extra for the Italian release. It costs too much for a movie I don’t really care about. That link is looking pretty sexy though ;)
At least if Apple won’t sell it someone else will: https://www.ecrater.com/p/44884626/killers-of-the-flower-moon-blu
Ooo thanks for the link may have to pick that up plus finally somewhere that has Barbarian 2021 physical copy!
I’m pretty sure there’s an Italian 4K release as well.
They’re clearly trying to get a good library together, so you have to purchase an Apple product for your TV or you have to buy an Apple TV or something. Where you can purchase movies from the Apple Store but it’s not mobile and can’t be shared.
And everything Apple produces is free
