Watts expressed deep disappointment over Apple's last-minute shift from a wide theatrical release to a limited run, stating he felt 'shocked' by the decision and ultimately questioned their reliability as a creative partner.
The director highlighted the irony in the situation where he had to return money for the sequel, emphasizing his pride in the original film and his desire not to create negative press despite Apple's announcement.
Watts remarked that despite the successful viewership of Wolfs on Apple TV Plus, which became their most viewed feature film, his trust in Apple diminished following their decision-making.
The decision by Apple to pivot on its release strategy has cast doubt on their commitment to filmmakers, as indicated by Watts' experiences and the broader reactions from other directors.
