Clooney said, “It was an exciting time because it got to be one of those weird bidding wars which happen every once in a while, and it ended up being pretty extreme.”
“Apple came in with a really big number for Brad and I, and we said we’d like to take less as long as we can guarantee that we can have a theatrical release, and they said great,” he explained.
Emphasizing on the possibility of movie theaters’ co-existence with streaming platforms, he said, “I’d like to believe – and I still believe – that there’s a way that grownup films can still survive, and survive in movie theaters.”
