Apple Sets Theatrical-Streaming Release Dates For ‘Elephant Queen’, ‘Hala’ & ‘The Banker’

Apple today announced theatrical release dates for three films set to premiere in theaters this fall followed by a drop on their streaming service which launches on Nov. 1

Hala, which they acquired out of Sundance, opens Nov. 22 in select theaters with a streaming date on AppleTV+ in December.

The Banker, directed by George Nolfi, is opening on Dec. 6. before debuting on Apple TV+ in January. Inspired by true events, The Banker centers on Bernard Garrett (Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (Samuel L. Jackson), who devise an ingenious business plan to take on the Establishment and the racial limitations of the 1960s to help members of underserved African American communities achieve the American Dream. With the assistance of Garrett’s wife Eunice (Nia Long), they train a working class white man, Matt Steiner (Nicholas Hoult), to be the face of their burgeoning real estate empire – while Garrett and Morris pose as a janitor and chauffeur. Their social activism and success ultimately draw the attention of banking and government officials, which threatens everything the four have built.
