The latest Martin Scorsese movie was given a cinema run last year, earning huge acclaim from critics, though given it is an Apple production many have eagerly been awaiting a streaming date on the company's platform.

Killers of the Flower Moon is based on the real-life story of the 1920s Osage Native American tribe murders when oil was found on their land, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone.
The movie stands at 93% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and also earned Scorsese his best box office opening in a decade and his third-best opening after Shutter Island and The Departed.
Scorsese previously spoke about whether Killers of the Flower Moon was suitable for the small screen, telling Hindustan Times: "In the case of Killers of the Flower Moon, it should be seen on the big screen.

"Are we intending to make a blockbuster? No, we're making a movie, which should [be] watched on the big screen. Other pictures I made? Maybe not.
"Sometimes, it's the strength of the picture too, if it plays well on a smaller screen, that's interesting. Killers could play on a small screen, but in order to truly immerse yourself, you should take out the time."
The director also defended the film's epic runtime of three hours and 25 minutes, adding: "People say it's three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours.
"Also, there are many people who watch theatre for 3.5 hours. There are real actors on stage, you can't get up and walk around. You give it that respect, give cinema some respect."
Killers of the Flower Moon will be available to stream on Apple TV+ from Friday, January 12.
