“CODA” will be the next movie on Apple TV +
With this investment Apple TV + has secured “CODA”. Starring actress Emilia Jones, it tells the story of Ruby, the only person in her deaf family who hears. As her high school years come to an end, Ruby is torn between staying home to help the family or going to college to pursue her dreams.
“CODA” established a new record for a film acquisition at the Sundance Virtual Film Festival this year, beating Hulu / Neon’s $ 22.5 million acquisition last year for the movie “Palm Springs.”
Although it is not just any budget “CODA” is not even close to the most expensive movie on Apple TV. Last year, the streaming platform invested $ 120 million for Will Smith’s “Emancipation.”
