Martin Scorsese's upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon has gotten a theatrical release shake up.

Apple announced that Killers of the Flower Moon will be released in theaters nationwide on October 20. Originally, the Scorsese epic was going to release in limited theaters (New York City and Los Angeles) on October 6 before going wide. Now the film will release nationwide on the same day. Select IMAX theaters will be included in the rollout.

An Apple TV+ release has not yet been announced for Killers of the Flower Moon. It will come sometime after the initial theatrical release — something they are doing in partnership with Paramount.

Per Apple, the synopsis of the film reads: “Killers of the Flower Moon is set in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror. ” The film premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival in May ahead of its full release. First reviews were positive, as the film holds a 97% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of this writing.
