Apple TV+ Seriously Needs to Rethink their Release Strategy for Denzel Washington’s ‘Highest 2 Lowest’

Denzel Washington’s new movie Highest 2 Lowest is all set for theatrical release, and fans are not happy with its limited 2 week run before it hits 2 Apple TV+. Director Spike Lee and Denzel Washington have collaborated in several films before; this one, probably Washington’s last, needs a bigger theatrical run to honor the brilliant actor’s film journey.
Feels like a disservice to the artistic pedigree of the film, and is a huge misstep by Apple TV+. The movie has already debuted at Cannes 2025 to receive raving reviews and a standing ovation. The movie deserved a victory lap across theatres globally, rather than a discrete pit stop. A movie of this magnitude deserves a full theatrical rollout rather than just streaming credits.
Will Denzel Washington’s Highest 2 Lowest get a theatrical release?
Officially, yes, the movie is getting a theatrical release. It drops in theatres on August 22, 2025, in the USA.
