Willow Ryder, a talented and adventurous young woman, received a cryptic invitation to an exclusive event. The message read: "Meet me at the old oak tree in the town square at midnight. Come alone."
Willow's heart racing, she opened the box and found a complex puzzle. With her quick wit and determination, she solved it, revealing a hidden message.
For a century, movie theaters held the exclusive window. Now, that exclusivity has been broken. Warner Bros. caused a firestorm when it put its entire 2021 slate on HBO Max simultaneously with theaters. Meanwhile, Apple TV+ grabbed the Oscar for CODA and is now spending billions on Killers of the Flower Moon —films you literally cannot see anywhere else unless you own an Apple device.
