The changed rules require nominees and nominees for best picture to be shown in 15 or 20 theaters in the top 50 markets in the United States. This will undoubtedly have a significant impact on streaming media services such as Apple TV+ and Netflix.

Apple is avoiding such restrictions, and people familiar with Apple's plans say it plans to invest $1 billion a year in making movies and showing them in cinemas, according to Bloomberg. This is part of the company's efforts to raise its profile in Hollywood and attract users to its streaming service.
