Have not seen a single one. Especially since I only watched CODA during my free month with Apple+TV. Tried to sign in several times months afterwards to watch Central Park and Wolfwalkers and couldn't because the damn service used security questions I answered over a decade ago when I used iTunes and thusly couldn't properly reset my password and subsequently having to cancel my Apple+TV account after a year. 

Sorry for the rant.

Apple does not give me a lot of choice. Since, I won't suscribe to Apple TV+, I won't ever watch any of their films. So far, none of the films interested me, but Killers of the Flowers Moon is another thing, if they don't release it in Canadian theaters and in blu-ray/dvd, I will be disappointed (even frustrated). 

Not gonna lie, I don't like to be trodden on, but the disappearance of Blu-ray/DVD, and the difficulty I have to watch films I like in theaters might kill my passion for cinema or force me to watch exclusively older films. Watching older films is nice, but eventually it disconnects someone his contemporaries, and it ostracizes him from the cinephile discourses. Already, since 2019, the number of new releases I watched has been reduced by 70%. 

TL;DR: Exclusivity to streaming makes me pessimistic about the future.
