(NASDAQ:DLPN), a leading entertainment marketing and premium content production company, congratulated its subsidiary, the entertainment PR powerhouse 42West, on the world premiere of 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' an Apple Original Film directed by Martin Scorsese, at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

Rolling Stone declared the film 'a masterpiece' and said 'no one makes movies like this anymore, that go for broke yet keeps its eyes on the universal experiences of love, death, healing, and forgiveness.' IndieWire hailed it as 'a spectacular American epic,' 'Scorsese firing on all cylinders,' and 'the best performance of Leonardo DiCaprio's entire career' while The Hollywood Reporter proclaimed' a master filmmaker expands his legacy.'
The film will premiere in select theaters on October 6, 2023 before expanding on October 20, 2023 and then streaming globally on Apple TV+.
About 'Killers of the Flower Moon'
At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), 'Killers of the Flower Moon' is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, 'Killers of the Flower Moon' is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, based on David Grann's bestselling book.
