Summary

• Apple TV+ focuses on original content, reducing turnover and offering unique award-winning shows and movies like Ted Lasso and Severance.
• Limited-time licensed movies like Jerry Maguire and Clueless leave Apple TV+ after just two months, shifting focus back to original content.
• Popular films leaving Apple TV+ in June 2024 include Blade Runner 2049, Inception, Prometheus, The Day After Tomorrow, Easy A, and Gone Girl.

Originally launched in 2019, Apple TV+ positioned itself as a unique offering among the wealth of streaming services because it doesn't rely on content from other studios. While Netflix, Hulu, Max, and Prime Video have a plethora of licensed content that fans know from theaters and various studios, Apple TV+ mostly specializes in original content made specifically for its streaming service, with award-winning original movies and shows like Ted Lasso and Severance. As such, Apple TV+ tends to see less turnover thanks to its original content, these properties remaining a constant for subscribers of the service.

Apple TV+ has added several popular movies for a limited time, but unlike services like Netflix, these are very short-time licenses and usually leave the service after just a month or two on the streamer. Films like Jerry Maguire, Bridesmaids, and Clueless lasted for only two months on Apple TV+, leaving at the end of May. A few more licensed movies leave the service at the end of June 2024, with Apple TV+ not adding any more non-originals during that month as it focuses on original content once again.

Four Science Fiction Dramas, A Fun Comedy, & A Ben Affleck Drama

Blade Runner 2049

In 2017, 35 years after the original Blade Runner became a science fiction masterpiece, Denis Villeneuve directed the sequel to the movie, Blade Runner 2049, which leaves on June 30. The epic film saw Ryan Gosling as a new kind of Replicant (known as K), sent out to put down Replicants in hiding 30 years after the original movie. However, Harrison Ford's Deckard is still alive and in seclusion, forcing K to find Deckard and stop a conspiracy to destabilize society.

The movie was on Apple TV+ as a limited engagement, but it will finally leave the service at the end of June. It is a good time to catch Blade Runner 2049, which didn't do well at the box office, but was still a critical success that has since become considered a modern classic. It earned five Oscar nominations, winning two of them for Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects. There is also a sequel streaming series in the works at Prime Video. Apple TV+ had another Villeneuve movie that left the service in May called Arrival.

Inception

Christopher Nolan has become one of the best filmmakers working in Hollywood and one of his most creative movies is his 2010 science fiction release, Inception. This movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a man whose job is to put together a team to "break into" a person's memories, plant new memories, and steal those memories they have locked away. He does this for a living, as a sort of mercenary, but when his latest victim puts up a defense, it causes everything to go wrong.

Inception was also a critical darling, winning four Oscars...

The movie was a huge success when it came out, a mind-bending and twisty thriller that was a major commercial success and kept Nolan's record of box office hits going. Inception was also a critical darling, winning four Oscars, including Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects, while receiving four other nominations. Nolan went on to direct another mind-bending sci-fi movie after this with Tenet and then won an Oscar for his biopic Oppenheimer​​​​​​. It leaves on June 30 like the other films.

Prometheus

Ridley Scott created the Alien franchise with his space-based haunted house movie in 1979. However, he handed it off to James Cameron, who turned it into a giant space action-adventure movie and then watched as other directors put their touches on his franchise. That made his return in 2012 so exciting to fans of the original movie. However, the final result was polarizing and didn't reach the same level of prestige as his original horror movie.

Prometheus is a prequel to the original Alien, but it has no real connection to that movie.

Even with the mixed reviews, the movie was a success at the box office and that warranted a sequel called Alien: Covenant. The movie is one of the limited-run films that Apple TV+ recently licensed, but it will bow out of the streaming service at the end of June. Prometheus is a prequel to the original Alien, but it has no real connection to that movie other than existing in the same universe with new ideas and myths.

The Day After Tomorrow

Roland Emmerich has made a career out of making disaster movies. While his first movie, Independence Day, remains his most beloved in the genre, he spent the next two decades trying to one-up the ones that came before. With The Day After Tomorrow, Emmerich decided to go with global warming as his topic and he sent the Earth into a new ice age. However, he smartly focused on a father (Dennis Quaid) trying to find his son (Jake Gyllenhaal) to reign in the story.

The movie was a big success as the box office when released in 2004 and displayed the special effects that Emmerich mastered over his career as a filmmaker. The film was mostly a guilty pleasure, but it still received mixed to low reviews, although it wasn't as lambasted as other Emmerich movies in later years. It also picked up some awards nominations and can be watched on Apple TV+ until June 30.

Easy A

Emma Stone had one of her earliest starring roles in the 2010 teen romantic comedy Easy A. Directed by Will Gluck (About Last Night), Stone stars as Olive, a high school student who lies about losing her virginity, but is then labeled promiscuous by other students (led by Marianne from the school's church group). Olive tires of the talk and decides to play into the role, brandishing an A (from The Scarlet Letter) and accepting money from boys in school to pretend she slept with them to help them overcome bullying.

Emma Stone earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role.

However, things go too far and Olvie realizes she has to come clean or she could lose the one guy she really likes (Penn Badgley). The movie remains highly underrated and is one of the best high school films of this century. It earned Stone a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress and the movie itself won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Comedy. Easy A sits at 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and will remain on Apple TV+ until the end of June.

Gone Girl

David Fincher directed the drama movie Gone Girl in 2014. The movie is based on the novel by Gillian Flynn and tells the story of a husband and wife going through some marital problems. Ben Affleck plays the husband, Nick, who arrives home one day to find his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) is missing. The media then focuses on the home and the police begin to believe that Nick may have murdered his wife and eliminated her body.

The movie then shows what really happened through flashbacks and has one of the best twists in a thriller movie in years. The film was a huge success both commercially and critically. It was also nominated for an Oscar (Best Actress for Pike), and four Golden Globes (Best Director, Best Actress, Best Screenplay for Flynn, and Best Score for Trent Rezner and Atticus Ross). It leaves the streaming service on June 30.
