Movies News Talk
Calling all movie lovers! Matt Damon and Casey Affleck are back together, and this time, they're bringing the heat with a new heist thriller, The Instigators. This Apple TV+ original film will drop on August 9, 2024, and if the Boston-centric setting is anything to go by, it should have that cool, gritty energy, which you probably remember from Good Will Hunting. The supporting cast looks pretty solid too - Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, and Ron Perlman are involved - and if we remember the action and humor that Damon and Affleck brought to the Ocean's Movies, we're definitely going to be laughing out loud. We’re still awaiting all the box-office results, but judging from all those movie-going names involved, it sounds like an awesome film!
The story looks like it revolves around a bunch of shady folks caught in a tangled mess of intrigue and secrets. Imagine it – betrayal, a few shifting alliances and hidden motives being exposed before a shocking conclusion. We can't give you the full plot details yet. (Spoiler alert? Nope!) but we'll know soon enough when it lands on Apple TV+. It seems the excitement is building for The Instigators already, and judging from what Good Will Hunting did back in the day, maybe there’s a touch of magic for Damon and Affleck when it comes to on-screen chemistry!
Mark your calendars for Friday, August 9, 2024 – because The Instigators drops on Apple TV+ at midnight. Yeah, that means midnight Eastern time! You guys across other time zones will have to figure out when those clock hands turn just right, so your popcorn will be ready for the action. But no worries – even if you're not an Apple TV+ subscriber, The Instigators will also get a limited theatrical release. They plan to drop it in theatres on August 2, but they aren't going for a wide release, so keep checking the theatres in your neighborhood, just in case.
While Apple TV+ doesn't exactly have all the blockbuster buzz, there are definitely some great original Movies already out there. If you're a subscriber, then The Instigators is part of that plan, with no extra charge needed. So go ahead, catch some big movie-going magic with the biggest Apple TV+ streaming release happening on August 9.
Here’s the time zone breakdown so your watch can be ready when The Instigators is available to watch: Eastern Time (ET) 12:00 AM (8/9) Central Time (CT) 11:00 PM (8/8) Mountain Time (MT) 10:00 PM (8/8) Pacific Time (PT) 09:00 PM (8/8) Alaska Time (AKDT) 08:00 PM (8/8) Hawaii Time (HST) 06:00 PM (8/8) British Summer Time (BST) 05:00 AM (8/9) Check that calendar again.

For the real movie fanatics (you know, the ones who like the big screen, loud sounds and big buckets of popcorn) The Instigators has its first release at the cinema on August 2nd, so head on down to your local movie house for a proper viewing. It's unclear what kind of reception this one will get at the box office but, given how much Hollywood is already talking about the team-up, this is one you'll want to see, or stream when you get your hands on a good set-up! The Instigators' run might be a bit shorter (until the 14th) but, it will probably be a really popular, good-for-your-money, kind of deal.
Remember that big name star power that we mentioned earlier? Damon, Affleck, a whole cast full of actors that are always known for good work! The story behind the movie might still be top-secret, but the talent behind it gives a huge indication this is going to be one wild movie to watch on a big screen - maybe in an almost Good Will Hunting, throwback kind of vibe! It's worth catching!
