More details have been revealed about Sony’s distribution plan for the upcoming four Beatles films. Pippa Harris, co-founder of Neal Street Productions, gave a small update on the films at the BFI London Film Festival’s Industry Forum. Their working plan is a “four-film cinematic event” in April 2028.

She explained later they wanted all the films to release around the same time. “The idea at the moment is the films will come out in 2028, and we want people to be able to experience them in the cinema during the same period.” She clarified, “That doesn’t necessarily mean we’re thinking that people will go and see all four films on the same day. But within the same month, you might see one a week, or you might see one on a weekend, two the next one. However you see it, I think our hope is that people will see all four films. They stand alone as individual stories of each of those four men, but they have a cumulative power, which I think is greater than the sum of their parts. The Beatles are, I think, the greatest band in history, and we’re trying to do our best to do them justice. Hence the four films. I don’t think there’s probably another band that you could legitimately say you wanted to see four films for.”

The Beatles films are helmed by Sam Mendes and star Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. Each member will receive their own film. Stay tuned for more updates.
