Sony Pictures had previously bumped its release from May 8 to June 12 because of theater closings from the COVID-19 crisis.
The movie, adapted by Hanks from the C.S. Forester novel, follows a U.S. Navy skipper who must lead an Allied convoy being stalked by wolf packs of Nazi submarines. The movie also stars Elisabeth Shue.
Apple has yet to announce a release date, but it would be the first major theatrical film to come to the streaming service instead of theaters.
