Ben Affleck's Air sets streaming release date.
When the critically acclaimed sports drama, Air premiered to a wide theatrical release in the United States, the move marked the first time since 2019' Last Night that an Amazon Studios production was making a foray into the theatrical arena. The release is part of the studios' commitment to making a mark in the theatrical space whilst also serving as a first project from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity.
Air made its premiere on over 3,500 screens for 39 days and the move to streaming will see the critically acclaimed sports drama available in over 240 countries worldwide. Written by Alex Convery and directed by Affleck, Air tells the story of Sonny Vaccaro, Damon's character, and his seemingly outlandish plans to get the next big shot on the books of a sports brand.

The film also stars Viola Davis as Deloris Jordan and Affleck recalls how he ended up picking Davis for the role.
He said, “It has to be Viola Davis.” I was like, “Okay.” That’s like saying, “Can I get a basketball team together?” “Sure.” “It has to be Michael Jordan.” But then, I realized that’s very typical of who this guy is. It has to be the best. And so, I knew that it was incumbent on us to create a role that was worthy of Viola, and we tried to do that. Her saying yes was a lifelong career ambition of mine. I thought, “I really will have made it as a director, if I have Viola Davis in my movie.
