About Air Movie
- Air is based on true events about the origin of Air Jordan, a basketball shoeline, of which a Nike employee seeks to strike a business deal with rookie player Michael Jordan.
- The project was announced in April 2022 with Affleck set to direct, as well as star and produce alongside Damon with their newly formed production company Artists Equity.
- Principal photography took place between June and July 2022 with Affleck reuniting with his frequent collaborators: cinematographer Robert Richardson and editor William Goldenberg.
- While Michael Jordan was not involved with the production, he did meet with Affleck, offering several suggestions, including the casting of Davis as his mother.
- Originally set to premiere on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video, distributor Amazon Studios opted to release the film theatrically first after positive test screenings, making it the first Amazon title since Late Night (2019) to be released in theaters without also premiering on Prime Video.
- Air received positive reviews from critics, particularly for Affleck’s direction, Convery’s screenplay and the performances of the cast, and has grossed $90 million worldwide.
- In June 2023, Donald Trump used the monologue from the film in a fundraising 2024 presidential campaign video on Truth Social. Damon and Affleck’s production company Artists Equity condemned the usage as unauthorized.
- Air was originally slated for a streaming-only release on Amazon Prime Video, but Amazon Studios eventually decided to release the film theatrically following strong results from test screenings.
- Air was theatrically released in the United States on April 5, 2023, making it the first Amazon title since Late Night (2019) to be given an exclusive theatrical release. Warner Bros. Pictures handled the film’s international theatrical and worldwide physical home media release. Amazon also gave the film a longer theatrical window before releasing it on Prime Video globally than their previous theatrical releases. The film closed out the South by Southwest festival on March 18, 2023. The film was released via streaming on Amazon Prime Video on May 12, 2023.
- Amazon spent $40–50 million promoting the film, including $7 million on an ad that aired during Super Bowl LVII.
