Tomorrow, January 22, Midas Man, the highly anticipated biopic of famed music manager Brian Epstein, will launch in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The film will be available at Midasman.Movie through Olyn, a new, innovative distribution model that offers a direct-to-consumer approach that challenges the industry status quo.
Widely hailed as the mastermind behind The Beatles’ meteoric rise — the film follows Epstein, a gay man in the UK at a time when it was illegal, and a Jewish man in the aftermath of the Holocaust, as he navigates a whirlwind of unprecedented fame, cultural revolution, and personal demons. This isn’t just a story about music — it’s about the universal human experience: the search for love, identity, and the strength to dream in the face of adversity.
After a successful US preview at the 2025 New York Jewish Film Festival, Midas Man will officially debut in North America on Wednesday. The launch will be celebrated with a screening event in West Hollywood. The film previously reached No. 1 on Amazon Prime UK and maintains an 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
