As per Variety, the film is set to release in US theatres on November 27 before it debuts on the streaming platform on December 1. Additionally, the streamer has shared a new image from the film featuring Jolie as the influential musician.
'Maria' recently received an eight-minute standing ovation at its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, held at the Sala Grande Theatre.
