Movie releases

Since there are no theaters open for movies to premiere in wide release, do anyone think moives will go directly to on demand

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I asked friends the same question. The studios should start putting them on demand. I would pay more for a new good movie

Where we are we have Cox cable and we have many new movies on Demand now.

We do have to pay for them and they are pretty expensive so we are not really taking advantage of it. We also have prime and netflix so we're just sticking with those options.

I heard that instead of releasing them to theaters, they will release them to streaming services.

amc is already streaming theater releases although so far the prices are steep.

I got an email from Xfinity a while back saying new releases are available On Demand starting with the date they were slated to open in theaters. I really haven't looked though to see what's available.

The new ‘Emma’ is on demand but at $19.99 more than we’d pay at cinema. I will wait see if it comes down in price!

@I am still oxox There are three new release movies On Demand now. Emma, The Hunt and The Invisible Man. If you have an Xfinity voice remote, just say Xfinity Movie Premieres.

In my area, they have already. I saw an advertisement for The Invisible Man, which was supposed to be released to theatres, but it is On Demand for 19.99. There are some others listed as well.

Most of the big named movies are being moved to later in the year/next year. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of the “smaller” films go straight to On Demand. For example, Trolls World Tour is keeping its release date and going straight to On Demand for $19.99. The Lovebirds was supposed to be released, but it was just as everything started closing. I read it was moved to Netflix (I wanted to see that, so I really should check that out.)

Most of the movies mentioned on this thread had been in the theaters, if only for a week or two. I haven’t seen the numbers, but wonder if they are doing better than they would have otherwise done in theaters.
