NBCUniversal Will Stream Trolls World Tour, And Others Amid Coronavirus

[RAMROD 109,746]

 

NBCUniversal on Monday announced its current movies from the Universal Pictures stable — including the upcoming event family movie Trolls World Tour — will be made available on-demand at the same time they hit those theaters that remain open during the coronavirus pandemic.

The new policy collapses the traditional theatrical window as the film industry grapples with unprecedented circumstances. Cinemas are entirely closed in 32 or more markets overseas and partially closed in another 15 territories, while more countries expected to follow suit. Most, if not all, cinemas are likely to go dark this week in the U.S., were  theaters have already been ordered to go dark in New York City and Los Angeles. Other locales are also seeing closures, while circuits staying open are starting to limit capacity to 50 people per auditorium per new CDC guidelines.

Movies will be made available on a wide variety of on-demand services for a 48-hour rental period at a suggested retail price of $19.99 in the U.S. and the price equivalent in international markets. The announcement was made by NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell. Insiders say it isn't a blanket policy for the studio's entire 2020 calendar and that decisions regarding other titles and the duration of the policy haven't been made yet.

The poor movie theater industry. 

If y'all didn't know, theaters make money purely off of concessions and live off of big movies like Trolls, James Bond, etc. This is so bad.

James Bond is not part of stream plan. That and more big tentpole films are not likely move to streaming before theatrical release cos there's too much money in it tbh.

I was talking in general terms regarding the state of the movie industry. It'll be dead for the next two months. And it sucks because layoffs will happen and prices will again go up.
