One of the more interesting consequences of the novel coronavirus pandemic has been the temporary disappearance of the movie theater. Until the United States gets a handle on the COVID-19 outbreak, the last place anyone wants to be is in a small room surrounded by dozens of people for two hours or more. Therefore, it’s unlikely that theaters will be open to the public again any time soon, and thus movie studios have had to adapt.
The balance those studios have to strike is a difficult one, as some movies are better suited to release on digital than others. While Pixar’s new movie Onward likely would have done well at the box office, it wasn’t expected to break any records and Disney had already spent months marketing it, so releasing it early made sense. But the same cannot be said of Sony’s 2020 blockbusters, many of which were delayed this week.
