Studios look ready to rush out movies online during the pandemic – but can the big blockbusters afford to?

This week should have signalled the start of the spring blockbuster season, with the launch of Disney’s live action remake of Mulan first out of the gates. The posters are already plastered on buses and billboards, but with cinemas around the world going dark as the coronavirus spreads, the big-screen release has been postponed.

NetflixANZ sux

I'm surprised people still go to the cinema. This is an industry that is unlikely to survive the next decade.

Now would most new movies even be filmed during the pandemic?

Much will depend on how long the cinema shutdown lasts and then how exhibitors deal with the reopening as there will be alot of nervousness over the first few weeks cinemas reopen and industry can't just expect will go back to normal straight away even with a massive film opening

Not until they provide more servers.

No way I'm watching Mulan even if it's on Netflix. Shame on the actress for supporting police brutality in Hong Kong. BoycottMulan

As if Netflix could get more awesomeness!

Not unhappy to hear this. We have been snowed in for five days and more Netflix and/or Amazon Prime is good. 😸 I am in CA so even if we weren't snowed in we are on lockdown.

good on those who have it. A large number of theatre goers do so because they don't have netflix and many films are better on the big screen such as 1917.

No china ... No movie no goods no travel or no relation
