Everything has changed, from the film we love, the theater we went in, and even the foods on the market, those are causing by the coronavirus that keeps lock us away from where we used to, but scientist all over the world are leading to way to fight against it and hopefully, they will soon find the drug to treat from the virus.
Except for that, Marvel Studio's Black Widow movie has been delayed its releasing date due to the pandemic and on the other hand, many countries have closed all movie theaters across the country. But today, we take a look at Pixar's Onward that the company opens a theatrical exclusivity window by releasing Onward on premium VOD before it comes to release on Disney+ April 3 while Sony's BloodShot is in its closing theater. The coronavirus pandemic is changing the world, and with theaters shuttered, Hollywood studios have billions of dollars sitting on the shelf collecting dust. For a long time the theater industry has held both consumers and studios hostage, and now with them out of the way the studios are looking to recoup their money however they can.
By coming with a call of movie-making, the highly-budget must clarify by Holywood Studio and theatrical releases are expensive, they cut into whatever profit a movie makes. VOD released is absolutely not a good thing to do in the movie industry company but can also not losing the entire profit during the worldwide pandemic of self-quarantine in the United States, Italy,...
Meanwhile, The Walt Disney Studios currently has six movies delayed with no clear of releasing date, one of them is Marvel Studio's Black Widow movie while many fans suggest that the company should drop it on Disney+ so they can watch it from home. But I think that is just a theoretical and it's not gonna happen because of the big amount of service users with the least accounts registered will not be the solution to their plan of making money off their investments

It’s the perfect example to kill the narrative that studios wouldn’t put tentpoles or big-budget movies out on VOD, meaning those who are swearing that movies like Mulan or Black Widow have to come out in theaters might want to rethink things.
Disney is well aware of this. They told the Security and Exchange Commission yesterday that they see change coming, “Our businesses could also be impacted should the disruptions from COVID-19 lead to changes in consumer behavior.” That talks about a lot of things, but people not going to movie theaters anymore and instead consuming movies via VOD is exactly that sort of change.
This pandemic is changing the world, and the way we watch movies looks to be changing along with it. Unfortunately, there are some people who are going to have a very hard time adjusting to it, but like everything else, in these confusing times, it’s something we’re all going to have to adapt to.
