I'm surprised it's so low. Movie tickets are $10+ and these movies can be watched by as many people as you want for 48 hours.
This is absolutely incredible and hopefully creates some sort of precedent for similar releases post-Covid-19. Now, if A Quiet Place: Part II wanted to do this, we'd really be cooking with gas.
Damn. Super unfortunate, but makes sense given the reality of the situation.
I wonder if they're still going to give the unreleased films some sort of token/limited theatrical release in some areas.
EDIT: Didn't see that they would be still be running in theaters that are still open at the same time they are made available VOD. Cool.

I highly doubt that theater attendance never recovers. Unless this pandemic causes a permanent cultural shift away from all forms of mass gathering and attendance. Which doesn't seem particularly likely.
Hell yeah. My 4 year old has to stay home with me... she needs stuff to watch while I work.
It feels so right to b--
god damn itDidn't know you were a High School Musical fan, Slay.
Just like ISPs removing data caps during this crisis, I'm sure that won't ever go back in the bottle
$20 day one rental is insanely cheap. that's less than a ticket + a subway ride to the theatrein NYC.
It's less about a cultural shift away from mass gatherings and more about people becoming accustomed to watching brand new releases at home. I'd assume big budget films will still do well in theaters for the foreseeable future though.
With that said, I think it all depends on how long this pandemic lasts.
That's awesome, but the implication of "immediately" means right this moment, but I can't seem to find anything in the article actually pointing to where to get these right now. Feel like better wording could have been used if they didn't have the full details quite yet.
Huh? 2 people arent going to see a movie in a theater for less than $20.
My wife's going to be very happy we can still see Trolls 2
Me, on the other hand... thanks a fucking lot Universal.

New big release movie rentals are usually around $12 for first few weeks/months, this isn't that bad when an average theater ticket is $15 nowadays. If you have a family or spouse it's cheaper to watch at home than to go out and see the movie
Which is much smaller and has far worse sound than even your midrange multiplex.
It's cheap for families, not for people seeing movies by themselves. AMC sells tickets as low as $9.
I actually agree with you, but we live in a time where convenience has won over quality.
Yeah, the link shows March 20th as the earliest. The word immediately should he removed.
