Coronavirus Movies delays

The coronavirus pandemic throws a big punch toward the movie industry. A lot of the most anticipated movies in this year have either had their release date delayed or saw their production halted. The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, which was first identified in China in December, has had sweeping effects in the public health, business, and travel sectors, among others. The repercussions for the entertainment industry may seem to pale in comparison to the clear threat the virus poses to human life but they are worth noting.

Since streaming services are today a viable substitute for traditional movie mediums.
