Universal Pictures will distribute new movies online!
This is a nice consideration.
Before the new Colonavirus spread, I was watching a movie in a movie theater every week.The "Gon Gon, The Little Fox", which was reproduced by stop motion animation, and the "Scandal" depicting a real TV scandal, the cursed movie that is said to die if you look at it, "Antrum's most".The cursed movie was also waiting for the release, but I couldn't go see it because I was afraid of Corona's infection.The frustration that can't be seen even though it is screened ... the emptiness that cannot be delivered to the audience even though it is screened ... The environment surrounding movies is complicated.
Meanwhile, Universal Pictures came to a way to throw a stone.It seems that new movies will be distributed online!
According to the company's announcement, the Internet will be distributed on the Internet from March 20 (Fri), "The Hunt" depicting human hunting, "The Invisible Man", a reboot version of "Transparent Human", and the British drama movie "EMMA".3 works.It seems that it can be rented for 48 hours for about $ 19.99 (at the same price in other countries)."Trolls Music Power" is scheduled to be released on the United States on April 10, but if it can be released, it will be released at the same time as a theater and online distribution.NBUUNIVERSAL's Jeff Shell CEO says in a press release:
Nevertheless, it seems that some works will be decided to release online."Wild Speed / Jet Break", which sells the powerful action of Dodeca Skal, has been decided to postpone the release to April 2021 (next year!).
According to a source that IO9 has heard from a source that is familiar with the circumstances, this kind of response is not a full policy, but only one of the means for people to watch movies in the current reaction to the current Corona.It seems that it is not too much.Also, it has not decided which title will be online distribution or how long it will be adapted.
Some studios, including Disney, have chosen the postponements to protect Cinema Experiences, which can only be experienced in theaters.A large company with a working financial power like Disney is fine, but if you do not make a profit because it is not published, it will not be possible to secure the funds to make the next work, and the worst studio is closed.That means.
I personally want to take care of cinema experience, so I want to see the published works in the movie theater as much as possible.However, I can't say that in the current situation, so if you release it online, you will be happy to watch it by distribution.In fact, "The Hunt" was looking forward to it, but I was so happy to deliver it on this occasion.I'm glad that I don't want to distribute the latest work, but I also have fun.Rental of $ 19.99 for 48 hours is the best cospa if you look at your family.We can enjoy movies, movie companies can make a little profit, and I think they are Win-Win.
By the way, while it is a distribution service destination, Gizmodo reports that it is "various on -demand services", while Digital Trend has a specific name Xfinity on Demand.You will see something clear by the 20th.The delivery price overseas is written as equivalent to $ 19.99, so it will be distributed in Japan.Personally, I want you to start distribution of the works that are now available.I really want to see "Scandal" from the bottom of my heart ...
