As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread and force movie theaters to shut down, Amazon has launched a new hub featuring movies that Hollywood hoped you'd be watching right now in the theater. Amazon's Prime Video Cinema allows you to rent or buy recently released movies through the streaming service.

Movies currently offered through the hub include Onward, The Hunt, The Invisible Man and Emma, although Onward is only available at the $18.49 purchase price, while the others are only available for rental at that same reduced price. They'll be available to rent for 48 hours.

NBCUniversal said Tuesday it would make movies available to rent online in the home the same day as their global theatrical releases due to the coronavirus outbreak. iTunes will also offer the titles for streaming purchase and rental.

Not a bad idea!

Will it go back to normal when the outbreak is under control or gone?

Sky has done the same for a few movies. Hoping they put trolls 2 on for the kids and quiet place 2 on for me

I do hope things go back to normal after - I don't like society sliding toward everyone not needing to leave their house for everything...

Onward will be available to stream on Disney+ on the 3rd of April so I'd probably leave it if you're gonna subscribe to the streaming service.
