Movies Coming Early to Streaming

By Bryan Kittman | March 20, 2020

Movies have long been a much-needed way for people to escape the troubles of daily life, and now more than ever, we could use them. Despite the film industry’s current hiatus, movie studios and distributors are rethinking how to get new releases out to consumers. 

Many of the films recently released never had the chance to have a full box-office run, so studios are moving to release these titles on streaming platforms and digital distribution very soon. As we collectively remain in our homes during these trying times, a good movie has always been something that can raise spirits. Hopefully, you will find this true.  Here are the titles that are released or are being released soon.
