As you know for sure, there is no longer the ability to go to the movies because of the isolation needed to get rid of the coronavirus. However, Universal has announced that new movies will also be available in the iTunes Movie Store at the same time as they are in movie theaters (apparently in theaters in the US and other countries where they have not yet closed).
Commenting on the programs, NBCUniversal host Jeff Shell said: "Instead of delaying these films or launching them in a challenging distribution environment, we want to give people the opportunity to see these types of films in their homes in a more accessible and affordable way."
Which movies go straight to iTunes?
So far we know that Universal Studios' next films will hit ITunes Sports Store (accessed via the TV app) this week. Including:
- The Invisible Man
- Hunting
- Emma
- Troll World Tour
If you are in the US, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and you will have an instant digital release on iTunes. The film is now available on platforms to broadcast the United States
Frozen II also paid for it ahead of schedule. You can buy movie now on Apple (€ 13.99) and other channels. If you choose to rent a film instead of buying it, this will cost you about 3.99 euros.
Where can movies come from?
Universal said that the program to release movies directly from iTunes would work in all markets where the titles were scheduled to be released.
"We hope and believe that people will continue to go to the movies where it is available, but we understand that for people in different parts of the world and very little," the company said in a statement (via Deadline).
Movies can be rented on iTunes, Amazon and other on-demand video platforms.
When will the new movie release be available?
Universal said it will start offering rental movies starting Friday, March 20.
How much is the tax?
This hire will cost more than the average hire. Its price is expected to be around $ 20. That may seem like a great deal compared to the less than £ 5 tax we usually see, but it can be more expensive than taking a family to the movies.
How to Watch Movie Rental on iTunes
If you want to rent an Apple movie, follow these steps:
- Open the Apple TV app on your device (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon TV Stick, etc.)
- Click or tap on the & # 39; Movie & # 39;
- Find the movie you want to see.
- Click & # 39; rent & # 39; (optional)
- Enter your access data.
- You can choose to start watching the movie immediately or wait. You will have 48 hours to watch it after you start playing the movie (only 24 hours in the US). As long as the movie doesn't start, you can start watching it anytime within the next 30 days.
Will other film companies do the same?
In 2017, Apple is said to have worked with film studios in the release of movie rentals just two to three weeks after the theatrical release (as reported by Bloomberg in August of 2017.)
Obviously these are PVOD rentals (video the premium a la carte) will be available for downloaded months before receiving services like Netflix and Now TV, but will be priced higher than Apple's regular tax rate.
According to a Bloomberg report, movies can cost between $ 30 to $ 50 to rent on iTunes, while the average price for a movie ticket is $ 8,84. .
It is common for digital movie rentals to be available about three months after the theater is released.
This move can be disastrous for movie programs, although the high price of iTunes rentals may discourage many customers, even though the price of bringing a family of four to the movie is far above the film's rental price.
