So it turns out that this virus thing bites deep, as more and more animated features shift to online rollouts, rather than in multiplexes...
Warner Bros. has decided to send its animated film Scoob! straight to premium on-demand, versus waiting for theaters to reopen en masse once the coronavirus pandemic begins to subside.
The studio on Tuesday announced that the Scooby Doo movie will become available both to rent and to buy in the home on May 15. ... Both Warner Bros. and Universal — similar to the other major Hollywood studios — have delayed the vast majority of their movies in order to give them a proper theatrical release. ...
Not ideal, of course, but how long does an entertainment conglomerate want to sit on product? (Six months? A year??) Multiplexes probably won't be open for months. And even when they do take down the yellow tape and start selling tickets, how many people are going to show up??
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run should never forget it's not in theaters, Paramount Pictures has decided to send this film to Netflix, just like The Loud House Movie.
