Update: April 8 2020: Two more movies that were planned for theatrical releases in the US will now be heading to streaming services. One is the Disney movie Artemis Fowl, which will now be coming to Disney Plus at some point in the future. The other is My Spy, the action comedy starring Dave Bautista. It will now be going to Amazon Prime Video for its US streaming debut.
Coronavirus has most of us stranded at home without much to do. Watching movies is an obvious way to spend your time, but soon enough you will start burning through the latest films available for streaming. This is why movie studios and streaming services are releasing content for streaming ahead of schedule. Those looking for something newer to watch while practicing social distancing have some great options, and we have put together a list of them here.
Movies released early because of Coronavirus:
1. Onward
Directed by Dan Scanlon, who previously directed Monsters University, Onward takes place in a fantasy world filled with elves, monsters, and more creatures. Two elven brothers find a magical staff and gem that can resurrect their dead father for one day. Due to an issue with the gem, the staff only brings back the father's lower body half. The two brothers must go on a quest to find another gem to complete the spell, and see their dad again, before the day ends.
Early release date: March 20, 2020 (You can also watch it on Disney Plus)
