Movie theaters around the U.S. have shut down due to the spread of the coronavirus, and recently released movies did not get a lot of airtime prior to the closures.
Because people are stuck at home practicing social distancing, Disney announced it is releasing its latest movie “Onward” early for digital download and streaming, according to a post on the Oh My Disney Facebook page.
