The coronavirus pandemic is going to change the movie business completely in the coming years. Digital streaming companies and direct OTT releases are here to stay.

Small-budgeted movies or films made with stars who don’t have crowd-pulling abilities will not find theaters at all in the coming days. They may have to completely skip the theatrical route. Direct to OTT is the safest way for them. 

The theater release may suitable for only big-budgeted movies or films that have big and medium-range stars. These cannot opt for direct digital release due to economics.
