<p>With theaters closed across the world due to the <a href="https://www.cnet.com/how-to/coronavirus-and-covid-19-all-your-questions-answered/">COVID-19</a> pandemic, movie fans are having to enjoy their favorite past-time at home, using the wide variety of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-to-netflix-in-may-2020-more-movies-anime-tv-sh/1100-6476360/">streaming services</a> available.

We have no timeline on when that decision will be made."</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/uk-theaters-in-discussions-for-end-june-reopening/1100-6476923/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
