Welcome back, movie lovers! As you know, movie theaters are closed across the globe and movies are being released digitally — so you can watch them in the comfort of your own home.
In the US, "on demand" usually means a title will be available to rent via your cable TV provider and most (but not necessarily all) of the following services: Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Vudu, Google, YouTube, Fandango, DirecTV, Charter, Dish, Cox, Altice, Sony, Frontier, Redbox, and Verizon. Each movie's availability varies by studio, but you can usually find them in the aforementioned services.
Let's see what's new this week!
