Here Are All Of The Movies Being Released On Demand This Weekend
From movies the whole family will love like Trolls World Tour to a whole lot of horror movies, there's something for everyone.
Welcome to another week of movie watching! As you already know, movie theaters have closed across the globe, so new releases are being released On Demand instead.
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, and Verizon. Each movie's availability varies by studio, but you can usually find them in the aforementioned services.
