Movie theaters across the country are just starting to open up again, but if you’re still social distancing, there are a number of ways to catch new releases from the comforts of home. If you’re looking for something to watch while quarantining, a number of movie studios are either releasing new films directly online, or moving up VOD release dates for films that were just in theaters. Films that were previously in theaters have moved up their home release dates too, so you can stream, download or buy a physical copy right now.
We’re updating this list with the most popular titles you can find online right now. Each of these films are available for rent, for purchase (as a digital download on on DVD/Blu-ray) or to stream via a streaming service like Disney+ or Hulu. Many of these streaming services are offering free trials right now too, to help people stay entertained while stuck at home.
Note: titles are arranged in alphabetical order
Artemis Fowl – stream on Disney+
Beyonce: Black is King – stream on Disney+
Bill & Ted Face the Music – rent or purchase on Amazon. Amazon lets you pause or re-start at any time. You have 30 days to watch the movie once you add to cart, and 48 hours to finish it once you hit “play.”
