Netflix aims to release as many movies as possible to give its rival streaming websites a tough time, as Apple, Disney Plus, HBO Max and other websites have also started releasing movies on OTT Platforms as theatres are closed due to Coronavirus.

In addition, other countries, including India and Pakistan, are witnessing an increase in the number of streaming websites at the local level, and plans are afoot to release more movies online instead of in cinemas in the near future.
