Due to the corona crisis, a new trend can currently be observed: More and more big blockbusters are starting on streaming services instead of celebrating their premiere on the big screen.
For example,
Disney canceled
the theatrical release of "Mulan" * and instead made the film available on its own
Disney +
platform

Recently, there were also rumors that the new "James Bond" film could also appear on a streaming platform.
This development means that platforms like
Prime Video
or
Netflix are
constantly vying for new releases.
For example,
Amazon
recently managed to secure the
"Borat" sequel
"Borat Anschluss Movie".
Also,
"The Prince of Zamunda 2"

prime video
.
As the magazine Deadline first reported, the comedy should
be available
on the platform
on March
5, 2021
