In recent years, the entertainment landscape has gone through a great transformation with a change of mindset in public preferences from traditional cinema experiences to the convenience and variety offered by Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms like Netflix, Prime videos, Disney hostar and many more. This change has sparked the discussions and debates about the future of cinemas and the increasing dominance of OTT services.
With OTT platforms audiences can enjoy their favourite movies and shows from the comfort of their homes, by eliminating the need for travel and fixed screening schedules associated with traditional cinemas.
The rise in costs associated with traditional cinema experiences including ticket prices, concessions and transportation have made OTT platforms an attractive and cost-effective alternative. Subscription offered by OTT services provide unlimited access to a vast library of content for a fraction of the cost of a single cinema outing.
The global COVID-19 pandemic time increased the usage of OTT platforms as lockdowns and social distancing measures forced cinemas to close temporarily. During this period, audiences turned to streaming services for entertainment and many discovered the convenience and benefits of at-home viewing.
