‘The Invisible Man’ Other Unseen Movie Menaces

As medical professionals urge social distancing during the global coronavirus pandemic, many movie theaters have temporarily darkened their screens in an effort to prevent the spread of the potentially deadly virus.

The coronavirus has taken a toll on several elements of the U.S. economy, and the Hollywood box office has been particularly affected by the pandemic.

In an unprecedented move, Universal Pictures will make a bunch of their theatrical titles available on-demand from this coming Friday, including the box-office smash that is The Invisible Man. Recent releases The Hunt and Emma will also be available to rent in the United States and other ‘offshore markets where the titles are in release,’ so reports Deadline. The recommended price point will be $19.99 for a 48-hour rental.

Universal Pictures is making it possible for fans to watch their new movies at home during the coronavirus pandemic.

One of the first conversations production designer Alex Holmes had with “The Invisible Man” director Leigh Whannell was about grounding the film in reality and treating it like a psychological thriller, rather than a horror or science-fiction movie.
