Visits to the cinema have drastically dropped after the Covid-19 Pandemic, and OTT platforms have taken hold of the wide range of audiences to watch any film from the comfort of their homes. More people nowadays prefer to wait for the films to hit the OTT platforms than go to the cinema to experience them. While this may have led to a downfall in the number of cinema-goers, it has also helped the industry in more ways than one.
One example is the resurgence of old films that have long since been released, which new viewers can now enjoy more conveniently. One such example is Hugh Jackman’s 2011 blockbuster and fan-favoriteReal Steel.
