American businesses find positive ways to tackle social

Coronavirus has affected every corner of the world, every corner of our lives. The Sports League continues indefinitely, with many companies sending employees home and advising the federal government against meetings of 10 or more people.

The American economy has not seen this disruption since World War II. Experts have unanimously advised everyone to stay indoors, as many businesses are essentially blind.

But even in these uncertain times, American ingenuity has grown accustomed to surprising and gin humorous ways. Here are some of the stories we're excited about right now.

NBC Universal releases new movies online instead of movies
With major movie theater chains like AMC, Regal and Cinemark closing their doors indefinitely, NBCUniversal decided to try something new (for traditional studios, at least). Instead of broadcasting movies.

While major films such as Mulan, No Time to Die and Fast and Furious 9 are pushing their release dates, movies already in theaters (or soon to be released) have made their films available on iTunes and turned to Amazon rental services instant video. .

You can now watch movies like Emma, ​​The Hunt and Invisible Man while improving social practices. That will cost you. Currently, each of these films costs $ 20 for 48 hours.

Sports leagues have opened their chests
With the future games pausing for the future, the major American sports leagues are holding all free trials until next month for their premium membership services. It gives you access to game replays, backstage documentaries and tons of archival footage. Here's what you can get from each league:

NFL game passes are free until May 31st. The streaming service provides access to replays of any game from 2009 to 2019, including a condensed 45-minute version and a total of 22 aspects that football fans love. You'll also find beloved NFL originals such as Hard Knocks, Mike Up and A Football Life.
NBA League Pass is also opening access to its services until April 22. You can catch full-length and condensed replays of any game from the 2019-2020 season, along with dozens of classic games and documentaries.
MLB.TV has also opened its safe. Fans can watch any game of the 2018 and 2019 seasons, including the playoffs. There is no word on how long this proposal will last; MLB said it only had "limited time".
Hockey fans need not worry: NHLTV is offering its service for free until April 30. You can view replays of each game from the 2019-2020 season, as well as NHL Original Productions material.
In addition to these membership services, both CBS and ESPN are re-broadcasting classic games on their channels with a focus on legendary channels.

Food and grocery delivery services are socially viable
Food and grocery delivery services have skyrocketed in orders, with most U.S. states implementing stringent social elimination policies last week. According to estimates by Ernest Research, Instacart, Amazon and Walmart, sales increased by at least 65% in the previous week compared to the previous week.

The story is the same with food delivery. More than half of the restaurants in the US are closed, leaving the vast industry without its primary source. In response, many have opened their menus to food delivery services such as GrubHub, Uber Eats, Door Dash and Postmates.

These four apps, which account for 99% of total restaurant delivery sales, have taken new steps to ensure the safe delivery of food during the epidemic. Each of them added an option for contact delivery, and also helped many restaurants to work in a unique way.

Grubb announced last week that it is postponing a $ 100 million commission for independent restaurants infected with coronary virus. According to Grubb, "The restaurant will have four weeks to repay deferred commissions after a two-year grace period, in which they pay commissions of between 15 and 30%."

However, these deferrals only apply to marketing commission fees that restaurants pay to list on Grubb's platform. Restaurants that have deferred these charges will still have to pay delivery and order processing fees. In addition, Grubb needs a restaurant to partner with him for a year after signing up for a referral program.

In an effort to boost restaurant sales, Uber Eats has completely waived delivery fees for independent restaurants affected by coronaviruses. They are still collecting commission fees from those restaurants - estimated at 30% of the order - but expect to boost business for those restaurants by skipping delivery fees.

Independent movie theaters turn to streaming
Last week, indie film distributor Kino Lorber announced an agreement with independent theaters nationwide to host a "Virtual Theatrical Initiative". Like NBC Universal, Kino Lorber releases films scheduled to play in theaters online.

Viewers buy virtual tickets through the theater's website, which they want to support, then the theater sends you a link to air it. The proceeds were then split between Kino Lorber and the theater. There are currently 12 theater shows:

Aperture Movie (Winston-Salem, NC)
Austin Film Society (Austin, TX)
BAM (Brooklyn, NY)
Belcourt Theater (Nashville, TN)
Denver Film / CE Filmmaker (Denver, CO)
Image at Lincoln Center (New York, NY)
Frida Movie (Santa Ana, CA)
Jacob Burns Film Center (Pleasantville, NY)
The Little Theater (Rochester, NY)
Scaffolding Movie (Tucson, AZ)
Santa Barbara International Film Festival Riviera Theater (Santa Barbara, CA)
Wexner Center for the Arts (Columbus, OH)
“When the theaters began to close, we at Kino Lorber changed our thinking about how we could collaborate with our independent theater partners around the country. We cannot release those kinds of films without their support, ”said Wendy Liddell, SVP of Theatrical Distribution at Keno Lorber.

This week, you can stream new releases such as St. Francis, Donna Flor and her two husbands, Bakarou and Corpus Christi.
