Streaming services
With movie theaters closed in March, ticketing websites such as Ticketmaster saw a dramatic drop of 81 percent while movie theaters suffered a 93 percent drop, compared to 2019. According to a report published in October 2020, consumers switched to more streaming services, the numbers per customer rising to seven different streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, compared to five earlier in April.
