With the pandemic situation that started in 2020, it delayed the release of many movies in theatres worldwide. Indeed, it also led to most movies moving their releases to streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video and others.
With most of 2021 being over, people are hoping that the large screens will be showing the latest releases in the last few months of the year. Some titles such as Space Jam or Coming 2 America have already been released on the video streaming services. However, many would still go to the movies to see these popular flicks on the big screen when they open their doors again.
Till then, it has mostly been online entertainment for people, especially gaming and gambling domains. It is of little surprise that mobile casino Canada sites have done well in this period. Most of these sites ensure secure gambling on the go, allowing players to log into their accounts on their smartphones and wager on the go.
