Nearly half a million accounts were sold since the start of online screening of Iranian movies on April 12 over a period of one month. 
Five movies, namely "Exodus" by Ebrahim Hatamikia, "Tala" by Parviz Shahbazi, "Under the Supervision" by Majid Salehi, "New Moon Hotel" by Takefumi Tsutsui and "Blade and Termeh" by Kiumars Pourahmad, were shown online by two local video streaming service providers, Filimo and Namava, as the coronavirus closed movie theaters and people were confined to a home quarantine. 
With an average 2.5 viewers for each of the 150,000-rial (88 cents) account, the turnover of this new form of entertainment has been estimated at 750 billion rials ($4.41 million) with a viewership of 1.25 million.
