The COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the world at the beginning of 2020 was not only a big threat to public health, but also to the entire entertainment industry. While cinemas and theaters closed their doors to try to stem the spread of the disease, many people turned to home entertainment and gaming during periods of self-isolation. In the week beginning March 16, 2020, player spending on the hugely popular mobile game Pokémon Go hit a peak of 23 million U.S. dollars worldwide.
