Distributor Modern Films has opted to give an online release to “The Perfect Candidate” in the U.K., as an alternative to the planned theatrical release, which has been put back as British movie theaters shutter due to coronavirus.

The film by Haifaa Al Mansour, the trailblazing Saudi director of “Wadjda,” was scheduled for theatrical release on March 27.

Modern Films attributed the decision to the “current time of uncertainty around cinemagoing and the COVID-19 virus,” and said it preferred this route to canceling or postponing the release.

The company plans to release it in theaters as soon as possible. The partner on the online release is Curzon Cinemas, through their Curzon Home Cinema platform.
