!![[AvertedTrope Notable Aversions]]
* Creator/{{MGM}} allegedly pitched ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' to Creator/AppleTVPlus and Creator/{{Netflix}} due to the rising costs incurred by its delays. However, the streamers balked at its $600 million pricetag.
* Apple TV+ and Netflix allegedly approached Creator/{{Paramount}} about purchasing ''Film/TopGunMaverick'', but the studio refused to sell.
* Netflix made a $250 million offer to Creator/LegendaryPictures to purchase ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'', much as they had done for ''Film/EnolaHolmes''. This time, Creator/WarnerMedia blocked the deal, which led to backlash when Warner's plan to release the film on Creator/HBOMax was revealed. Ultimately, Warner compensated Legendary for its part in the film's production as a result.

!!Creator/TheBBC

Owing to the sudden dearth of new programming available due to the pandemic, several series originally intended for BBC Two (generally home to more niche or highbrow programming) were moved or promoted to the more mainstream BBC One to fill the holes in the schedule. Examples of this include:

* ''Series/DragonsDen''
* ''Series/TheGreatBritishSewingBee''
* ''Series/MasterChef: The Professionals''
* The Australian import ''The Secrets She Keeps'' was originally intended for BBC Four (a digital channel even more niche and highbrow than BBC Two, and frequently features other imported dramas), but was promoted to BBC One, a decision likely helped out by the fact that it featured [[Series/DowntonAbbey Laura Carmichael]] in the lead role

With the onset of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic shuttering theaters across the globe, numerous films planned for theatrical release in 2020 were either sold from their original distributors to various streaming services or shifted to their in-house streaming service. Some of them did have limited domestic theatrical release and/or wide release in countries where theaters have widely reopened.
