Turns out that it doesn't matter if movies get delayed because now theaters are just straight up being closed down. SF, LA and the tri-state New York area have all shut down their movie theaters.

Now if I was in the movie business I'd contemplate putting movies that should have come out around now on Amazon rental for say $10, which a lot of limited release movies already do.

I wouldn't be shocked to see some of that, but the studios also need to deal with production being slowed down by the pandemic. Much of what is being delayed due to people not going to theaters now is going to take the spot of future releases that will have to be delayed because they can't get finished on schedule.

The local indy theater has closed but Cinemark seems to proceeding forward without any restrictions. E: they are cutting staff with no pay though due to low attendance.

Landmark Theaters and Alamo Drafthouse are both closing while AMC is enacting a new policy where theaters will either be at 50% capacity or 50 people, whichever is less.

The UK cinema chains have shut today. It's surreal to go to the Odeon site and see "closed until further notice." I'm not enjoying this slightly less grim Contagion LARP.

Iowa's governor has ordered movie theaters (and pretty much everything else) to shut down starting at noon today, which is in an hour and a half from now. We're scrambling because that's really really short notice, but we'll see if AMC/Regal/multiple state governments push Marcus to close everything. I honestly don't have the highest hopes for that@

Enos Cabell posted:Local paper says that Marcus theaters in Nebraska are closed now as of an hour ago. yeah Marcus is closing their locations now. i'm surprised they went before Cinemark honestly. they're offering some money to employees who work more than 15 hours a week, but not a whole lot. The warning we got said they expected to be open in 14 days but i'm thinking it will be longer than that, especially with Black Widow dropping out. there's nothing for a while.
