Cinema executives believe there will still be demand for movies, even with concerns about COVID-19. Their hopes are pinned on the July 17 release of Warner Bros. Entertainment's"Tenet," followed by Disney's"Mulan" and the Warner Bros. superhero flick"Wonder Woman 1984."
But if consumers do prove risk-averse, then the industry is looking for ways to fill seats on other days of the week."They may hold job fairs during the week, have social gatherings or church services on a Sunday," said John Partilla, chief executive of Screenvision Media, which sells advertising that runs ahead of movie trailers."They are all are having discussions about being more central to the community.
If he seats fewer people to accommodate social distancing, then financially"it just isn't worth showing a movie," he said. Another question is whether Hollywood will release its big movies until there's enough of a market.
Yes.
When there is a vaccine yes but for now I will only visit a drive-in
Yes
Let’s hope not it is all crap!
Tough call. Home entertainment more innovative by the day.
No.
We cannot allow this to happen! Hollywood is a useful means of disseminating information in supportnof our cause of creating a workers government!
Yes
Why would we?
👇🏿😒🤳🏿
😔
Hope
I def will!
No one was going that often before COVID so I don’t think anyone really cares except the owners of the theaters! I rarely go unless it is suppose to b a made for big screen pic like Star Wars etc...
Nah. Even before corona it was nah.
I guess so if you open gyms and restaurants you should be able to open theaters
I hope so.
They werent going before!
Yes!! I love going to movies!!
Yes
Most theaters are gross, overpriced, and too loud anyway. Haven’t gone in years.
It seems that Covid is boycotting Hollywood.
Hell no!
Juste que dans ce cas-ci ça fait bizarre vu ce qu’a fait le fou de policier
I will be the 1st inline when they restart the big screen, during the quarantine aka house arrest movies have been essential business, all we do is binge watch shows and movies
I am so hoping Covid-19 leads to bringing back Drive-In movies! Such great memories of fun, as a kid, going to the Drive-In with my family.
I didn't go before.... most movies are garbage
I have no desire to ever go to an overpriced movie. But I'm not the demo they care about.
They went to protests so why not
jdfly101 NOPE. LOVE Streaming! Just saying.
No
People will go back to movie theaters, but I can’t see anyone ever again being willing to spend $14 for popcorn, and $7 for a soft drink.
Since March, popular culture has taken a backseat on my list of things to think about.
No.
Lol i stopped when it became so expensive that you need a bank loan to take your family to the movies.
AMC opens its theaters in a few weeks. Try to keep up.
Why? To freeze to death in over air-conditioned auditoriums eating flagrantly overpriced concessions and dealing with rude, ill-behaved people who talk and/or text throughout the film?
Pedowood is dead, what is China going to do?
They haven’t released any
Not unless actors quit being jack asses, stop lecturing people onhow to live our live and who to vote for. Also they need to stop coming up with the garbage 'woke' movies that no one cares about.
It would be sad :(
Nope ! Nobody wants to watch the crap coming out of liberalwood
Communist China is whole set of tyranny, lied hundred years. paid huge money for virus lab, In China Over billion of the poor people can pay less than 1$ for food a day! Devil gangster choosing mating girls in kindergarten, any a mayor can corrupt or graft billions USD.
Lets be honest about it. I hardly went to the movies before the virus. It is expensive, often hard to hear or too loud, uncomfortable, and I see everything in the comfort of my home just about as quick as I can in the theaters.
Convert into a drive in movie theatre
In a couple years..... is too risky right now. But they have nothing to worry about given what I have seen as we opened the economy they will be full.
Probably
Not until the next Marvel movie is released!
I won't...
I have to wonder what for. It was a social event before we had big screen tv. The seats are historically shit. We have other social events. Can it. Change is good & it's gone the way of Blockbuster TrumpIsALaughingStock
Will Hollywood stop human trafficking? That's when I'll return.
Not a chance for me. Especially when l can pay to see said movie at home weeks later
We will survive
Movie theaters have always been disgusting and annoying.
I know I will
I will. I love watching horror and action movies in theater screen. They're meant for screens that big. 🤩
Nope
Of COURSE people will still want to go out. But we are still in the MIDDLE of this pandemic, probably closer to the beginning than to the end. We need the vaccine. We need the treatment. We need hope. That's the real key.
Yes, stop it
I will with no problem.
In New Zealand here, I could go to the movies tonight if I want. No restrictions.
Кто виноват в этом?
Will people stop going to concerts, sporting events, live theater and other performances? No. There's got to be a lot of changes, though, and movie theaters NEED to change the way they've been doing things. And emphasize safety. But moviegoing will stay central to entertainment.
I love seeing movies on the big screen However, it has been years since I've had an enjoyable experience because there's always at least a dozen people that feel it's appropriate to take out their phone and text throughout the movie. So will I miss that? No...
Nope
Yes people have short memories
Will people go to the movies again?
Nope. Tired of the boring redone movies.
Yes they will. Theres always gonna be a way.
Oh, I really hope so!! Movies shown on TV in no way compare to seeing that same movie in a theatre. I miss going to the theatres!
Sure, why not ? What business is now doing, should continue !
I probably won’t. However I was close to that even before the pandemic.
When popcorn is more expensive than the cost of the ticket? No.
Stupid question= stupid answer! Yes people will go to the movies again. How many? Who knows 🤷🏻♂️
I will be... The day they reopen where I live.
I hope not
I'd rather pay movie theater ticket prices to watch at home on my couch. I love movies, but the theater is bothersome.
NO....
Yeah
So funny how much we dont need all these high paid celebs and multi million dollar athletes, moviestars ,music stars .... I knw everyone enjoys them but there not really needed ... only justice outta all this those no better holy elites get benched
6 feet social distance will be golden with hypo cleaning agents between movies ;)
No.
Sometimes I want to go to the movies instead of sitting at home watching netflix
don’t know. Can we vote or nah
Nope. Not one dollar will be spent by me or my family to support an industry that is implicit in the destruction of our cities.

Idk. I really miss spending an hours worth of minimum wage salary on popcorn. POPCORN.
