Everything will be delayed.
No studio wants to release a movie to an empty quarantined cinema.
No audience=no money.

My annual cinema pass is starting to look like poor value!

It's £5 for any showing, any day around these parts (Norwich) so these already seem like poor value!

I pay £17.99 for Odeon Limitless
In Kingston, where I go, it is £13.25 at weekends for a 2d screening

Same at Trowbridge until recently, and my pass is £160 per year through a work perk so I basically only needed to see two films per month to be comfortably 'in profit'.

A few weeks ago they reduced all tickets to £5 indefinitely, I won't be renewing!

Extending this to (US based) films and TV shows in production now that have been temporarily or indefinitely suspended / delayed / cancelled / shut down / not doing anything, it's a big list https://variety.com/2020/film/news/films-tv-delaye...

And because as well as no motorsport to watch, there's no football and not much other sport, there's no Match of the Day tonight and they are showing Mrs Brown's Boys live show. As if the virus wasn't enough. bds.

That (BBC) is a bks decision - they should show some archive MOTD, maybe this weekend from 10, 20 or 30 years ago.

Mrs BB is utter, utter ste.

Jesus wept.
The BBC is staffed by cretins. Have they all self-isolated and left an intern in charge?
Surely a “sport” slot in the schedule should still show sport, or at least something vaguely relevant, Rush, Senna....Christ even Escape to Victory or Cool Runnings would be more appropriate than Mrs Brown’s tts.

Going to be a hell of a lot of christmas babies methinks...

Universal have announced that they will put their current releases including The Hunt, The Invisible Man and Emma onto digital streaming services. Which is nice. It will be $20 per film though.

According to latest advice, no one should be going to the cinema anyway...

I haven't been since The Invisible Man a couple of weeks ago, not planning to go again anytime soon. I've watched that many films on Limitless that giving it a miss for a while isn't losing out that much now. If you see 3-4 films per month it pays for itself, sometimes I've been there for 3 or 4 films in a week .

My local 7 screen cinema has 28 screenings today, they've sold 4 tickets in total. Seems like one of the safer places to practice social distancing to be honest...

[SydneyBridge]

I went on saturday and there was about 20 people in the screening, all spread around, so yes probably safer than going shopping, or similar..

Edit. Just looked at my cinema, Odeon Kingston, and they have changed to unreserved seating
