    Movies & Cinema during the Pandemic? Catch-all Discussion

    I just want to suggest a counter idea. I know I am tired of staying in place. When this is over and I can return to "normal" I want to get out and about. A lot. Perhaps pent up demand will save the movie houses that are left. I don't have a crystal ball but I can tell you there are lot of...

    Movies & Cinema during the Pandemic? Catch-all Discussion

    I'm very worried about a lot of businesses. They were all thinking "If I could just get to 2021" and now they're told 2022. It is going to get worse before it gets better - and better may not look the same.

    We have neighbors that tell us the death rate is lower than other kinds of flu strains and much lower than previous pandemics - therefore "no problem" When I suggest the shut down was the reason they turn a deaf ear. Apparently we have a segment of the population that will only believe it if...

    Picture was taken B4 Covid The picture came from their website (Drive In is about 20 minutes from me). The movie list is current. I have no idea if they are taking precautions. It is Flo-ri-DUH after all.

    They make up the difference in concessions. Hard to do when you're streaming.

    Yea - we have a drive in near us. On their web site they have always had a notice that if people want them to survive they need to buy from the refreshment stand as that is their only profit. I don't know what they are doing currently.

    I am mostly in agreement with you. The possible game changer would be the roll out of a successful treatment. Turn this into the flu and people can go back to work. A cough and mild fever I can get over ... death, on the other hand, is more difficult.

    I don't think Drive In's will "save" the movie industry. I just wanted to point out that there still is theater demand. When this is over, at least some will want to return to theaters. Will it be less? I don't know. As far as peoples habits forever changing - for those of us that still...

    There have been a few articles on the increase in Drive-In movie attendance. It would seem that at least some of the people still want to go to the show if they can figure out a way. https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-03-18/drive-in-movie-theaters-coronavirus
