Spain and France have introduced curfews as COVID-19 numbers spike.

Italy, which in February became the first country in Europe to close cinemas due to the coronavirus pandemic, and which re-opened theaters in June, is set to shut down again, starting from Monday, Oct. 26.

The move came after Italy recorded a new daily record of 19,644 coronavirus infections. The government hopes the partial-shutdown will curb the infection rate and avoid the necessity of another total lockdown. It's a major setback for the local industry, which was doing increasingly well. Box office figures in September were the best since the shutdown, with some 5.5 million admissions, although that still represents around half of the business done by French cinemas in September last year.

salas de cinema VS streaming no mundo inteiro ~ pausa na batalha

*gasps in French*

Does a movie have to show in theaters to be considered for awards? If not, those televised awards shows will be awfully short.

It’s safe to say that at this rate the filming industry should strongly consider VOD or Streaming if they want to survive.

They shouldn’t have reopened in the first place, but whatever... The studios - and the theater owners - need to deal with the fact that this is the new “normal.” Gonna have to figure out a way to make money at PPV or something else now.

Ngghhhhff
