Okay guys, I’ve cracked it.
Take every movie scheduled from April 10 2020 through 2028.
F9 them.
Voila, no new schedule collisions are produced and all production delays are accounted for.
I know what happened Wednesday. I’m saying that well before Wednesday, it was obvious that something like that was going to happen. That’s how these things work. Good box office predictions had these events baked in last weekend.
I know what he’s trying to say, just pointing out it’s a bit of an over generalization. Last Saturday I was thinking like 80. This wasn’t impossible to see coming by any means.
Not exactly the best timing. Maybe people will start up again whenever theaters start up again.
In fact, I think I’ll start up (for the first time) then.
Depending on your notion of big:
Trolls 2 hasn’t officially moved from April 10 yet
BW hasn’t officially moved from May 1 yet
The first blockbuster with a >1% chance to debut in its current date imo is WW84 on Jun 5.
This is more of a covid thread question, but the short answer is that China instituted extremely severe measures that neither the US nor Europe has instituted or has shown any indication that they’d be particularly willing to institute.
I mean, there are pretty good scientific, non exaggerated/doomsaying for kicks reasons to be talking about it lasting more than 3-4 months.
I guess you’re frustrated, but I wouldn’t downplay that possibility by comparing it to impossible hyperbole like 3-40 years.
I mean, if you seriously still don't get that theaters are about to close, I don't really know what to tell you. Trolls will move any day now. Theaters aren't going to be bothering with operating costs for a 5M combined weekend where the top release is I still Believe week 4 or some shit.
As to when they come back, just look at China's timeline and consider that our response has been MUCH worse, closer to Iran. That only extends how long it will take to get back online
