Not only first half but this whole year box office will be severely affected if the situation is not controlled properly.
Hollywood movies will be affected the most.
At this point I don't see any movie expect F9 making 100m+ in China.
Don't know about your expectations.
For me anything around Shazam Domestic and OS is huge win.
Budget is only 85m, they will make a good profit.
Just want Gotham City Sirens movie now.
People need to remember that female fronted movies are generally pre-sale heavy.
Beauty and the beast, Captain Marvel and Frozen 2 are the recent example.
None of that is in UP.
UP is very good place but it is equally bad.
The main reason behind UP being less developed is politics.
UP is the most important state when it comes to forming a government.
I am really scared right now. Because if it spreads to India there is no coming back soon.
It will atleast take a year to somewhat control it and that's a big if.
Most of these will go to streaming. That is yhe future of indie movies nowadays.
Oscar contenders are becoming more and more big studio friendly.
Most of the Best Picture nominees of this year are kind of event movies.
1917
Ford v Ferrari
Joker
Little Women
Marriage Story
Irishman
Once upon a time in Hollywood
JoJo Rabbit
Only one indie movie :
Parasite
There were very less MCU fans in general.
MCU exploded with Avengers and DC fans weren't able to tolerate the success.
DC fans bullied MCU with BvS saying it will be highest grossing cbm. And rest is history..
Black Knight is not the lead. Ikaris is lead. Dane is in this movie only because he is love interest of Sersi.
Black Knight character has very less crossover with Eternals.
If virus spreads to India then everything is finished.
India is not capable enough to deal with this kind of virus.
Political outrage is already Killing the country.
Most of the people in India will never take this virus seriously.
I pray that this never happens.
