Hmmm .... looks like it's not about to get any better. Very bad timing, since local tentpoles are set to return to cinemas in August.

newbie BO buff Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard and Peter Rabbit 2 both postponed last week. We might lose out on Black Widow as well. Lost about 45% showtimes from pandemic peak (at the opening of F9). COVID-19 spiraling out of control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Man, this market has really had a brutal time in terms of number of serious covid waves. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie BO buff Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 As the result of partial cinema (re)closures, F9 took a brutal 70% dive in its second week. And things are about to get worse since malls will be instructed to close at 5pm, effectively eliminating weekday shows. With only daytime weekend shows, I wonder whether the cinemas will opt to stay open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie BO buff Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hard restrictions implemented since 3 July 2021. Only cinemas outside of Java and Bali now open - that's only about 25% of all screens. Number of showtimes back to November 2020 level. I don't know how we'll survive this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie BO buff Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Late June postponed titles: Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway We already a had a bunch of DCPs ready for July: The Forever Purge The Boss Baby: Family Business Black Widow Space Jam: A New Legacy Escape Room: Tournament of Champions While local blockbusters were slated to return beginning August. This new hard restriction period is supposed to last until 20 July, but I seriously doubt it will happen. The target was to lower the number of daily new case to fewer than 10k while now, 3 days in, the number keeps rising and is now 30k. Exhibitors are looking at 28 July for a return, but let's see Edited July 5, 2021 by newbie BO buff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids under 12 aren’t at much risk, they should just be exempt from vaccine requirements. That’s how most countries are doing it afaik. Oh well.
