Currently, based on CDC estimates, the "emergency" period will go through the end of May, then give everyone 3-4 weeks to settle down and get back to normalcy. The weekend before Independence Day sounds about right for full recovery. if all is gong well then Paramount should have sneak previews on Father's Day to build hype 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Seattle, it's basically only the AMC and Regals that are open. Most of the independent theaters are closed. If you cut your boxoffice in half, it sure as hell is going to have an effect.

filmlover Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Onward is looking at a potentially 75% drop. Disney might as well pull it from theaters after this weekend and maybe re-release it when life starts to slip back into normalcy to see if they can squeeze some lost dollars out of it cause parents and kids are only gonna continue avoiding theaters (and most public places) for the foreseeable future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about piracy issues? And does Disney re-market the entire film? Cause everything now is basically sunk cost. You can argue the same for some movies that got squeezed / killed by competition; tons of movies that release every summer doesn’t have good number of theaters / screencounts because there are simply too many movies showing; but have you heard of studios pulling back a movie halfway after release? To rerelease it? it does not make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not work this way; it is not about cutting box office by half. now you are assuming that when cinema chains half the capacity, that 50% is still filled. This is not the case, Cinema chains can half the capacity of seatings, this relates to the supply of tickets - but the supply (even after being halved), far outstrip the demand.

What I'm more wondering is if even the information about half capacity is enough to keep people away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Jatinder Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 But is half enough? I mean if you really want 6 feet apart rule, capacity can't exceed 25%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it will take a bit longer for cinemas to re-open though. China only reopening cinemas at the start of May eventhough the country has been returning to normalcy for the past week. Maybe Minions 2 will be the first release. Even if it all goes back to normal in June, I'm pretty sure that Paramount will have delayed Top Gun 2 and WB would have delayed In the Heights too by that time. Don't think any of the June releases are staying because studios won't want to risk it. If it all goes like I think it will, Tenet will be the first major post-Coronavirus release.

Sonic and TIM release look very well timed. Sonic had a deep run compared to most movies right now. Even Emma for that matter salvaged something by going wide last weekend. CotW will loose much less money than Onward. They could have swapped release dates as CotW was not really Disney's own movie but all too easy to say now.
